Questions & Answers
Poodles are known for their intelligence, gentleness and loyal personalities, but there are some fun facts about them too! They come in three sizes (standard, miniature, toy) and four coat colors (white, black, apricot, and gray). These versatile dogs can be seen competing in agility, herding, and conformation events as well as Obedience and Rally. Poodles don’t just look stylish, they came meet the standards for service and/or hunting that makes them eligible for official recognition by the AKC.
Poodles are generally considered hypoallergenic dogs, meaning that they are less likely to trigger allergic reactions in people than other breeds. However, all dogs can cause an allergic reaction in some people, which is why it is important to do research and understand the breed before you decide to bring one into your home. The best way to determine if the Poodle is suitable is to spend time with the breed and contact your doctor, as they can help assess your individual situation. By doing this, you can better determine if you are at risk of an allergic reaction to the breed.
Poodles are highly active, intelligent, and sensitive dogs, and they require a premium dog food with plenty of natural ingredients to meet their nutritional needs. Some of our favorites are Holistic Select Grain-Free Pate Recipe for Small & Mini Adult Dogs and Nulo Freestyle Limited+ Grain-Free Salmon & Peas Recipe. Both of these recipes are high in protein, made with real ingredients, and provide wholesome nutrition for your poodle. Additionally, holistic recipes often come with probiotics to aid in digestion, and limited ingredients to avoid allergies.
Prior to welcoming your new Poodle into your home, it is important to be prepared. Ensuring that your home is a safe and comfortable environment for your pup is the first step. Gather all the necessary supplies to have on hand such as food, treats, a leash and collar, bedding, and toys. Research the breed to understand what to expect during housebreaking, grooming, and training. Additionally, it is important for you to schedule a visit to the vet shortly after bringing your new pup home to ensure they are healthy and up to date on all vaccinations.
Poodles can be classified as big or small dogs depending on the specific breed. Standard Poodles, for example, are considered larger dogs, standing between 15-22 inches and weighing between 40-70 pounds. Toy Poodles, on the other hand, are much smaller, standing around 10 inches with a weight of 4-6 pounds. Miniature Poodles, which stand between 10-15 inches, also fall closer to the smaller size range. Ultimately, it depends on the type of breed, as this will affect the size of the dog.
Yes, Poodles do enjoy swimming. They usually take to the water quite easily and may even pick up the water play faster than other breeds. Poodles love to be in the water and are confident swimmers, usually with calm and graceful movements. Not only is swimming great for exercise, it also helps them maintain their beautiful, thick coats. Swimming is a comfortable activity for poodles, so you should expect to see their tails wagging during their times spent in the pool.
Poodles can make great pets for first-time owners, but it's important to make sure you are prepared to properly care for them. They are active dogs who need regular exercise and mental stimulation, so being able to provide an appropriate amount of time and attention is key. Additionally, it's important to know that poodles may require a certain level of grooming and may require special dietary needs, so researching ahead of time is necessary. Lastly, being familiar with the breed can be helpful to ensure you are obtaining the poodle that best fits your lifestyle and expectations.
The amount of training a poodle needs can vary depending on their needs and age. Generally speaking, for adult poodles, 15 minutes a day is typically sufficient for basic commands and leash walking. However, if you want to compete in agility or other advanced obedience activities, or if your poodle is a puppy, then you may need to spend closer to 30-45 minutes per day training. If your poodle is a service dog, you should expect to dedicate an hour or more each day for their training.
