My toy poodle is great with my daughter
Our daughter’s toy poodle loves to go to the doggie park to run and play with the other small dogs. However, he quickly tires of them and likes to be allowed into the big dog area where he will allow them to smell him up to a point, then he will suddenly growl and snap and bark at them and scare them away. He then proceeds to chase them around the park barking viciously to show who’s boss!
We have an 8 year old black toy poodle named Halo. She is the sweetest little thing. She loves children, and thinks that everyone should love her also. Even those who don’t care for dogs. She loves to have a "picnic" on the deck when I take her food dish out. If I say the word "picnic," she knows what that means. She also knows the words "nap, walk, eat, treat, nummy, and many more I can’t think of now. We love her dearly. She is sleeping on my lap right now.
