Questions & Answers
A Poodle is a breed of dog that is known for its intelligence, available in three sizes (Toy, Miniature, and Standard) and known for its trademark coat of curly, often corded fur. Poodle coats come in solid colors (black, cream, gray, etc.) or a multitude of "parti" colors (splash of color on a white background). The Poodle is an active dog that was originally bred to retrieve game from water, making it a great swimmer and very agile.
Poodles are often thought of as being non-shedding because their coats only require minimal grooming. While this holds true to an extent, it is important to understand that poodles will still shed to a lesser degree than other breeds. As with all breeds, brushing the coat regularly and bathing them periodically is recommended to help reduce shedding. Additionally, the different types of poodles can influence how much they shed, with the Toy, Miniature, and Standard Poodles (in that order) having different levels of shedding.
Poodles are intelligent, active, and social dogs that deserve a nutritious diet to fuel their active lifestyles. The best option for your Poodle is to feed them a high-quality dry dog food that is specially formulated for small breeds. Be sure to select an age-appropriate food that best fits the nutritional needs of your Poodle. Avoid food with low-quality ingredients, artificial additives such as dyes, and anything that contains" fillers" like wheat, corn, or soy.
Preparing for a new Poodle is an exciting experience that requires careful consideration. Before bringing your new pup home, you should ensure that you have the necessary supplies such as food, treats, bowls for food and water, a crate, and toys. You'll also want to research any laws in your area related to pet owners. Many areas require all animals to be updated on vaccinations and to possess a license. Additionally, you should select a veterinarian for annual checkups and any other medical care needs in the future. Having a vet lined up ensures that your pup stays healthy.
Poodles come in four sizes: Standard, Miniature, Toy, and Teacup. The Standard Poodle stands over 15 inches tall and is the original size of the breed. Standard Poodles weigh between 45 and 70 pounds. The Miniature Poodle stands 11 to 15 inches tall and typically weighs between 15 and 17 pounds. The Toy Poodle stands 10 inches or under, and weighs between 6 and 9 pounds. The Teacup Poodle is 4 to 6 pounds and stands 5 to 10 inches tall.
Absolutely! Taking your Poodle running is a great way to help keep them healthy and happy. Before hitting the open road with your pup, you'll want to get clearance from your vet to make sure your pup is up for the challenge. Additionally, you'll want to be sure that you know techniques for running with a canine companion, especially with a Poodle who may require specific training or a company that provides running assistance.
Poodles make wonderful companions for kids of all ages. They are highly intelligent and loving dogs that can provide lifelong friendship and fun. Poodles are loyal, affectionate, and gentle, making them an excellent choice for families looking for a pup that can bond with both the kids and adults. Poodles are also naturally hypoallergenic and have hair, rather than fur, meaning their coat is much less likely to trigger allergies. They are also generally not aggressive and can be trained easily, teaching kids important responsibilities such as caring for a pet and proper obedience.
Absolutely! Poodles are incredibly intelligent and may even be one of the most intelligent dog breeds. A Poodle's agility, responsiveness, and eagerness to learn and please make them one of the most trainable breeds. With patient guidance and positive reinforcement, Poodles can learn a variety of commands and tricks and can easily compete in obedience, agility, tracking, field trials, and conformation events. Their high levels of intelligence and willingness to learn have garnered them quite a reputation and some would argue they are one of the most capable and smartest breeds out there.
