well it's sad if that is true. they are a very common breed. i take my poodle to the vet. its true, toys and minis have tartar problems. molli had severe tartar when she was only 11 months old, so i brush her teeth daily and give her a greenie.

and her puppy teeth hasn't fallen out yet, (she's over a year) so she has to get them pulled the same time as her spay.
