Whatever happens to the "Poodle Standard"!

Although in this picture, this particular breed is so cute. Adorably small in size and talk about that beautiful rounded eyes!

However, in my opinion, I think that that we have to come up with another breed name for this as this is not really look like poodle anymore.

Toy poodle or poodle for that matter quote: (http://www.akc.org/breeds/poodle/index.cfm)

" Eyes-- very dark, oval in shape and set far enough apart and positioned to create an alert intelligent expression. [U]Major fault: eyes round, protruding, large or very light".


"Muzzle-- long, straight and fine, with slight chiseling under the eyes. Strong without lippiness. The chin definite enough to preclude snipiness. Major fault: lack of chin. Teeth-- white, strong and with a scissors bite. Major fault: undershot, overshot, wry mouth".

I wonder how did they come up with this Short muzzle and big rounded eyes look! Mix breeding perhaps?

What you guys think?

thanks for the info.... at least now we know why the eyes became like that! Well, I guess they have to operate each and every puppy that is born before they can be sold in the market... its their choice.

As long as the pups are healthy, then its acceptable.

Hi there,

Were you able to have the vet check them already? Were you able to find out what it is actually?

Here are few of my suggestions for home remedy treatments:
1. Try applying Tea Tree Oil on the affected area. Its a natural antiseptic for Pet Medication.
*** note: mix 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil with 1 cup of water. When using tea tree oil for pet medication, always dilute it as full strength can cause irritations.

for the fur that's sticking together (Also good if its dry & itchy)
2. Fish Oil - preferably Salmon - apply it directly

Hope it helps!

Hi Guys, I have been reading the posts here. to that one guy who is so offended and exasperated with the concerned people here, There is only one thing I want to advice you. LISTEN & LEARN, People in this forum have "been there done that". they are only concern about the life of the poodle pup that you are bringing into your life as well as all the costs that you will incur in bringing up a sick puppy!

How do I know? well, I am one of those "unfortunate buyer".

I wished that I have been friends and learned from the people here in this forum (that you are bashing!) before making my first poodle purchase!

Based on my experience, with buying poodle and all, I didn't pay cheap or expensive poodle. BUT, I have learned my lesson well. BUY FROM REPUTABLE BREEDER! Believe me, it costs more money for all the supplements and all the best food I can give her. You will see my Sadie's baby pics on FB to understand what I mean (Or let me know, I will posts her before and after picture here).

BTW, I was also told that she was a toy poodle, but on her first month with me, she was already 8.5inch height (3 months old), why grow so FAST!??. when I asked the breeder if she is a toy or a mini, you know what he told me? He questioned my LOVE for Sadie! see what I mean? BAD BREEDER DON'T CARE AT ALL!

With the insightful posts here in this forum, expert FB friends as well as lots of research, I was able to make my baby better and I am proud to tell you that she is well mannered, fun loving girl and she hardly barks at all! my first poodle love!

I can see that you have the heart for the animal as well based on your posts here and you mentioned that you will be OK even though its mix breed. So why not consider adopting at our local shelter? you will absolutely save a life.


P.S.
Don't get upset with me. Just like any other protective mom, I am not comfortable talking about my baby here. BUT I felt like I have a responsibility to let you know so that you will somehow learn from my experience.

though its wrong usage of words, but these days,in an informal communication such as this, "A guy" is not just used for men my dear, and you even call me "Dude" which is also men, my name here is newpoodlemum! ah, go figure! but that's fine with me, because these days "dude" is also use for both men and women ....Ayooo english english..that's why people better meet in person,this kind of discussion online will cause BIG trouble!

No point arguing here on who said this or who said that! I thought that my experienced will open your mind in the good way, but you have to look for the negative side of my letter and even got angry with me.

We are just concern period! but if we disappointed you, we are very sorry indeed that this poodle thread does not satisfy you. We promise to handle this better next time.

on the positive note, i will not answer anymore of this discussion.

Sorry for late reply. Just finished long day at work...

& Debbie - with regards to the oil, I have ordered the red palm oil for you already, I will go pick it up once I go back my hometown (Teluk Intan) and will let you know . On the other hand, I also give Sadie Fish Oil (Preferably Salmon). It is very good indeed! I agree with CyaNide27, you can also give Human consumption fish oil. That's exactly what I am buying for Sadie

OH and yes! I am Sadie's Mum
