Best Answer

standard and miniature poodles were used for water retrievle. toy poodles were bred for comanionship. in France, white toy poodles were treasured so much, that if a comman person touched one without permission, he would get his hand cut off. though people think poodles are sissy puffballs, they are wonderful, friendly dogs.

they now exel in agility, flyball, obedience, and conformation.

What does FB1 breeding in dogs mean?

It means that the particular liter is a second generation of that breed. For example, an FB1 miniature Goldendoodle (golden retriever/poodle) would mean that the breeder originally bred a poodle and a golden to get the first set of goldendoodle puppies. Then the breeder bred those goldendoodles with another toy poodle. So now the goldendoodles are bred BACK to poodle and they have now more poodle in them than golden.

Does a toy poodle stay little forever?

Yes they do, it is because of their genetics. The toy poodle was bred from miniatures, which in turn were bred from standards. Each generation, the smallest of the offspring were bred together, causing the average size of the offspring to become smaller, as the genes for above average offspring were not being passed on. Eventually when the desired size was reached, the breeding was not as tightly controlled as before, so even within the breed their is a range of sizes. However a toy poodle will never grow to the size of a miniature poodle for example, as the genes for this size have been bred out.
