Questions & Answers
Poodles are one of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world, rivaled only by a few other breeds. They are also a highly trainable and active breed, often participating in agility and other similar activities. One of the biggest misconceptions about Poodles is that they are a high-maintenance breed – in fact, they only require minimal grooming and are considered hypoallergenic. Poodles originated from Germany and are the national dog of France. Their name comes from the German word "pudel" meaning to splash or puddle.
Yes, Poodles are non-shedding dogs; their hair grows continuously like human hair and does not shed like most other breeds. This makes them an ideal pet for those who suffer from allergies, as they do not release dander or other irritants into the air. Poodles' coats require a lot of maintenance, however; to keep their hair shiny and free from knots, it needs to be clipped regularly or professionally groomed every six to eight weeks. Regular brushing and trimming is also necessary, preferably every day.
Poodles should not be fed any chocolate, grapes, raisins, garlic, onions, or any other type of human food as these foods can cause health issues. They should also not be fed raw meat, bones, or bone meal; these items could cause them to choke or become ill. Additionally, Poodles should not be given high-sugar snacks or food items that contain a lot of sugar, as this can lead to diabetes in dogs. Finally, it is important not to overfeed Poodles, as this can lead to obesity and put strain on their joints.
To prepare your home for your new Poodle, you should focus on puppy-proofing the space before they arrive. This includes moving any breakable objects off the floor and ensuring that cords and other items that could pose a choking hazard are not accessible. If you have children, your entire family can practice appropriate behaviors around puppies, such as avoiding sudden movements or loud noises so that the puppy feels secure. Additionally, you should purchase all of the necessary supplies, such as food, water, toys, and a bed before your new pet arrives.
Poodles come in four sizes: Standard, Miniature, Toy, and Teacup. Standard Poodles are the largest, ranging from 15 inches to over 20 inches in height and weighing between 45 and 70 pounds. Miniature Poodles are between 11 and 15 inches in height and weigh about 15 pounds. Toy Poodles, as the name implies, are very small, typically growing to a maximum of 10 inches in height and ranging from 4 to 6 pounds in weight.
Poodles are known for their liveliness and activity level, and by all accounts, they make excellent exercise companions. While Poodles may not have the same level of energy as other popular breeds, they are very loving and have a ton of energy that they could easily use for long walks, running, and playing with the family. With the right amount of daily exercise, Poodles can remain active and healthy and they have the potential to stay spry several years into adulthood.
Poodles can have a friendly relationship with other household pets, though they may require some gradual socialization and training. Generally speaking, Poodles are people-oriented and may show some irritability when it comes to sharing human attention with other pets, and some may even be possessive of their pet parents. But with some patience and consistency, Poodles can usually establish positive relationships with other cats, dogs, and other animals living under the same roof.
Training Poodles can be a challenging process. It depends on the age of the dog, the level of training they have already received, and the behaviors you are aiming to teach them. Generally, you should plan to devote anywhere from 10-60 minutes per day to training your Poodle. This may include basic commands such as sit, stay, and come, as well as activities to teach them about proper leash manners. When introducing new commands or skills, proceed slowly, and stop before they become bored or overly frustrated.
