How do you tell whether a Teddy dog ​​is pure or not? Do you also want to know what to look for when choosing a Teddy? So below, Xiaodouzi will share with you how to tell whether a Teddy dog ​​is pure or not.

How to tell whether a dog is pure or not:

Teddy (English name: toy poodle) is a type of poodle. Many poodles labeled as Teddy Poodles are actually disqualified poodles. They generally have round eyes and high ears. VIPs usually have almond-shaped eyes, which makes them appear wise. Teddy bear dogs are just a gimmick created by dog ​​dealers, just like the blue-eyed huskies and three-fire dogs.

Poodles are lively, alert and elegant dogs. They have good body proportions and show a confident and proud attitude. According to FCI standards, their height limits are: Poodle, less than 28 cm; Miniature Poodle, 28-35 cm; Medium Poodle, 35-45 cm; Giant Poodle 45-60 cm. The bones and muscles of the front and rear legs should be in proportion to the dog's body.

First of all, its eyes, eyeliner, nose, and mouth must be pure black. Then the coat color should be uniform and shiny. When buying, buy one with a lot of hair. The thicker and darker the reddish brown, the better. In addition, the nose should be smaller, and the eyes should be almond-shaped but not too big. The shorter the nose, the smaller the body will be when it grows up. When buying, remember to check the parents if you can see the dog. It is also recommended to buy a dog that is more than 3 months old. The younger the dog, the less resistant it is and the easier it is to die young.

The size is small, basically no more than 8 pounds, so that it can be picked up casually and it will have the feeling of a teddy bear. Of course, some buyers like large-sized bears, but in principle It should be no more than 38cm (the maximum shoulder height for a miniature Poodle), otherwise your Poodle will look like a bear rather than a cub (not to mention how annoying it would be to have such long fur).

How do you check if a Teddy dog ​​is pure? It has enough hair and good curl. Generally, when we buy a dog, we will ask for good hair volume, especially for "Teddy VIP", and the hair should be in small rolls, similar to sheep cake velvet (you can observe the hair volume when buying a puppy). The hair at the end of the dog’s ears should be as curly as possible); you don’t want your bear to feel like a mini Afghan instead of fluffy.

The mouth should not be too long. Poodles have the standard of a poodle, but as an ideal "Teddy Poodle", it is better to have a shorter and smaller mouth (not too wide); in this way, after the hair is left in the future It will look like a small ball. Of course, dogs that have been purchased and have slightly longer mouths can also be modified by trimming, which we will talk about below.

Dark colors are preferred. Red and chocolate are good, but because the current price is on the high side, black or apricot are also good choices. This actually involves more personal preference; but you need to be reminded. What’s more, a white Poodle with long muzzle hair will look more like a Bichon than a bear (especially the “short-footed Poodle” on the market now - that is, a Poodle with a significantly rectangular body shape, as a pet-level VIP, it doesn’t matter if you prefer a rectangular body shape)
