What clippers should you buy for the Maltese and poodle?

People who are not professional dog groomers shouldn't waste their money on clippers. I made that mistake myself and the ones you buy in a pet store are not cheap and they also are not as good at the professional clippers. I have a Bishon Frise and because she is 'mistake proof' with thick curly hair I will scissor cut her to keep her cooled down in between professional grooming. Her hair grows so fast. With Maltese breeds they are not mistake proof and any slip can ruin the look of your little pet. However, a poodle (if you are not into the fashionable styles) can be clipped. I really suggest you find an affordable professional dog groomer. My dog groomer comes to my home. I bath my dogs the night before and in the morning will brush them being sure all knots are out of them. For my Bishon Frise (about an hours work) and my Cockapoo (1/2 hour) with anal glands extracted and nails clipped it costs me $55. That's a great steal. Look around for Mobile Grooming Services. Be sure they have credentials. You won't regret it! It's easier on your dogs and more convenient for you and much cheaper.

What kind of food do teacup poodles eat?

Teacup poodles will eat standard dog food. Dry of wet. It depends on your preference as well as the teacup poodle. As a rule of thumb, a well known and recommend brand of food is usually best. Always check the ingredients as a lot of "meat flavoured" food does not contain much meat, only around 6% which is extremely low. If you come across this, try a different brand of food which is slightly more expensive. Myself, I feed my poodles Nature diet and it's extremely "safe" in the sense that it does not contain any known allergens so it limits the chance of your dog having a reaction. It is also not expensive and you can usually purchase it from more reputable pet stores.

Also, as its a teacup you will need to feed him or her small portions several times a day. I am not certain of the portion size as I have miniatures and not teacups. But your Vet or Veterinary Nurse or a reputable pet store will be able to advise you on portion size.

I hope this helped. :-)

Are pet groomers supposed to trim the ears on poodles?

*It depends on how you want your poodle groomed. If you want them to look like the show dogs, then yes, their ears should be groomed. If you just want them as a pet and easy to care for you can have the groomer shape them anyway you want them. I own a Bichon Frize and they have very thick tight curly white hair close to their body. They are actually suppose to have a powder puff face, but my husband and I go camping and do a lot of things with our dog, so I have my groomer sheer her like a sheep (Bichons can get very hot with their coat) and leave her ears on the longer side instead of too short. If you aren't happy with the way your groomer is grooming your poodle then get a picture and show her and tell her that's how you want you dog groomed.

Do toy poodles bark a lot?

Toy breeds, all toy breeds, tend to be a bit high strung. They are typically a bit sensitive to changes in environment and anything new introduced to that environment, even as simple as new sounds. The one way any dog will react if stimulated, say by new environmental factors, is to bark. This is how they communicate (one way, the primary way) and they will do so to alert their alpha (typically you) to potential danger or strangeness.

Toys are also easily excitable. This seems to be one of the reasons that those who own toys choose them. We, like dogs, relate to those around us, and we thrive on attention from them. Dog owners fill some of that need for connection by the relationship they have with their dogs.

In short, the animal will take its cues from the owner and the training they have received, but they will also be driven by their own personality and demeanor. Most toys tend toward hyperactivity, so yes, they do tend to be a bit more vocal and "bark a lot."
