Special care needs to be taken with young babies, and appropriate introductions will lead to a respectful relationship.

      The Miniature Poodle and Toy Poodle varieties can do well in most households that are not overly noisy or permissive. They may be small dogs, but they still need to be addressed as dogs and treated as equals, not as the kings or queens of the home. Due to their high intelligence, if they live a permissive lifestyle, they can easily become snarky and demanding.

Common Health Concerns

      Although Poodles are one of the healthier breeds of dogs overall, they do have some common health concerns. One is the penchant for ear infections. Ear infections can happen to any dog with a fold-over ear and dog hair within that traps dirt and wax, creating the perfect environment for infections to develop. Keeping the ears free of hair and dirt will easily prevent this from happening.

      Other health issues, such as Addison’s disease, epilepsy, gastric dilation (a twisting of the stomach, sometimes referred to as bloat), tracheal collapse, and thyroid issues, can occur as well. Professional breeders generally choose sires (fathers) and dams (mothers) to prevent these issues from plaguing their puppies. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t occur to one or more pups within the same litter, because the genes are still present.

      Poodles also tend to be sensitive to environmental allergens, which can result in ear and skin infections, as well as lick granulomas (irritated spots also known as hot spots) on their feet.

      

Addison’s disease may be difficult to diagnose because it appears similar to other health issues. It’s caused by insufficient production of glucocorticoid and/or mineralocorticoid in the adrenal cortex, which is near the kidneys. It’s more common in the Standard Poodle than the other two varieties. The symptoms include unexplained lethargy, frequent gastric disturbances, and sometimes an inability to handle stress. It can be fatal, but if caught and treated, the dog can live a full life.
