Poodle and Teddy are the same kind of dog

Teddy is a darker color and smaller poodle. In fact, there is no such breed as Teddy. Teddy is just a poodle. The name of one of the many grooming looks for dogs. But as the style of Teddy became popular, people gradually started calling some VIPs Teddy. Teddy generally refers to some small VIPs with darker hair color and cute appearance. Some people call it Teddy VIP, which is just a hype of some pet shops.

The origin of the name Teddy

The Teddy dog ​​is actually a poodle, and the Teddy dog ​​is also a trimmed shape of the poodle. The origin of the Poodle is France. In the past, it was used as a bird hunting dog. Because the hair of the Poodle often caught on the branches when hunting, people cut the hair of the Poodle. This is also the origin of pet grooming. Poodles do not shave their muzzle hair and are trimmed by pet groomers into a shape that resembles a teddy bear, hence the name Teddy.

What kind of VIP can be called Teddy

Only a VIP that can be trimmed into a teddy bear style and looks as cute as a bear toy can be called Teddy, so when purchasing , it is best for the dog to meet the following requirements:
1. The VIP is small in size, basically no more than 8 pounds, so that it can be picked up easily. Of course, some owners like larger cubs, but in principle it should not exceed 38 centimeters, otherwise the guest will look like a bear instead of a cub.
2. The VIP’s hair should be sufficient and the curl should be good. Generally, when we buy a dog, we will ask for a good amount of hair. The hair should be small and curly, similar to sheep cake velvet.
3. The poodle’s mouth should not be too long and should be small, so that when the hair is left in the future, It will look like a small ball. Of course, already purchased dogs with slightly longer mouths can also be modified by trimming.
4. Dark colors are preferred. Red and chocolate are good, but because the price is currently high, black or apricot are also good choices. This actually involves personal preference, but it needs to be reminded that a white Poodle with long muzzle hair will be more like a Bichon Frize.
