Frequently Asked Questions
About Poodle - Toy Puppies
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Mal Shi Puppies
About Mal Shi Puppies
What makes Mal Shis special?
The Mal-Shi is a cross between a Maltese and a Shih Tzu. This hybrid originated in the United States. It is also known by Shih-tese, Shihtese and Malti Tzu. The Maltese is a small, fearless and very playful dog with a long, white silky coat that is hypoallergenic (very low shed cycle). Maltese do very well with other animals, but are often leery of strangers. The Shih Tzu is a medium sized and more sturdy breed with a double coat that is very people focused and literally thrives on attention and affection. The combination of these two breeds produce a cute, sturdy, intelligent, family focused dog with a slow shed cycle. Full-grown, they typically weigh 6-12 pounds and stand 10-10 inches tall.
Are Mal Shis safe around children?
Mal Shis are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. They do well with older children, nearly all animals, and with those of whom they are accustomed. They're not overly vocal and often fearful of strangers, making them a poor candidate for watchdog. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
How do I keep a Mal Shi physically active?
Mal-Shi are house pets in need of protection from extreme temperatures and they require plenty of exercise and playtime. A brisk twenty minute daily walk may do the trick, but don't neglect to fulfill their never ending desire to run, chew and play. A bored lazy Mal-Shi is likely to become depressed, destructive, disobedient or even worse, missing. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
Is a Mal Shi a good choice for someone with allergies?
The MalShih coat typically resembles that of a standard Shih Tzu with less, or no, undercoat. Like the standard Shih Tzu, the Mal-Shi does not shed as like most breeds do, but rather lose hair slowly like people. Most owners keep their Mal-Shi in a puppy cut (coat trimmed short) and others groom them daily using the traditional top knot and center part. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance. Mal Shis are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
What should first-time owners know about Mal Shis?
Mal Shis are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. They are fairly easy to train.

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

Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.

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.

A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
