Questions & Answers
Poodles are one of the oldest of all modern dog breeds, originating in Germany nearly 400 years ago. Their name comes from the German phrase "pudeln" which means "to splash in water". Poodles come in three sizes toy, miniature, and standard and a wide variety of colors and patterns. One of the most notable physical traits of all poodles is their curly, often multicolored coat, which was originally created to help them swim more efficiently.
Poodles are well known for their luxurious and unique coats. A poodle coat consists of tight curls all over its body and is generally found in either solid colors or with multiple contrasting colors like black and white. Their thick double coat is waterproof and odor resistant, which is why you'll often see them in the swimming pool or lake! It's usually clipped in a traditional poodle clip that adds even more distinction to their look.
Poodles are highly active and intelligent dogs that require special dog food to stay healthy. An ideal diet for a poodle should be rich in protein and other nutrients, specifically tailored to their breed and size. When picking a dog food for your poodle, look for products that contain high-quality ingredients specifically designed for the poodle, such as duck meal, natural meat, vegetables, and eggs. When selecting a specific dog food, do some research to make sure it is free from by-products and fillers.
In order to become the best puppy parent for your Poodle, it is important to provide them with routine, structure, and fun! Start by setting regular meal times and providing them with plenty of exercise and play. Establishing rules and boundaries from the start can help your pup develop better habits and a stronger sense of trust in you, so setting up a house-training program and teaching them basic commands is a great start. Finally, Poodles can be quite intelligent so it's important to keep them mentally stimulated.
Yes, Poodles are considered to be small dogs. They can range from standard size toy Poodles to tiny teacup Poodles. Even the largest size, standard Poodle, is still considered to be a small dog when compared to larger breeds such as Labradors and German Shepherds. Poodles typically stand 12-15 inches tall and weigh in the range of 10-70 pounds. Generally, small breed dogs live longer than larger breed dogs and so do Poodles.
Absolutely! Poodles, with their high levels of energy, can make great running partners and can often keep up with even serious runners. When considering whether to take your Poodle running, be sure to consider their size and age as well as the climate and terrain. For example, a smaller, younger dog may not be able to keep a pace that is comfortable for you. When the weather is especially hot or humid, be sure to take frequent breaks and keep a watchful eye for signs of fatigue. Also, some terrain may prove to be too much for your pup.
Generally, Poodles are known to be friendly and good-natured, making them great family pets. However, this alone does not guarantee they will get along with all of your household pets. As with any animal, it is important to ensure that your Poodle is properly socialized with other animals from a young age. Additionally, it is important to give all of your pets plenty of opportunities to get to know each other through supervised interactions, as well as providing them with their own separate space in the home.
Absolutely! Poodles are widely considered to be one of the smartest dog breeds out there. As a working breed, they have been bred to be obedient and learn commands quickly, allowing the poodle to excel in a variety of activities such as agility, obedience, tracking, and water sports. Not only that, but they're also highly reliant on their owners for guidance, creating a dependent and loyal breed. Poodles are so smart that they're often used as service dogs, guide dogs, and even search-and-rescue dogs.
