Questions & Answers
Poodles are classified as a non-sporting group dog breed. They originate from Germany and come in three sizes (standard, miniature, and toy) and many coat colors and variations. Standard poodles are the oldest breed and are the tallest variety, standing at 15 inches or more. Miniature poodles are 14 inches tall or under, while toy poodles are 10 inches and under at the highest point of the shoulder. All sizes have the characteristic curly coat that requires brushing and combing to prevent matting.
Poodles are often considered hypoallergenic, however, it is important to note that all dogs, regardless of breed, have the potential to cause allergies. These allergies may be caused by anything from their fur, saliva, dander, or urine. Therefore, it is important to be aware of your own potential sensitivities when considering whether or not to purchase a poodle. Before bringing a poodle into your home, it is important to consider potential environmental allergies, too, such as pollen.
Poodles are a special breed, and so their dietary needs can vary. Generally, they should be given a diet of high-quality, well-balanced food that contains lean proteins and complex carbohydrates. Food specifically formulated for poodles is best, as it takes into consideration their size, energy needs, and nutritional sensitivity. It is also important to remember to pick food that your poodle will find appetizing, as forcing them to eat food they do not like can lead to picky eating habits.
Before getting a Poodle, there are several essential items to invest in. A sturdy leash and collar are necessary for daily walks and outings. Food and water bowls are needed to ensure your pup can eat and drink easily. Grooming supplies are another essential this breed has a lot of fur which requires frequent brushing and trimming. Toys are important for both exercise and mental stimulation. Finally, bedding and a crate will become homey spaces where your pup can sleep and relax. With all these items, you'll have everything you need to prepare for a new Poodle.
Poodles are commonly regarded as small dogs. On average, Standard Poodles have a shoulder height of 15 inches and weigh between 45-70 pounds, while Toy Poodles typically measure under 10 inches tall and weigh 4-6 pounds. Miniature Poodles normally stand 11-15 inches tall and weigh around 15-17 pounds, making them a mid-sized breed.

Yes, you can take your Poodle running! However, the type of running you should do with your Poodle depends on their age and fitness level. If your Poodle is a senior, you may want to opt for more leisurely activities, such as a slow walk or short jog. If your Poodle is young and in good health, then a short jog could be a good option. When your Poodle is out for a run, be sure to use a properly-fitted and safe harness and leash.
Poodles can get along very well with kids! They are incredibly smart and loyal, so they may take a bit of extra training to instill proper behavior; however, with consistency and patience, they can be a wonderful companion. Poodles tend to have steady temperaments with enough energy to keep up with active children, while being gentle and kind enough to cuddle with them too. Additionally, their intelligence makes them naturally eager to please and a great playmate and best friend for kids.
Training a Poodle can be quite easy if it is done in small steps. This breed of dog is highly intelligent and loves to please, so with attentive and consistent instruction, most Poodles will learn quickly. More involved commands such as not to jump on people or to stay off furniture may take a little longer to teach but are achievable with the right methods. Building a relationship with your Poodle is key to successful training. Taking the time to set up a routine, establish rules and keep both learning and exercise fun are all important steps to create a trusting bond between pet and owner.
