Questions & Answers
Poodles are often mistaken for originating from France but are actually a German breed. In fact, the word 'poodle' is derived from the German 'pudel' which means 'to splash in water'. They are the national dog of France, however, and are highly intelligent, so it makes sense why these spirited pups have been chosen as a mascot for many of the country's top competitors in various sports. One of their most unique characteristics is their signature curly coat, which not only looks stylish but serves a purpose as well.
Poodles do not inherently cause allergies, however they do produce dander which can be an allergen. All dogs have dander, but it can be more of an issue for poodles as their fur can spread it in the environment. People can still be allergic to other allergens in the environment like dust or pollen, and having a pet can increase your exposure, but it is important to note that the pet itself is not usually the cause of the allergy.
Poodles should not be fed raw, undercooked, or uncooked meats, egg, or fish. All meats and other animal-based products should be thoroughly cooked before feeding to your Poodle. But aside from that, they should also avoid foods that contain simple sugars, like candy, cakes, and cookies. Simple sugars cause insulin spikes that can lead to pancreatitis in dogs and other illnesses. Grapes, currants, raisins, onions, garlic, and chives are also on the no-no list too because they can be toxic.
Being a responsible puppy parent to your Poodle requires patience, dedication, and a commitment to providing them with quality care and attention. Begin by providing your Poodle with a safe, comfortable, and healthy environment to live in. Make sure to supply them with proper nutrition, necessary veterinary care, and appropriate grooming. Spend as much time as you can playing with your pup and training them. Establish a good set of house rules and boundaries, and reward good behavior to help strengthen your bond. Be aware of their development and understand the best ways to positively interact and communicate with your pup.
Poodles are classified into three sizes depending on height. Standard Poodles measure 15 inches or more at the shoulder and can weigh anywhere from 45 to 70 pounds. Miniature Poodles measure 11 inches to 15 inches at the shoulder and weigh about 15 to 17 pounds. Toy Poodles measure 10 inches or less and weigh 4 to 6 pounds. Regardless of the size of the Poodle, their life span is generally between 10 and 20 years. They are very active dogs and require regular exercise, no matter what size they are.
Poodles are a moderately active breed, and they require a moderate amount of exercise within their daily routine. Depending on the size of the dog, agility exercises and a daily walk are sufficient. Standard and large poodles should be walked a minimum of two times daily for a total of 30-60 minutes, during which the dog can interact with its surrounding environment and explore. Toy Poodles, however, should only be walked once a day. Additionally, Poodles of all sizes benefit from agility exercises such as running, fetching, and obstacle courses.
Poodle breeds can be great for first-time owners because of their intelligence, loyalty, and adaptability. Specifically, Standard Poodles and Miniature Poodles are well-regarded family dogs. They are easy to train and housebreaking is generally quite straightforward. Poodles require regular brushing and grooming and do need a fair amount of exercise, which may pose challenges for first-time owners. But if you are willing and able to commit to their needs, the breed can be a great addition to the family.
Yes, Poodles are considered to be a very smart breed of dog. They are well-known for their intelligence and their ability to learn new commands and tricks quickly. Poodles have a good memory and are willing to obey their owners when trained using positive reinforcement. They can also be very eager to please and will do their best to keep their owners happy and interested. In addition to being intelligent, Poodles have an independent streak which can make them prone to less-than-ideal behavior if not properly trained.
