Questions & Answers
Poodles have an interesting line of history and interesting facts. First off, the breed originated in Germany in the 15th century and they were originally used as retrievers and sheep herders. It is believed that the name 'Poodle' was derived from the old German 'Pudel,' which means 'to splash in the water.' Poodles are considered to be one of the oldest of all breeds. Another fun fact is that when the breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in the late 19th century, it was the first breed from which all varieties were born.
Poodles can be considered hypoallergenic because their coats typically produce fewer allergens than other breeds. Allergens are triggered by protein found in an animal's saliva, skin cells, and urine. While Poodles, like all dogs, have some of these proteins in their coats, they don't shed like other breeds, which reduces the amount of airborne allergens. Additionally, their curly coats trap fewer allergens because their hair isn’t easily shed.
Poodles are highly intelligent and require an ingestion of high-quality, nutrient-rich food to remain healthy. A diet filled with lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbs is essential for a Poodle's overall well-being. It's best to look for a small breed formula that emphasizes omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Additionally, it's important to include supplements that promote joint health, as Poodles are a commonly prone to joint issues. Furthermore, Poodles may benefit from probiotics which help to produce a strong immune system and improve digestion.
Before getting a Poodle, you should consider buying necessary items like a dog bed, collar and leash, food and water bowls, quality grooming supplies, and dog toys. Additionally, it is important to make sure that your home is safe for a puppy that you have gated off potentially dangerous areas and put away anything that they may chew on. It is also highly recommended that you invest in routine veterinary care such as heartworm and flea prevention, and regular check-ups with your veterinarian.
Poodles are often thought of as small-to-medium size dogs, but that can depend on the specific variety, as there are several different sizes of Poodle. Toy Poodles and Miniature Poodles are usually considered to be small breeds, usually weighing between 5 and 10 pounds, and standing between 10 and 15 inches tall. On the other hand, Standard Poodles, which are the largest breed of Poodle, can grow to be quite large and weigh anywhere from 45 to 70 pounds, with males being larger than females.
Absolutely! Taking your Poodle running can be a great physical and mental exercise. First and foremost, you'll want to make sure that your Poodle is healthy enough for running by consulting with your veterinarian. After getting a healthy bill of health from your vet, it can be beneficial to begin with shorter runs to start. Making sure you stick to a path and provide plenty of water is also important. Additionally, you'll want to get a harness and use a leash that is comfortable for your pup. As your pup adjusts to running, you can gradually increase the distance.

They also have plenty of energy; so, they can match kids' enthusiasm for outdoor activities like running around or playing fetch.

The answer to how many minutes per day you need to train Poodles varies greatly and is largely dependent on several factors, such as your Poodle's age, aptitude, and the type(s) of training you wish to give him/her. Generally speaking, experts recommend that adult dogs receive at least 30 minutes per day of training, while puppies should get an average of 15 minutes to start. As the Poodle becomes more advanced in his/her training, the amount of time per day you invest should increase accordingly.
