Questions & Answers
Poodles are a very recognizable and popular breed of dog, belonging to the AKC Toy Group. They come in three distinct varieties Standard, Miniature and Toy and all three have the same general characteristics. Their most distinguishable feature is their unique, curly coat which is ideally clipped into show-style trims. Bare in mind, while poodles are often thought of as a single breed, there are subtle differences between the three varieties.
The Poodle coat is often described as having a luxuriously soft texture and a unique curl pattern. These dogs actually come in three varieties: Toy, Miniature, and Standard, and each version will have its own coat length depending on which size and type you choose. Generally speaking, there may be shorter hair around the face area, the back of the legs, and even their tail, but then it's medium-length or a bit longer around the body, especially when groomed into a more show-type look.
Poodles should not be fed human food such as desserts and salty snacks, as this can be unhealthy for the animal. Additionally, Poodles should not consume raw meats, eggs, or fish, as these can contain salmonella bacteria. Poodles should also avoid bones and other items that can splinter as this can be potentially hazardous. Additionally, it's important to avoid giving the animal chocolate, sweets, and foods and beverages containing caffeine as they can all be toxic for the pet. Instead, give your dog specific Poodle-appropriate food based on your veterinarian's advice.
Before getting a Poodle, it is a good idea to make sure you have all the essentials you need to provide the best care for your new pup. You should purchase a good quality food, a water bowl, a comfortable bed, chew toys, grooming items, a sturdy leash, and puppy-safe toys. Additionally, it is important to get a proper-sized crate to help with housebreaking and containing the pup when you are away.
The size of your Poodle puppy will depend on what type of Poodle you get. Standard Poodles tend to be larger than miniature and toy Poodles and usually weigh between 45-70 pounds, while mini and toy Poodles typically range between 7-15 pounds. All sizes are determined by height, with the taller the poodle being the larger the size. As your pup grows, you'll be able to see if he aligns with the typical size for his particular breed.
Yes, the average poodle loves to swim! With the correct instruction and guidance, they can be introduced to the water at any age. This breed enjoys swimming because of their waterproof coat and webbed feet. Additionally, poodles have a keen curiosity about the world around them and their playfulness makes them want to look around, even in the water. Swimming can also facilitate mental and physical exercise, so it is common to see a poodle enjoy the activity.
Poodles are a great breed for families with children, as they are friendly, loyal, and intelligent dogs. With proper training and socialization, Poodles can quickly become a valued member of the family. Poodles are not prone to aggressiveness, making them a great choice for a home with children. It's also worth noting that Poodles require a moderate amount of exercise to stay healthy and happy, so spending time outside playing or running around together can be a great way for kids and poodles to bond.
Poodles can be an excellent breed to train, but it all depends on the individual dog and the patience of the trainer. Generally speaking, they are one of the most intelligent breeds and they respond very well to positive reinforcement training. Poodles are eager to please their owners and with consistent, positive reinforcement they can learn obedience, behavior, and new tricks quickly. The key is to start training with simple commands and progress to more complex ones over time. With a consistent and patient approach, training a Poodle can be rewarding and enjoyable.
