About Carmella

Beloved worldwide for their elegance, intelligence, and distinctive coat, Miniature and Toy Poodles embody the perfect blend of beauty and brains. Falling under the broader Poodle breed umbrella, these smaller versions carry the same charm, intelligence, and class, but in a petite, more manageable package. Miniature and Toy Poodles are well-suited to a variety of living environments, making them excellent companions for families, seniors, and city dwellers alike. 

Miniature Poodles, being slightly larger than their Toy counterparts, stand at around 10 to 15 inches at the shoulder, while Toy Poodles are even more diminutive, measuring up to 10 inches. Despite their small size, both Miniature and Toy Poodles carry themselves with an air of dignity and pride that's truly captivating. 

Renowned for their superior intelligence and exceptional trainability, these breeds excel in various dog sports, including agility, obedience, and tracking. Their curly, hypoallergenic coats, available in an array of colors, add to their appeal, but do require regular grooming to keep them looking their best. 

Beneath their sophisticated exterior, Miniature and Toy Poodles are affectionate, playful, and thrive on human companionship. They form strong bonds with their families, and their sensitivity to people's moods makes them excellent therapy dogs. However, they're not just lap dogs; these Poodles are energetic, athletic dogs who need regular physical and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy.
