🐶 Puppy Profile: Poopy the Teacup Poodle

📌 General Information
• Breed: Teacup Poodle (a smaller version of the Toy Poodle)
• Age: 10 weeks old
• Sex: Male
• Name: Poopy

🧬 Temperament & Personality

Teacup Poodles are known for being:
• Affectionate & Loving 💕 – Poopy will likely bond closely with you, wanting to follow you everywhere.
• Intelligent & Trainable 🧠 – Even at 10 weeks, he’s capable of learning simple commands like “sit” and “come.”
• Playful but Fragile 🎾 – He’ll love little games, but rough play can hurt him. Always supervise playtime.
• Alert & Curious 👀 – Poodles are naturally watchful; Poopy may bark when he hears new sounds or meets strangers.
• Sociable 🐾 – With early socialization, he’ll get along well with people and possibly other small pets.

🍽 Feeding & Care Needs (10 Weeks Old)
• Diet: High-quality puppy kibble or wet food designed for toy breeds.
• Feeding Schedule: 4 small meals per day (teacup puppies are prone to low blood sugar / hypoglycemia).
• Water: Fresh, always available.
• Supplements: Some owners add a little Nutri-Cal or honey-water if the pup seems weak/shaky.

🛠 Training & Development
• Potty Training: At this stage, Poopy is just learning. Crate training or pee pads are recommended.
• Basic Obedience: He can start learning his name, “sit,” and “stay.” Keep training sessions very short (2–3 min).
• Socialization: Introduce him gently to different sounds, surfaces, and safe people to build confidence.

❤ Health & Safety
• Vet Care: He should have had at least 1 set of puppy shots by now, with more to come at 12 and 16 weeks.
• Fragility: Handle gently! Jumps or falls from couches/beds can seriously injure him.
• Hypoglycemia Watch: If Poopy becomes weak, shaky, or unresponsive → give a bit of honey/corn syrup and contact a vet.
• Teething: Expect chewing soon. Provide soft, safe chew toys.
