Make sure the breeder has a reputation for breeding purebred toy poodles. Check references and the reputation of the breeder. There are many breeders of toy poodles with great reputations however, there are scammers who will just take a deposit and not correspond over the phone because they have no dogs to sell. They will take a $500 deposit and there goes your money. A good reputable breeder should sell healthy puppies with medical certifications and proper complete health records.

It is essential to consider a few important factors to ensure that the Toy Poodle puppy you get will be healthy and ethically bred. Here are some points to keep in mind as you search for a candidate:
Reputation and Experience
Reviews and References:
- Make a list of potential Toy Poodle breeders and check them out.
- Good breeders always have websites and are often featured on dog trainers’, veterinarian’s, or dog breed club websites.
How Long Have They Been in Business?
Generally speaking, a few years of success breeding Toy Poodles gives a good idea of their understanding of the breed’s health, temperament, and care.
Health Testing
Genetic Testing: There is a family history of progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), patellar luxation, and legg-calvé-perthes disease in Toy Poodles, a disgrace for such a wonderful toy breed dog. We recommend getting both parents screened to increase the odds of pups being free from these diseases.
Health Certifications: The breeder must display health certificates for the parents for OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) and CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation), wherein the parents’ health is practiced to prevent joint and eye health issues.
Breeding Methods
- Selecting parents with guaranteed offspring that will be healthy and have a good temperament:
- Not all breeders are the same.
- Some have more than looks and shows to consider when making puppies.
- Inquire what their aims are when mating the dogs.
Number of Litters: Responsible breeders tend to have few litters in a year to safeguard the health status of the breeding dogs and adequate spacing of puppies.
Housing Facilities
Healthy Environment:
- The breeder’s premises should be large, tidy, and well-kept, where the puppies can grow cleanly.
- There must also be opportunities for the puppies to interact with people and other dogs.
Interaction with Peers:
- Inquire from the breeder how often and in what ways they integrate the puppies into their daily activities.
- If all puppies are correctly exposed to different situations early, they will not experience problems integrating into the new family.
Characters of the Parent Dogs
See the Parents:
- It’s important to see the puppies’ parents to evaluate their temperaments.
- Some breeds of Toy Poodles should be friendly, smart, and bold.
- The parent’s behavior will give you an idea about the puppy’s future behavior when it grows.
Health Guarantee:
- A big encouragement for purchasing is that many reputable dog breeders are happy to offer returning guarantees providing complimentary care or can further assist with any health issues of the dog acquired from the same breed family.
- Great breeders allow quality litters to manage health conditions obtained since they can offer replacement puppies for any existing health concerns.
- Written items, if necessary, should contain all details about the health conditions provided with any existing breed, explaining that the covered period is usually 1-2 years.
However, the effects of basic features should not allow overcharging features during that short period. One should ensure vet papers are available in a legal context. Return Policy:
- Many licensed and good breeders find skipping sales appealing as a last resort.
- Therefore, it is critical to emphasize the return policy if one cannot maintain a puppy, ensuring the dog is not abandoned to live in the basket.
Registration and Pedigree AKC Registration:
- Because foster parents already own children, there is no doubt a high sense of responsibility, love, and caring associated with them.
- Concrete beneficial features include great breeding, high-end quality breeding, and registering familiar and experienced breeders.
- Therefore, dogs should also watch documented puppy parent lineages.
Pedigree Information:
Inquiring about the parents’ pedigrees for puppies intended for show breeding is necessary. If registered, AKC or similar organizations offer pedigree-certified breeders because they typically have high genetic qualities.
Transparency and Communication Willingness to Answer Questions:
- Licensees willing to complete all questions nondisruptively and deftly swiftly on breed cloning, feeding the puppy, and so forth will be reliable.
- Databases can maintain contact with puppies bought abroad or resold within the same country and different countries.
Follow-up Support: Several good dog breeders refuse to sell the dog. For example, after many requests, they can confirm that such a purchase has been the right thing to do. They provide recommendations so the owner does not face any issues as the puppy ages.
Puppy Mills, Avoid: Beware of breeders multiplying dozens of breeds or those with considerable scale systems, as this is a puppy mill. In such cases, there is always a win at the cost of the dog’s health & welfare.
Backyard Breed Dog’s Puppies: Some backyard breeders lack the know-how, funds, or responsible breeding practices to produce healthy puppies.
Interesting Pets, Contract: Reasonably, most dependable breeders will require the new owner of the puppy to sign a contract defining the new owner’s responsibilities, including spaying, caring for a puppy, and so on. The breeder has the right to reclaim the puppy should there be a reasonable need.
Licensing ordinances for Breeders: Certain breeders will have licensing ordinances for Breeders, e.g., home visit, application, and many other such parameters, which guarantee their puppies don’t go to irresponsible owners.
But if you practiced the irresponsible action of finding an ethical breeder who cares about the dogs they raise, you can rest assured that you are being offered a happy, healthy Toy Poodle puppy.
