Questions & Answers
Poodles are an intelligent and loyal breed of dog that come in 3 sizes: Standard, Miniature and Toy. They are known for their curly coat, and their coat can be groomed into a variety of shapes and styles. Though they originated in Germany, they were bred to be water retrievers, are particularly well-suited for swimming and are actually considered to be the second best breed of water retriever after the Portuguese Water Dog! They are also good watch dogs, often barking at strangers who approach their home.
Poodles are generally non-shedding, although some seasonal light shedding can occur depending on the individual. However, regular grooming can help reduce the amount of shedding. Poodles are suited for people with allergies as their loose curls help maintain their fur, preventing it from flying into the air and sticking to cloths or furniture. Poodles may require more grooming than other breeds due to their long hair, though their low-maintenance coat is easily controllable with weekly brushing.
Poodles should avoid food items that are high in fat, salt, and sugar. Foods such as onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins are toxic to canines and should never be fed to Poodles. Chocolate can also be dangerous to Poodles, as the caffeinated substance can cause potential heart issues. It is best to stick with formulated dog food that is specifically designed for the breed. Human food should be a special offering once in awhile, and be sure to avoid items that could cause potential digestive issues or other health concerns.
Poodles do have some special requirements to take into consideration. As a breed, they tend to have a lot of energy and require regular exercise and mental stimulation. It is recommended to groom them consistently in order to keep their coat in good condition. Furthermore, regular veterinary visits are important to make sure their health is in optimum condition. Poodles may also benefit from attending obedience training classes as they are a very intelligent breed and thrive in structured environments. Specialized diets such as those that are formulated for their size and age may help to ensure that they receive the necessary nutrients and vitamins they need.
It is difficult to determine with certainty how big your Poodle puppy will be, as a number of factors can affect its future size. For example, genetics play an important role in determining size, as well as the pup's diet, exercise, and health. Generally speaking, a fully mature Poodle can range in size from toy (under 10 pounds) to standard (over 15 inches at the shoulder). To get a better idea of your pup's future size, it is best to look at the size of the parents for an overall indication.
While there is no definitive answer as to how many minutes you should walk your Poodle each day, you should aim to walk your pup at least once for 30 minutes each day. Thirty minutes is the minimum, but you can certainly walk your pup longer if you have the time. Additionally, it may also be a good idea to include multiple shorter walks within a day, depending on the breed and age of your Poodle. By breaking up the walk into multiple short walks, your pup will be more active throughout the day and won't become bored walking the same route multiple times.
Generally, Poodles get along with kids very well! Poodles are known for being highly intelligent and energetic, as well as obedient, which makes them a great companion for children of all ages. Poodles also have a warm and loving personality, which makes them appealing to kids and makes them special family pets. As with all breeds of animals, the behavior of a Poodle will ultimately depend on the way it was raised.
Training a Poodle takes patience, practice, and dedication. The best place to start is to establish a healthy bond with your pup. Begin with basic commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Encourage your pup to follow your commands with treats and positive reinforcement. Second, be consistent with your pup; try to stick to the same schedule as much as possible. Lastly, socialize your pup to help them become confident and trusting of other animals and humans.
