Most people say that they are nothing like poodles. Teddy bear-faced, teacup poodles will look like puppies forever. It’s all about the adorable fuzzy round face.

These poodles have a round head and eyes with a short nose and a wide muzzle.

In fact, Teacup Poodles and Toy Poodles, if kept in a teddy bear clip when brushed, will look like puppies all their lives. A teddy bear clip leaves hair on the face and feet and is rounded off with the scissors. In a traditional poodle clip, the face and feet are usually shaved.

Teddy Bear Teacup puppies and TB Toy Poodle puppies are growing in popularity. People who don’t like the traditional poodle look are falling in love with these dogs. They enjoy the intelligence and the hypoallergenic, clean and shedding-free benefits of having a poodle with a new look.

I have people tell me all the time, I wish my puppy would never grow up and look like a puppy forever. A Tiny TB Faced Poodle is exactly what you’re looking for. Teacup Poodles typically weigh 4 pounds or less, Small Toy Poodles typically weigh 4 to 5 pounds, and a Toy Poodle typically weighs 5 to 8 pounds. Each of these sizes will be registered as a toy poodle because poodles that are 10 inches or less are registered as a toy poodle.

Teddy Bear Teacup Poodle puppies and Teddy Bear Toy Poodle puppies are a specialty and they are as cute as can be. Yes, they are AKC recognized.

I have been breeding poodles for over 30 years, I have found that once you have a poodle, you will never change breeds. They are like having a 4-legged child, a new member of your family. Poodles can adapt to almost any lifestyle. They have a lot of individual character, they are funny, lovable and protective. Their soft hair is very comfortable and wonderful to touch, and they love to be pampered.

The Teacup Poodle and Toy Poodles are ideal for apartment living and people with small homes.

What to tell your hairdresser. The teddy bear style clip requires the face and legs to be cut by hand with scissors in a round/symmetrical shape.

I recommend that you find a hairdresser who specializes in drying lint and cutting by hand with scissors. Poodles look best on a 1-inch-long clip of hand scissor. Take a photo with you to show it to your hairdresser. Manual scissors and manual drying of lint is an art, a specialty. Be sure to make sure your groomer is qualified and does not shave your dog.
