Questions & Answers
Poodles are recognized for their intelligence and obedience, making them a popular choice for families and individuals of all ages. They come in many sizes, with Toy, Miniature, and Standard being the three most common. Known to have a long life expectancy, they can live up to 15 years. Poodles will require frequent grooming, as their hair grows quickly and needs to be trimmed regularly. While they are active and incredibly playful, they do not require a large amount of exercise and can be happy in a small home.
Poodles are often thought to be non-shedding dogs or hypoallergenic, but that is not necessarily the case. While poodles do not shed much, they do lose some hair. Depending on the type of poodle and its coat quality, some may shed more than others. Poodles have a beautiful and varied coat, which can range from a low-shedding hypoallergenic kind to one with a thicker, fluffier texture that will shed more often.
Yes, Poodles do have special dietary needs. Like all breeds, their dietary needs are specific to their size, age, and breed. Smaller dogs require higher levels of calories, while larger dogs might require fewer calories with higher protein content. As a breed, Poodles typically require high-quality dog food, as their diet helps reduce allergies and skin problems. Additionally, it's important to keep watch for any potential weight gain as Poodles tend to put on extra pounds easily.
Preparing your home for a new Poodle involves providing plenty of love and attention, a comfortable and safe place to sleep, toys and activities to keep your pup entertained, and a secure space to roam in. Make sure your pet has a way to relieve themselves, such as taking them outside regularly or setting up a litter box. You should also create an area free of hazards, with secured electrical cords, dangerous plants, and other items your pup might chew on. Additionally, provide plenty of toys to help keep them entertained and destructively chew on the right things.
Many people consider Poodles to be big dogs, and while they aren't as large as breeds such as Saint Bernards, some Poodle varieties are quite large. Standard Poodles, for example, typically stand around 15 inches in height and weigh upwards of 45 pounds. Miniature Poodles can weigh even more, topping off at around 15 pounds. Even Toy Poodles are considered to be larger than some other, more 'pocket-sized' breeds, averaging between 4 and 6 pounds.
It is important to give your Poodle ample exercise every day. A good guideline is to provide your Poodle with between 20 to 45 minutes of walking per day. During this walk, you should focus on giving your pup plenty of opportunities to socialize with other canines, explore the world, and do some basic training. While the amount of walking will depend on your Poodle's age and stamina, generally Poodles do well with at least 30 minutes of exercise every day.
Poodles are typically very friendly and affectionate dogs, making them an excellent choice for households with children. Due to their high intelligence, Poodles can be easily trained, which further makes them great with kids. Poodles are also agile and energetic, so they are willing to play and engage with the small ones in the house. As they have a long life expectancy, they are also capable of forming long-term bonds with kids, providing stability and love throughout much of their childhood.
Training a Poodle is a great way to give your pup the best start in life. The key to successful training is consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Begin by teaching your pup basic commands like 'come', 'sit', 'stay', 'leave it' and 'drop' in an area without many distractions. Reward them with small treats for completing the commands correctly. Once the commands are mastered, you can move on to more complex ones. Also, be sure to give your pup plenty of exercise. This will help to tire them out as well as provide mental stimulation.
