Questions & Answers
A Poodle is a popular dog breed dating back to the 15th century. Poodles have distinctive wiry, curly hair and a “non-shedding” coat. This breed is known for its intelligence, making them highly regarded as a family companion. Poodles come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy (the smallest variety). The breed is highly adaptable and often used in agility and obedience competitions. Poodles have a reputation for enjoying activities that show off their intelligence, such as tricks and puzzles.
Poodles are often referred to as "non-shedding" because while they do shed some fur, it is much less than that of other breeds. Furthermore, their fur tends to be more tightly curled, giving it the appearance that it is not being shed at all. However, they should be groomed regularly and thoroughly in order to maintain healthy skin and coat. Fortunately, the Poodle's coat is very easy to care for and they don't require much grooming in order to keep their coat looking great.
Poodles are an intelligent breed of dog who require a well-balanced and nutritious diet for optimal health. Poodles typically require between 1⁄2 to 1 cup of dry food each day, depending on their age, size, and activity level. For optimal nutrition, Poodles should be fed a high-quality diet that contains a variety of meats (e.g. poultry, beef, fish etc.), vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
Preparing your home for your new Poodle can often seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be! Start by researching the breed and familiarizing yourself with its needs. Make sure your home is pet-safe by doing thorough sweeps for potential hazards, such as cords and wires, poisonous plants, and items small enough for them to swallow. Setup a designated area for your pup to sleep, with either an open crate, puppy bed, or comfy blankets. Create a safe and comfortable outdoor space for your pup to use the bathroom. Supply toys to help keep your pup active and engaged.
Poodles vary in size depending on which type you have Standard Poodles can reach heights up to 15 inches, Miniature Poodles stand up to 10 inches tall, and Toy Poodles measure up to 10 inches in height. That said, they are neither considered a small or a large breed, and would be considered a medium-sized dog. As with all breeds, their size can very significantly, depending on the parent lineage, genetics, and overall health.
Poodles are an energetic and active breed and they need quite a bit of exercise to stay healthy and in shape. On average, a Poodle should have around two to three 40 minute walks each day. Mental stimulation is also important since they are intelligent, so participation in dog sports such as agility and obedience or playtime with interactive toys is recommended. Other activities like giving a Poodle a job such as herding, pulling a cart or training are all good ideas. It's important to remember that excess exercise, especially young puppies, can cause harm and health issues.
Poodles, known for their intelligence and friendly personalities, typically get along quite well with other pets. With proper socialization and training, Poodles learn to interact peacefully and happily with cats, small dogs, and pets of many sizes and shapes. It is important to keep in mind that just like people, different dogs have different personalities, which can affect their interactions with other animals. If introducing a new pet to your Poodle, it is important to provide close supervision to ensure interactions are calm and everyone is getting along.
Poodles are seen as one of the smarter breeds of dogs. With their inquisitive nature and eagerness to please their human owners, poodles are known for displaying intuitive qualities that other breeds struggle to match. As a breed, they require a hefty amount of mental stimulation in order to excel, and are often easy to train because of this. Poodles are known to excel at activities such as retrieving, agility, obedience, bullying, and even truffle hunting. They are adept problem solvers, and can remember and recognize a variety of commands.
