Baby Ruth, affectionately called "Baby," is a beautiful chocolate parti Toy Poodle looking for her forever family.
After much thought and prayer, we have decided that Baby is simply too small for our breeding program. While we adore her and had hoped to keep her, we believe she will thrive as a cherished companion in a loving home.
Baby has been with us for several weeks and is doing very well. She is crate trained and making great progress with her house training. She is a sweet, affectionate little girl who especially loves children and enjoys being part of family life.
Baby can be a bit timid around men at first and may need some time to build confidence with new people, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she continues to come out of her shell.
She is a gorgeous chocolate parti with a loving personality and would make a wonderful companion for the right family.
If you think Baby might be a good fit for your home, feel free to reach out. We'd be happy to tell you more about her and help determine if she is the right match for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Poodle - Toy
Puppies
What's it like owning a Toy Poodle?
The Toy Poodles are a springy breed, bursting with energy and playfulness. They are obedient, smart, and sensitive and have a knack for finding trouble. Full-grown, they typically weigh 4-6 pounds and stand 9-10 inches tall.
Are Toy Poodles safe around children?
Toy Poodles are generally excellent with children of all ages. They are good with children, since they love to play and have an abundance of energy, but care should be taken with smaller children so there is no rough play. They make great watchdogs, so intruders will likely think twice before entering your home uninvited. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
Can Toy Poodles keep up with an active lifestyle?
A toy poodle typically needs around 30 minutes to 1 hour of exercise per day, which can be achieved through short walks, playtime with interactive toys, and indoor activities, ensuring to avoid strenuous exercises that could strain their small joints; aim for shorter walks and prioritize mental stimulation due to their active and intelligent nature. Overall, their exercise needs are high.
Is a Toy Poodle a good choice for someone with allergies?
The Toy Poodle’s frizzy, wooly coat does not shed, making them ideal pets for people with allergies, so you can put away the Benedryl. They do require regular grooming and if not shaven carefully, can get rashes or skin irritations. Occasional grooming with a professional groomer will keep your Toy Poodle looking and feeling great. Grooming-wise, this breed is fairly high-maintenance. Toy Poodles are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
How much space does a Toy Poodle need?
Toy Poodles are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Toy Poodles are an indoor breed and do well in apartment life. They make great watchdogs, so intruders will likely think twice before entering your home uninvited. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
