The Toy Poodle is one of the brightest and easiest breeds to train, as it is the second smartest breed in the world, losing only to the Border Collie. It is alert, responsive, playful, lively, sensitive, and eager to please.
Originally, the Standard Poodle was bred as a European water retriever and hunting dog, with its name being German for "Puddle." It was later bred down to Toy and Miniature size.

In Nintendogs[]
In Nintendogs, Toy Poodles are selected by color. There are three options: Brown, Black, and White.
In Nintendogs + Cats[]
Toy Poodles in Nintendogs + Cats have a different adoption method in that their "color" choices are actually by muzzle type and not by color. This means that any batch of poodles can have a diverse set of colors as long as they have the same muzzle type. There are two muzzle types: clipped and fluffy.
Surprise Me![]
If the player chooses "Surprise Me!" they may find these special bicolor variations for whatever muzzle type they have selected:
- a black & red Toy Poodle
- a black & tan Toy Poodle
- a gray & tan Toy Poodle
- a gray & white Toy Poodle
