Summary
About Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles are the smallest Poodles, square and elegant with dense, curly, low‑shedding coats needing regular grooming. Lively, sensitive and highly trainable, they form close bonds, suit active indoor lifestyles, and, with good care, often live 14–16 years or more.
About Fila Brasileiro
Large Brazilian mastiff bred for guarding and big‑game hunting. Massive, agile, with loose skin and short coat. Deeply loyal and gentle with family but wary of strangers. Needs experienced, confident handling, careful socialisation, space, and steady, structured training.
