Questions & Answers
Poodles belong to the non-sporting, or "toy" class of dog. They come in a variety of sizes, the most popular being the standard poodle, which is usually over 15 inches at the shoulder. Poodles are smart and trainable, and they are prized for their intelligence, graceful movements, and fluffy coats. Along with agility and obedience, poodles also excel in many canine sports, such as dock diving and conformation shows.
Poodles have a unique coat that sets them apart from other breeds of dogs. Typically, the coat of a poodle is made up of tight curls or waves, which can range in length depending on the specific clip and cut that are desired. The coat of a poodle should be brushed weekly to prevent matting and should be trimmed every 6-8 weeks to maintain the desired look of the coat. While the coat does not shed often, it does require regular maintenance to keep it in Tip-Top shape.

A variety of vegetables and fruits can be added for vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Pay attention to the ingredients list as well; quality ingredients mean a healthier diet. Talk to your vet about what food should be given and how much each day.
Before bringing home a new Poodle, there are several things you can do to prepare your home for their arrival. It’s important to create a space where they can feel relaxed and secure. This starts by making sure your home is puppy-proofed by blocking off any electrical cords and small or sharp objects. You should also have a comfortable, safe space set up for your Poodle to sleep. Having their bedding, toys, food, and water nearby will make them feel right at home.
Poodles can range in size depending on the type. Standard Poodles are typically the largest, usually between 15-22 inches tall at the shoulder and 45-90 pounds. Miniature Poodles are usually 11-15 inches tall and 15-30 pounds, while Toy Poodles are the smallest size and weigh from 4-6 pounds and are typically 10 inches tall or shorter. Poodle hybrids are bred to conditions different traits, giving rise to a variety of sizes in between these three general groupings.
Poodles need regular exercise to remain healthy and happy. They can benefit from both mental and physical activity. This includes daily walks and playtime. It is recommended that poodles get around an hour of exercise each day, either inside or outside. It is also important to break up the exercise into several shorter intervals, taking several breaks throughout the day. Not only does this help to keep their energy level up, but it also provides your pup with the necessary physical and mental stimulation they need.
Poodles are a wonderfully loyal and gentle breed of dog that typically get on very well with children. They are highly intelligent and can be trained to follow commands, which helps to keep them and the children safe. With that said, poodles will get along with kids best if they have been properly socialized with both humans and other animals from an early age and are used to a routine of regular, positive reinforcement.
It will depend on the age and abilities of your individual Poodle. Younger, more active Poodles may need 45-60 minutes of daily exercise, while less active or more mature Poodles may need about 30-45 minutes of activity. Combining physical exercise with mental stimulation and training is important for all dogs, so 10-15 minutes per day of obedience training or agility would be beneficial. Of course the amount of exercise can vary depending on weather, health, and other factors.
