@kellvin - what brand is the shampoo. Also are you sure you washed it all out properly (poodle coats can retain shampoo like crazy. Also what kind of odor do you mean, is it sour/musky can you describe it?.
@Kelvenwai -Genia is very cute but i'm sorry, "teacups" make me shudder. I find it slightly immoral to breed dogs to such a small size that their organs are barely able to support them and they are so prone to disease and illness. If a "teacup" is produced due to being the 'runt' of a normal litter, then of course it is necessary to try and give them as much of a normal life as possible but to purposely create such a fragile life simply for the 'cute' or convenient factor to be frank makes me feel a little sick.
sorry, i am trying very hard not to make this seem like i am attacking you personally. I'm sure you are a very responsible owner who takes great care of their dogs, i put this information up more to ward off inexperienced owners who would buy a "teacup" and not care for it properly (which is bad enough with a normal sized dog, but for something so fragile... eek... i'm thinking of suzannetan's neighbor discussed a couple of pages back and the like).
maybe u r rite, but my fren got one teacup size n height with genia , her poodle call Moko, now 4 years old (wow wow meow meow owner) very healthy like toy poodle. i think her teacup is smallest poodle in malaysia coz 4 yr old size like my genia.
Standard poodle is 1500s from german as gun dog and water retrieving, after distributed to France success bred miniature poodle as companion dog.It became favored by French aristocracy and eventually became the national dog of France. Its characteristic clip was accentuated, and a successful effort was made to perfect the smaller specimens. Poodles entered the show ring in the late 1800s.After that new bred call Toy poodle a new bred smaller and life span longer than standard poodle average is up to 14 years.
I believe teacup poodle is new breed, and u can search google . USA , Hong kong, Taiwan and Japan very hit! Especially Hong Kong , they din breed miniature poodle now, they focus tiny toy, teacup, tiny teacup and pocket poodle.
Proven that shih tzu is cross from pekingese (china) and Lhasa apso (tibet), some shih tzu is very big size like Lhasa apso but now shih tzu is smaller 2 -3 kg but life span also same. Even Maltese also got huge size and tiny size ... just sharing ^^
