Meet the Parents: The Heart Behind Our Poodles

At Fancy Toy Poodles, we believe that exceptional puppies begin with exceptional parents. Every teacup, mini, and toy poodle puppy we raise is a reflection of the love, care, and thoughtful planning we put into selecting and raising our adult dogs. This page is designed to give you full transparency and insight into the devoted moms and dads behind our precious poodle litters. We don’t just breed dogs—we preserve, protect, and celebrate the poodle breed we love.

Health History & Genetic Testing

The long-term health of our puppies begins with their parents. That’s why all of our breeding poodles are:

  • Fully vet-checked and approved for breeding by licensed veterinarians.
  • Genetically tested through top labs (such as Embark, Paw Print Genetics, and Wisdom Panel) to screen for hereditary conditions, including:
    • PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) – a genetic condition affecting eyesight.
    • Patellar Luxation – a common small-dog knee issue.
    • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) – a neurological condition.
    • Heart irregularities and other breed-related risks.

By carefully reviewing DNA panels and health certifications, we ensure that breeding pairs are either clear of these conditions or responsibly matched to prevent affected puppies. This proactive approach gives our families confidence that their poodle is coming from strong, healthy roots.

Temperament of the Parents

Health is only part of the picture. We also prioritize temperament in every breeding decision. Our parent dogs are:

  • Gentle, affectionate, and loving.
  • Intelligent and eager to learn (true to the poodle reputation).
  • Loyal and people-focused, bonding closely with their families.
  • Confident and friendly, never timid or overly anxious.

Because our dogs live in our home as cherished companions, we know their personalities inside and out. By breeding only emotionally stable, well-socialized parents, we help ensure that their puppies inherit the same balanced, happy disposition.

Size & Weight of Our Poodles

We specialize in raising teacup, toy, and miniature poodles. While sizes can vary slightly within litters, here’s what you can generally expect:

  • Toy Poodles
    • Height: up to 10 inches (25 cm) at the shoulder
    • Weight: 4–6 pounds (1.8–2.7 kg)
  • Miniature Poodles
    • Height: 10–15 inches (25–38 cm)
    • Weight: 10–15 pounds (4.5–6.8 kg)
  • Teacup Poodles (an even smaller size, carefully bred from the tiniest healthy parents)
    • Height: under 9 inches (23 cm)
    • Weight: 3–4 pounds (1.3–1.8 kg)

Coat Type & Grooming Needs

Poodles are famous for their beautiful, low-shedding, hypoallergenic coats. Our breeding adults all carry this signature trait:

  • Soft, curly coats that require regular grooming to stay healthy and tangle-free.
  • Coat colors that follow the breed standard, ranging from black, white, cream, apricot, red, and silver.
  • Puppies inherit coat qualities from both parents, so we always inform families about the expected texture, color, and grooming needs of each litter.

By pairing the right parents, we ensure our puppies are not only stunning to look at but also healthy and easy to manage with proper grooming care.

✨ In every way—health, temperament, size, and beauty—our parent dogs are the foundation of everything we do. At Fancy Toy Poodles, we’re proud to show you the loving poodle moms and dads behind our litters, because we know their quality shines through in every puppy we raise.

VVaccination & Veterinary Care History

At Fancy Toy Poodles, the health of our adult dogs is always our top priority. Each of our moms and dads receives consistent, comprehensive veterinary care so they can thrive and, in turn, pass along that strong foundation of health to their puppies.

Every one of our adult dogs is:

  • ✅ Fully vaccinated according to veterinary guidelines.
  • ✅ Dewormed on a rotating schedule to prevent parasites.
  • ✅ Protected with heartworm prevention year-round.
  • ✅ Routinely examined by our trusted veterinarian, including full checkups to monitor overall health.

Coat Colors & Patterns

At Fancy Toy Poodles, every puppy’s beauty begins with thoughtful, responsible breeding. We include only ethically bred coat colors and patterns, always putting health and well-being first — never hype or trends.

Our parent dogs come in the classic AKC-recognized colors for Toy Poodles, including elegant shades such as apricot, red, cream, white, black, chocolate, and silver. Each pairing is carefully chosen to ensure puppies that are not only stunning in appearance, but also healthy, well-tempered, and easy to care for.

We avoid any genetically risky pairings and plan every litter with intention and expertise. That means when you bring home a Fancy Toy Poodles puppy, you can trust their color, coat, and temperament are the result of educated, health-conscious breeding choices.

Pedigree / Bloodline

Our parent dogs are handpicked from exceptional bloodlines, with many descending from champion show lines or long-standing, reputable breeders. We maintain multi-generation pedigrees for each of our adult dogs and take pride in upholding the physical and behavioral standards of the breed. This legacy of responsible breeding is reflected in the consistency, beauty, and quality of our puppies.

AKC or Registry Status

All of our parent dogs are registered with the AKC (American Kennel Club) or equivalent reputable registries. Registration confirms their:

  • Purebred status
  • Verified lineage
  • Eligibility for AKC programs (optional)

For buyers who value papers, we’re happy to discuss full or limited registration options depending on your puppy’s purpose (pet, show, or breeding).

Breeding History

We follow strict ethical breeding practices:

  • We limit the number of litters per female
  • We allow our girls to fully rest and recover between litters
  • We retire all breeding dogs early and rehome them with loving families or keep them as lifelong pets We never overbreed or cut corners. We track and record every litter, and we can tell you about the puppies from past pairings, their health outcomes, and even share owner testimonials when available.

Age of the Parents

Our dogs are bred at the ideal reproductive ages—generally between 1.5 and 6 years old. This ensures:

  • Peak fertility
  • Strong immune systems
  • Healthy maternal behavior We never breed females too young or past their safe breeding years. Males are also given proper breaks between pairings and are monitored closely.

Living Environment of the Parents

Our parent dogs are raised in our home, not in a kennel. They sleep indoors, cuddle on the couch, and play in our secure yard. This gives them:

  • Emotional security
  • Healthy physical development
  • Exposure to household sounds and routines They are part of our daily life and that comfort and stability is passed on to their puppies.

Socialization and Behavior with People/Pets

From a young age, our adult dogs are exposed to:

  • Children
  • Other dogs
  • Visitors and strangers
  • Car rides, bath time, and vet visits

This results in confident, adaptable adults who raise well-adjusted puppies. We do not breed shy, anxious, or reactive dogs.
