Questions & Answers
Poodles are the oldest of all dog breeds, originating in Germany and first appearing in artwork during the 15th century. These adorable and highly intelligent dogs come in three different sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy. The Standard Poodle is considered the original breed and stands as tall as 15 inches at the shoulder. Poodles are said to be the second smartest breed of dog and are easy to train, requiring a patient but firm hand. They also have a unique coat which can be distinguished by its matted curls and comes in a variety of colors and textures.
Poodles are a low-shedding breed of dog, making them a popular choice for those who are allergic to pet dander or who don't enjoy dealing with pet hair. The American Poodle Club notes that Poodles have a "single, dense, non-shedding coat of varied textures" and should only require occasional brushing and monthly bathing to stay healthy and attractive.
Yes, Poodles do have special dietary needs. First and foremost, these dogs require a high-quality diet specifically tailored to their size, breed, and activity level. Poodles need more protein and fat than most other breeds because their metabolism is higher. It's also important to note that Poodles can be prone to allergies, so it is recommended to avoid foods with potential allergens, particularly grains and artificial ingredients. Feeding wet food and avoiding dry and processed kibbles can help avoid intolerances and digestive issues.
Before getting a Poodle, it's important to properly prepare so you and your pup can get off to a great start. Ideally, you should set up a designated space for your pup, such as a dog bed, crate, and/or play area with toys. Gather supplies, such as food and treats, grooming items, and a collar with identification tags. It's also recommended to locate a trustworthy veterinarian and remain up-to-date with your pup's vaccines and appointments. Additionally, set aside time for training your pup so they understand obedience commands and proper behaviors.
Poodles come in a few distinct sizes as breed standards are used by the American Kennel Club. Toy Poodles are typically 10 inches or under at the shoulder, Miniature Poodles measure in at 11 to 15 inches, and Standard Poodles typically measure at 15 inches or more at the shoulder. In recent years, the "Teacup" size has been promoted as a fourth, even smaller variety; however, because they are far smaller and characterized by numerous health issues, they are not recognized as an official size by any breed clubs, including the AKC.
Poodles are intelligent, active dogs that need lots of stimulation and exercise. On average, they require up to an hour of exercise a day, divided into two or more sessions. This could include a brisk, long walk, energetic playtime, or a game of fetch, both indoors and outdoors. Swimming is also a great exercise for Poodles, as it works many muscle groups but doesn't stress the joints. Additionally, agility and obedience training classes, as well as nose games, help to provide mental stimulation.
Yes, Poodles make great companions for children. They're generally very friendly, patient and easy to train, making them an ideal pet for children. Additionally, they're hypoallergenic, meaning they're unlikely to cause allergic reactions, giving parents peace of mind. With proper socialization, Poodles will develop a relationship with their human family, enjoying playing with their kids of all ages. They are smart, intuitive, and eager to please, making them almost always up for a game or a cuddle.
Properly training your Poodle takes patience and dedication, and it’s important to get started as soon as possible! It is best to be consistent and make sure you are rewarding good behaviors to help reinforce the basics. You’ll want to start with simple tasks like “sit”, “stay”, and “come”. Be sure you reward your pup for completing the task, as well as consistently provide cues and verbal praise throughout the training. As he or she masters the basics, add more advanced commands and even agility exercises.
