Typically toy poodles have an average 15 year life span.
However, I've known some that get over 20 years old, and others that didn't see 10.
No one can say for sure. Key thing is to make sure the dog is well cared for, gets their routine shots and vet check ups, proper nutrition, and a lot of love and affection from you. No matter how many years he's lives, make sure they are the best they can be and enjoy them while you can.

Hi Jacqui, I am going through the exact same with with my 10 1/2 month old. Im trying the CIO method and it is working well. The first night he cried for 40 minutes which was agony, but we got through it. Im a little unsure of what to suggest with the throwing up. I havent really experienced that, however I do like pinkjet's suggestion. I wanted to mostly write and let you know that I totally understand where you are coming from and to give you a little moral support considering most of your answers were a bit iffy. After reading all of these answers, Im starting to remember why I stopped coming on this. There are too many sad, nasty, awful and ill-informed people!

It really depends on the dog, but a small dog like that should live at least 15 years, probably longer.
You can help to ensure your dog lives a long, happy and healthy life by taking him to the vet at least once a year for regular check ups, keeping him up to date on vaccines, on heartworm and flea prevention, keeping his TEETH clean and feeding a high quality diet. ALSO, research has shown that dogs who are kept thin live on average 3 years longer than dogs who are allowed to become overweight.
Enjoy your pup. Dogs are awesome.

No one really knows. Just feed it and care for it as much as you are able to. Toy Poodles can live from five to 10 years so it really depends

Toy poodles are funny looking. Take care of him and he'll last a good twelve years.

Small breeds if healthy, usually live well into their teens.
