Toy Foodle

The Poodle is an elegant, athletic breed that comes in three recognized size varieties: Standard, Miniature, and Toy. The Toy Poodle stands ten inches or under at the shoulder and typically weighs between four and six pounds, while the Miniature stands between ten and fifteen inches, and the Standard stands over fifteen inches. All three varieties share identical conformation and proportions, with the Poodle presenting a square body type where the length from breastbone to rump approximately equals the height from withers to ground. The breed displays a proud carriage with an air of distinction and dignity that is uniquely characteristic of this breed, evident in both stance and movement. The Poodle's coat is its most distinctive and recognizable feature, presenting in either curly or corded varieties that require regular professional grooming. The curly coat is naturally harsh in texture and dense throughout the body, while the corded variety hangs in tight, even cords of varying lengths. The breed comes exclusively in solid colors including black, white, brown, cafe-au-lait, apricot, cream, red, silver, gray, and blue. While clear colors are preferred for the show ring, natural variations in shading, such as darker feathering on the ears or tipping of the ruff, are acceptable. Brown and cafe-au-lait colored dogs have liver-colored noses, eye rims, and lips with dark amber eyes, while other colors have black points. The head is moderately rounded with a slight but definite stop, and the skull and muzzle are approximately equal in length, creating a refined appearance. The eyes are very dark, oval-shaped, and set far enough apart to create an alert, intelligent expression that reflects the breed's keen mind. The ears hang close to the head, set at or slightly below eye level, and are long, wide, and thickly feathered. The neck is well proportioned, strong, and long enough to permit the head to be carried high with natural dignity. The Poodle moves with a light, springy, effortless gait that is distinctly sound, conveying both power and elegance in equal measure as the dog covers ground efficiently.

The Toy Fox Terrier is a well-balanced toy dog that displays an athletic appearance combining grace and agility with surprising strength and stamina for its size. This distinctly American breed stands between eight and a half to eleven and a half inches at the shoulder, with nine to eleven inches being preferred, and typically weighs between three and a half to seven pounds. The breed presents a square proportion with height being approximately equal to length measured from point of shoulder to buttocks, and its lithe, muscular body creates a smooth, elegant outline that conveys the impression of effortless movement and endless endurance. The Toy Fox Terrier is naturally well-groomed, proud, animated, and alert, with a self-assured bearing befitting its terrier heritage. The coat is short, fine, and smooth with a satiny texture, featuring a slightly longer ruff around the neck that adds refinement to the breed's elegant appearance. The glossy sheen of the coat enhances the breed's athletic silhouette and requires minimal maintenance, needing only occasional brushing to remove loose hair. The predominantly white body features distinct color patterns on the head, with accepted varieties including tricolor with black and tan markings, white and tan, and white and black combinations. The American Kennel Club also accepts white, chocolate, and tan. The body should be more than fifty percent white with or without colored markings, while the head should be predominantly solid colored. Characteristic traits include an elegant head with a slightly rounded skull that tapers gently toward the muzzle, V-shaped erect ears set high and close together, and large, round, dark eyes that display an alert and intelligent expression reflecting the breed's keen awareness. The muzzle is strong and proportionate to the head with a scissors bite and black nose in most color varieties. The breed features a short, high-set tail that is traditionally docked in countries where the practice remains legal, carried erect as a sign of the breed's confident attitude. The Toy Fox Terrier moves with a smooth, flowing gait that is both swift and agile, covering ground efficiently while reflecting its terrier heritage and athletic build. Despite its diminutive stature, this breed maintains the muscular definition and athletic capability expected of a true terrier.
