Distinguishing Purebred Teddy Breed Puppies: Key Featur
Section 1: How to Choose a Purebred Teddy Bear Dog
1. Teddy Bear dogs, also known as Poodles, come in a variety of colors, including white, gray, apricot, cream, and black. The coloration can vary across different parts of the body, with the fur on the ears often being darker and the chest area lighter. In the United States, breeders often use different colored Poodles to produce a range of colored show dogs. Among these breeds, gray Poodles are considered the most valuable, and as the popularity of colored Poodles grows, so does their price. This is primarily due to market demand and supply. Currently, the most affordable Teddy Bear dog is the whitecolored variety.
2. Poodles are known for their high intelligence, ranking second among all dog breeds, just behind Border Collies. When it comes to puppies, Poodles are at the top of the intelligence scale. This makes them a highly trainable and intelligent companion.
3. On average, Poodles have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years, with some living even longer with proper care. The typical lifespan for wellcaredfor Poodles is around 14 to 17 years, making them one of the longerlived breeds.
Section 2: Distinguishing between Teddy Bear Dogs and Poodles
1. First, it's important to understand the logical relationship between Poodles and Teddy Bear dogs. Poodles refer to the dog breed, while Teddy Bear refers to a specific grooming style. This is contrasted with dog grooming, which involves different styling methods such as Continental, English saddle, and sports styles.
2. In dog shows, Teddy Bear Poodles are required to have a round face, which means that Poodles kept in this style typically have shorter, rounder mouths compared to the AKC standard. This gives them a teddy bearlike appearance, but it's worth noting that this style can result in deductions at standard competitions like the AKC.
