Hi LindaR, We have both toys and standards. We have 2 toys and 2 standards. Our first was a toy female 1 yr. at the time we brought her home. About a year later we added a standard female, 11 mo. at the time. No probem with them getting along with each other. Our 3rd poodle was a toy pup female that we kept from a litter we had from our first toy, so she's been with us since birth. When this litter of pups were still quite young we got our 4th poodle, a male standard, who was 10 mo. at the time. All of our dogs think of the youngest toy, thats been here since birth as their own baby. They all watch over it, making sure it is ok if it makes any sort of sound that sounds a little off to them, and boy does that little devil take advantage of it. She is the smallest of them all, but thinks that she is the toughest. She picks on all the rest, in a playful way, just to get them to play with her,, chase her, play ball and etc. but if she thinks that things might be getting a little to rough, she gets yippy, and all the others run to see if she is okay. Our standard male "Rocky", is the largest of all 4 poodles, and is a bigger mama to the little toy then her own mama is. Rocky is like a gentle giant, when it comes to that puppy. He can be a real clutz around us at times, but not with his baby. They all get along just fine with each other. They all have their own personalities, they are alot alike, but yet different. If the standards were as fiesty as the toys, they would probably be dangerous, but they seem to know that they cannot do or should not do some of the things that the smaller ones do w/o hurting someone or something. The standards seem to know to be gentler with the toys, but know that they can rough it up with each other. I think that the cuddiness or non cuddle type is just the dog itself, not the size of dog, some like to cuddle, others don't. I think poodles are extremely smart and I love them to pieces.
! But this is just an assumption :lol:
