How long/far does your Toy Poodle like to walk?

I've mostly owned Labs in my life, and know very well that they LOVE to get out for walks and can literally go all day, and will have a huge grin on their face the whole time.

Now I've got a Toy Poodle and I'm wondering what I should be anticipating from him.

Now, are all you Standard owners rolling on the floor laughing? you are, aren't you? :tongue:

Sammy would like to point out that it's -21 celsius at the moment (yes, the sun's already up) and wants to know if he REALLY has to go out, ha ha... Maybe we'll try tomorrow

When Sammy first came to live with us (2 1/2 weeks ago), he was 7 1/2 weeks old and it was about -15 C, but out we'd go to the backyard for him to do his business, all 2 1/4 lbs of him. He'd he shivering, but he'd go REALLY fast, we'd scoop him up, tuck him inside our coats and take him back inside...of course more than a dozen times a day. He got used to it in a few days though, no longer shivers, and even likes to stay out a bit a play in the snow.

He's a hearty little Canadian.

Actually, I've wondered if training him in the winter hasn't actually been a bonus. He gets out there and gets 'er done immediately, no goofing around.

I'm loving these walking stories.
