Questions & Answers
Poodles are one of the oldest dog breeds, with their ancestry tracing back to Germany during the 15th century. They were popular with French royalty and were originally bred as water retrievers. They come in many sizes, with Toy Poodles being the smallest and Standard Poodles being the largest. As far as intelligence, these dogs rank in the top 10 of all breeds, making them great family pets. Additionally, poodles are able to learn up to 200 commands and tricks. Unlike other breeds, poodles have webbed feet, which makes them strong swimmers.
Poodles are a popular breed among owners looking for a hypoallergenic or non-shedding dog. Poodle breeders will point to the characteristic curly coat as a signifier of non-shedding qualities; however, it is not a guarantee of such. Depending on the genetics of the Poodle and the care regimen given to them, some may still drop a brush-like amount of fur in the home. That being said, Poodles typically have minimal shedding tendencies and can reduce the amount of allergens in the home in comparison to other dog breeds.
Poodles are generally very health-conscious dogs, so it is important to know which foods they should and should not eat. A good rule of thumb is to stick with high-quality dry and wet foods specially formulated for poodles, avoiding foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt. Additionally, do not give Poodles any table scraps or processed human food. Be mindful of feeding poodles certain foods, such as grapes, onions, raisins, chocolate, which can be toxic to dogs.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for a Poodle requires planning, patience and dedication. Start by doing research on the Poodle's breed so you can make sure to provide the proper care, nutrition and exercise that your new pup will need. Make sure you have all the necessary supplies, such as food, a bed, toys and a collar. Also, check with your vet to ensure you have all the correct vaccinations to keep your pet healthy and safe. Develop a daily routine for your new puppy, including playtime, potty breaks and training.
Poodles come in three sizes: standard, miniature, and toy. Standard Poodles are the largest of the three sizes and range in height from 15 to 24 inches at the shoulder and weigh anywhere from 40 to 70 pounds. Miniature Poodles usually range in height from 10 to 15 inches and weigh anywhere from 10 to 15 pounds, while Toy Poodles stand between 10 and 12 inches tall and weigh only 4 to 6 pounds. Generally speaking, the farther back a Poodle is from its original Water Retriever roots, the smaller their size.
Poodles are among the most active of all dog breeds, making them an ideal companion for active households. Having originated centuries ago as a working water retriever, they remain quite active and enjoy plenty of play, exercise, and mental stimulation. They excel in agility and show-jumping, as well as a wide variety of dog sports and activities. Since they're so eager to please, Poodles are also highly trainable and well-suited for canine performance sports.
Poodles tend to be friendly dogs and can get along well with children, particularly if they are socialized at an early age. However, if left unsupervised, they may become possessive of the child and may become aggressive if another child tries to take their attention away. It is best to always supervise interactions between any pet and a young child and to teach even young children about proper respect and boundaries when interacting with animals. Owners should give their poodle plenty of attention to help them to stay balanced and should set clear rules, such as no jumping up or barking for attention.
The amount of time you should dedicate to training Poodles each day really depends on your specific goals. If you are looking to compete in shows, then you will likely need to spend an hour or more each day training your pup on various commands and activities. On the other hand, if you just want a well-behaved dog, then 20-30 minutes a day is probably enough. Additionally, it is important to break down the training into multiple short sessions throughout the day, rather than one long session.
