Questions & Answers
Poodles are often thought of as prissy, high-maintenance dogs but they are actually incredibly intelligent and trainable companions. Their intelligence can be harnessed to make them an ideal service or companion animal, and with proper training they can become a loving and loyal friend. Poodles are also incredibly brave and fearless guardians, and are considered to be one of the best breeds for obedience sports and agility tests. They also have a natural capacity for swimming, making them great candidates for water rescue and therapy work.
Poodles are commonly considered to be a breed that is hypoallergenic, meaning they produce fewer allergens than many other breeds of dogs. The amount of shedding among Poodles also helps to reduce allergens as they typically have minimal shedding. Poodles come in three sizes Standard, Miniature, and Toy and each size tends to have the same hypoallergenic qualities.
Poodles should not be given human food including salty snacks, chocolate, candy and fries; these items can cause digestive issues, for example, an upset stomach. Additionally, inedible objects, such as rocks, are also dangerous for Poodles. Additionally, bones from fish, poultry, and other animals are also dangerous and can lead to an obstructed intestinal tract should the bone become lodged. The safest bet is to only give your Poodle dog food that is specifically formulated for them as it contains the necessary nutrients for optimum health.
Yes, Poodles have special requirements. Poodles require consistent grooming and regular professional haircuts. Because of their unique coat they need to be brushed or combed regularly in order to avoid matting and clumping. They also need professional haircuts once or twice a year, depending on their age and breed. A healthy diet is also important to maintain their energy levels and they need to get enough exercise to stay healthy and fit. Poodles also need mental stimulation, so it's important to provide them with interactive toys and activities that stimulate their minds.
Poodles come in a variety of sizes: Standard (over 15 inches tall and more than 45 pounds); Miniature/Toy (11 inches or less in height and up to 15 pounds); and Teacup (less than 10 inches in height and under 6 pounds). Each size has its own distinct look and personality. Standard Poodles are typically elegant in appearance and very intelligent, while Miniature/Toy Poodles are popular for their convenient size and loving nature. Teacup Poodles are quite small and require special care, but can be very loyal.
Poodles actually love to swim! With their coats and body conformation, they are actually very good swimmers and can swim for long distances with ease. Their origins trace back to being retriever dogs, having been used to hunt ducks and birds centuries ago. This natural ability to swim makes them great companions for aquatic activities and a fun-loving addition to the family. In addition, swimming on a regular basis can improve their stamina, strength, flexibility, and coordination.
Generally, Poodles are an excellent family pet. They are known to get along very well with children, so long as they have been properly socialized and trained. Due to their intelligence and easily trainable nature, Poodles make an outstanding playmate for children of all ages. These active and social dogs thrive on attention and interaction, so playing and learning new tricks with your children will bring great joy to your Poodle. Poodles also tend to be patient and gentle, making them even more ideal for households with small children.
