Questions & Answers
Poodles are among the oldest and most popular dog breeds. Fun facts about this breed include their distinctive haircuts – because they were originally bred as water retrievers, their curly fur was important so that it did not slow them down during dives into water. In addition, they are known as the second smartest breed after the Border Collie and are incredibly agile and graceful. Poodles also come in three different sizes – standard, miniature, and toy – and their coats can come in a variety of colors including black, white, brown, and apricot.
It is possible that Poodles may cause you to have allergies, as all breeds of dogs can. However, the extent to which a Poodle causes any particular person to experience allergies will vary from person to person. Poodles, while they are considered hypoallergenic, have been known to cause reactions in some individuals who are sensitive to allergens such as pet dander and dog saliva. If you are at risk of developing allergies, it is important to consider any potential triggers before bringing a Poodle into your home.
Poodles are sensitive to certain foods and should therefore not be fed anything unhealthy for them to digest, such as rawhide chips, spoiled meat, or anything containing chocolate or caffeine. Prepackaged, processed dog treats should also be avoided if possible, as they are often high in sugar, fat, and salt, and could contribute to obesity if given in excessive quantity. Additionally, it is important to avoid feeding Poodles human foods such as onions, grapes, and raisins as these can be dangerous and even toxic to the breed.
Preparing your home for a new Poodle involves more than simply buying food and a collar. To give your pup the best start in life, make sure your home is safe and comfortable. Give your pup a designated area with plenty of space for toys, water, and food. Create a potty area outside and use a leash to guide your pup to the spot when necessary. Stimulating and engaging toys are also essential to serve physical and mental needs. Soft bedding is important to ensure your pup gets a restful night's sleep.
Poodle puppies can range anywhere from 2-15 pounds in adulthood, depending on whether they are a Standard, Miniature, or Toy variety. A puppy's size, however, is not entirely determined until they reach maturity. Generally, Standard Poodles are the largest of the varieties, and will weigh 40-70 pounds as adults. Whereas a Miniature or Toy will weigh 15-20 pounds as adults. Additionally, the diet and exercise that the puppy receives as they grow will affect the final size of the dog.
Poodles are smart, energetic dogs, and they usually need plenty of both physical and mental exercise each day. Depending on their size, breed, and age, Poodles need between 1 and 2 hours of exercise daily. This can include activities such as brisk walking, playing interactive games and fetch, or swimming. If your Poodle is young and active, multiple exercise sessions throughout the day may be needed. Exercise is key in maintaining a Poodle's health and mood, so be sure to provide plenty of opportunities for them to move and explore.
Poodles can make wonderful family companions for families with children. As a generally friendly breed, Poodles are gentle and patient with children, as well as protective and loyal. Poodles do require plenty of mental stimulation and exercise, which children can actually help provide. With proper training, socialisation, and supervision, Poodles can form strong bonds and playmates for children, which can provide fulfilment to both the child and the dog.
Training your Poodle should be an enjoyable and regular experience for both of you. Depending on how much time you have available, it is recommended that you spend a minimum of 20-30 minutes per day on training. However, if you can, you should aim to spend at least 45-50 minutes a day. Training time will vary depending on how many commands you want your Poodle to learn. If your goal is to teach your Poodle basic commands, such as sit, stay, come, and heel, then 20-30 minutes each day should be plenty.
