Toy Poodle Forum:
Tiny Toys and Tea Cups

My reply to a message would not post for some reason, so am trying it here. Though these are not recognized in the AKC standard, but are registered under Toy by breeders of them, I wish to say that I support this effort. I am older and arthritic and do not want a Chiwauwa. My old Poodle grew to heavy to carry very far on our walks when she got old and arthritic. Now I (like other older Americans who love Poodles) need a smaller light weight dog that can be carried when it is older. We get old with our dogs as well. In time the AKC will change and allow this into the standard as legit. May take a long time, but it will happend. Stick with it.
