The phrase denotes the availability of canines of a specific breed, color, and size category for purchase. Specifically, it references a small poodle, typically standing under 10 inches tall at the shoulder, possessing a coat characterized by a diluted black pigment, resulting in a grey or “silver” appearance. The essence lies in a commercial transaction involving these particular animals.
Acquiring such a dog offers companionship and potentially participation in canine sports. The breed is known for its intelligence and hypoallergenic coat, which minimizes allergic reactions in some individuals. Historically, poodles originated in Germany as water retrievers, later becoming popular in France as companion animals. Their “toy” size represents a more recent development, bred for their diminutive stature and suitability as lap dogs.
