Poodles are very oriented to pleasing and being around people. I made a mistake by getting 2 toy poodles three weeks apart. couldn't teach them much - they just wanted to play together all the time for 1st 10 yr.s or so. They don't shed and need to be groomed every 4- 6 weeks to look real nice. Every 6-8 weeks is what the grooming shops recommend. Good luck with your Daughter's new puppy.
