When you hear of tiny toy poodles for sale, the first thing on your mind is probably not how long it will take to train and care for a dog. It is probably more along the lines of "how cute"! You shouldn't get all caught up in the cuteness, though. There is a lot more to taking care of a dog than you would imagine. It takes quite a bit of time and patience to create an ideal pet.
If you have lots of time and the ability to give a lot of attention to a new pet, a puppy might be right for you. There is a lot of work in raising a dog, though, and if you don't consider how it will affect the animal, you may be better off with something else. House breaking, obedience training and play time should be considered as well as the fact that dogs are a social animal that requires attention.
Without the time that is needed for a dog, perhaps you should consider a cat. Cats are much more independent than dogs and don't require the attention that dogs do. Most will take to a litter box relatively quickly and easily. They are quite good as companions without being as needy as a dog is.
If you don't have an assertive attitude with your dog, its pack mentality can lead it to think that it is the alpha animal in a social group. This will lead to a dog that is pushy and demanding. Often, owners don't understand why their dog is constantly barking. Sometimes this is because the dog is bossy, it's as simple as that.
Small dogs should also be considered as more of an inside animal. A lot of dog owners keep their dogs outside. The more acclimated for this life a dog is, the better it will do. Many small dog breeds are bred specifically for companionship and not for the outdoors. If you are just going to let the dog stay in the yard, you should pass.
Small dogs can often become prey items for larger predators. Birds of prey will take small dogs as food at any opportunity that presents itself. Other large dogs can kill them as well. It only takes a small amount of rough housing from a Lab or a St. Bernard to damage a small dog. Housing them indoors and away from other animals is ideal.
The safety of a small dog can be easy to guarantee if you adhere to a few simple rules. Keep them under supervision while outdoors. Use an assertive but friendly attitude while training them. You must also feed them appropriately to avoid digestive or weight problems.
"Tiny toy poodles for sale" can be too tempting a thing to turn down. Think about what you are getting into, though, before you go out and buy one. If you have lots of time and effort to spend, a dog can be great. Other animals can be considered though. Cats and small mammals can make great pets. Cold blooded reptiles and amphibians might be the way to go too, as they are low maintenance and easy to take care of.
