Does this look like a toy poodle to you?
This is our “toy” poodle Siam as hoisted aloft by our yaya, who is quite big-boned herself (don’t tell her I said that!). So for Siam to dwarf her hefty proportions is saying a lot. So like our yaya, our dog seems to have some weight issues. Siam is supposed to be a toy poodle, which by definition means it’s the smallest of the 3 poodle breeds. There’s the Standard Poodle (which is as big as a Retriever), the Miniature Poodle (which is the mid-sized version) and the Toy Poodle, which is supposed to be tiny. When we got Siam, he was this tiny bundle of wool, like a lost little lamb looking forlornly for his Bo Peep. He practically fit in one hand. Then, as the days pass, he started growing at a rate that really scared me. For a while there I seriously thought we got ourselves a Standard Poodle. But our trusty vet assured me that Siam is most likely not a Standard Poodle, but he isn’t a Toy Poodle either. It’s safe to say that he’s a Miniature Poodle, with a final size that’s probably a bit smaller than a Beagle.
These photos were taken about a month ago, so you can imagine how big he’s gotten since. As of last weighing, he was 10 pounds, which is not really that heavy, but he’s huge for a 4-month old puppy. He’s much lighter than his size would betray. As for my problems with Siam, I would have to reserve that for a separate post. Siam has been a major life lesson for me. I thought I was just getting a dog, I didn’t know that I was getting much more than I bargained for. For now, I just wanted to share how my Toy Poodle is so not one.
Oh no! Haha your doggy is soooo cute Chico! I have a beagle. He’s 1 and a half now, and he weighs like 15 KILOS. And he’s not fat either, it’s all muscle and a tiny bit of fat, but man can he make your knees buckle when you pick him up! Hehe =D good luck with your extra large toy poodle!
i think its all hair..hehe. so kyot. akin ka na lang siam..wahihihihi
his fur was more wavy/curly before. and he is BIIIIG now!!!
i find it cute and bizarre at the same time, that your toy poodles’ color changed from gray to beige(i guess)?! i have two poodles as well, one is white and one is black that turned to a gray-ish color when she grew older…hehe
i actually saw you & delle & another cute guy with siam a couple weeks ago. it’s not that big but very cute nonetheless!
Mine’s a half-breed…half dog, half pig. Seriously, I know she’s a beagle-black lab mix, but she behaves like a dog half the time, and like a pig the other half of the time.
whoa! siam’s grown big! i thought this one’s a different dog at first, cause i remember the picture you have posted a few months back that he’s gray. pinakita ko sa officemate ko, bat daw naiba yung kulay. sabi ko baka napaliguan lang? hahaha!
he’s cute nonetheless =)
