Toy Foodle

The Toy Foodle, also known as the Foxipoo, is a designer hybrid mix of a Toy Fox Terrier and a Poodle that is not only aesthetically pleasing (also known as adorable), but has a fantastic all-around temperament and is highly adaptable to a wide variety of living situations -- especially since they are also considered hypoallergenic. Because both parent breeds are well-tempered, Foodles generally inherit the best of both worlds, meaning they are inherently good with other dogs, children, and other non-canine animals, especially if they receive thorough training and socialization. They may be a bit wary of strangers but that usually translates into either barking as a warning, or avoiding them altogether. They are especially affectionate, loving, and playful and appreciate being around their families as much as possible. They are a relatively easy to train breed, thus making a decent first dog for inexperienced owners and due to their size, are not only easy to handle, but are better equipped for smaller living spaces such as apartments, as their space requirements for exercise are smaller than that of other full-sized dogs. They may, however, be a bit yappy if they don't receive proper training or exercise, although their barks generally don't carry as much as larger dogs and are therefore a bit less disruptive. Even though they are small, they still have pretty high exercise requirements, so those who are not active or do not have reasonable access to a place to do so may not be the best fit. Otherwise, given their good temperaments, small size and receptiveness to training, they make great companions for most families.
