For anyone who has never owned a little male, you do not know what you are missing out on at Hoffman’s Toy Poodles Nursery. If we didn’t need both sexes to get a litter, we would only have little male poodles in Texas. They are the sweetest puppies!

This is why we think little boys are the greatest!

Does a male or a female make a better pet for you and your family?

It’s not uncommon for people to believe that a female dog will make a better pet. We get a lot of emails from people wanting those “special little girl” poodles for sale in Dallas. For whatever reason, they don’t think that females will exhibit “alpha” behaviors like humping and/or marking. A lot of people think that females are more passive and friendly and that they don’t take part in fighting over dominance, which could NOT be farther from the truth. Most fighting will usually break out between two females. Males tend to be more affectionate, exuberant, attentive, and even more demanding of attention. The male poodles in Texas are very attached to their owners, tending to be more dedicated, reliable, and less temperamental. They are more sociable, more accepting of other pets, playful for years, and take quicker to children. Most boys are easily motivated by treats/food, and words of praise and are so eager to please that training actually becomes easier. Their playful nature, however, can make males more easily distracted. The boys are more likely to act silly and more puppy-like, always wanting to play games, no matter what their age. The boys are fun-loving until the day they die, whereas girls tend to be more standoffish and dignified the older they get. Neutered males rarely exhibit secondary sexual behavior, such as marking and lifting their legs or humping. Once the testosterone levels recede after neutering, most of these behaviors will disappear if they ever existed. Boys who were neutered early (by five to six months of age) usually don’t ever raise their legs to urinate. So before making your decision on that age-old dilemma of male versus female, hopefully, this will give you some helpful info to think about.

Welcome to Hoffman’s Toy Poodles Nursery…..

Here are a few things to know about our puppies.

We don’t wean our puppies, but let the mom tell us when she is tired of them. We feed them Diamond Natural Small & Medium Breed Puppy food because it is all natural with no wheat, soy, or corn. We add Bella Chicken or Lil Cesar grilled chicken, making sure to moisten the kibble and coat it evenly with the wet food. A sample of food as well as a toy with mom & littermate scent on it is given when a puppy is ready to leave for his/her new home.

Once the puppies are weaned, they are transferred to a larger playpen, Hoffman’s Toy Poodles Nursery, which is made by Iris. This allows them to interact with our adults and see them playing but keeps them safe until they are old enough to run throughout our home with them. We do not have kennels any longer since we only have 5-6 breeding females at any time. Food & water is always available for them. Please read our page, Teacup Info, for information on Hypoglycemia and what you should do if you show signs of it.

We worm our puppies at 2, 4, & 6 weeks, and at 7 weeks., they are given Ponazuril for any trace of Coccidiosis. They receive their first vaccination at 7 weeks. Of age, another one is given at 10 weeks if they are still here with us.

Our Toy Poodle Puppies for Sale are sold with APR registration or AKC limited registration papers unless they are sold w/o papers. A personal check is ok provided it has time to clear, usually 5-7 days. We prefer cash for the balance when you pick up your puppy. Photos are taken at 2, 4, and 6 weeks. Additional ones are taken only if a puppy is still available. It takes time to make sure a puppy is groomed and ready for their photo shoot. Deposits ($500) are taken usually when a puppy is usually 2 weeks old. It is old and needs to be sent (address shown on our contract pg) to us using USPS PRIORITY MAIL with a tracking number so that a puppy can be held. I cannot hold a puppy w/o a tracking number, so if someone else uses Zelle on the puppy you want, you have missed out.

This is a link that we use to estimate a puppy’s size as an adult. Unless a puppy is over 12 weeks old, it’s impossible to know what size they will be. That is why we use this chart as an ESTIMATED size.
