Questions & Answers
Poodles are thought to have originated in Germany, dating back to the 1500s. They were originally bred as water-retrievers for hunters and were quite popular with the nobility due to their intelligence and non-shedding coats. Poodles often rank as one of the most intelligent dogs and are extremely trainable. Although they come in three sizes (Standard, Miniature, and Toy), all Poodles are the same breed. In France, the Poodle's known as "Caniche", which translates to "duckdog".
Poodles typically do not shed a lot of hair, however, this does not mean that they are completely non-shedding. While their coats are considered hypoallergenic, some hair can easily still be found on furniture, floors, and other surfaces near your Poodle. To help keep Poodles from shedding, it is important to have them groomed regularly and properly bathe them often. Additionally, brushing them regularly will help you maintain their coats and keep any shedding down. Proper nutrition can also play an important role in this as well.
Yes, Poodles do have special dietary needs. As with all breeds, their nutrition should be tailored to their specific size, lifestyle and health needs. Feeding Poodles the right quantity and type of food is essential for their long-term health and wellbeing. Poodles have been known to become overweight if overfed so you should be familiar with their caloric needs and feed them only the recommended portion size for their age and activity level. Generally Poodles should be given high-quality dry kibble as part of a balanced diet that also includes fresh fruits, vegetables and cooked proteins.
While waiting for your Poodle, start preparing to be the best puppy parent you can be. Brush up on the basics of canine care, including diet and exercise, grooming, crate training and more. Engage in conversations with other puppy parents and dog professionals and read trusted books and magazine articles. Make sure you have all the puppy supplies needed and create a training plan. Spend quality time interacting with your pup and establishing a routine that is fun and consistent. Help your pup become accustomed to people as well as other animals, and don't forget to provide ample mental and physical stimulation.
Poodles are often linked to the iconic French pom-pom style haircut, but they come in a wide range of sizes. From the Teacup to the Standard, Poodles are a great option for pet owners of all lifestyles. The Teacup Poodle ranges from 4 6 pounds, while the Toy Poodle stands at 6 9 pounds. The Miniature Poodle is the most popular of the sizes at a mid-size range of 10 15 pounds.
Every dog is different and will have their own individual exercise needs, but generally speaking, Poodles should get at least 30-60 minutes of daily exercise. Depending on the age and health of your Poodle, you should tailor exercise and activity according to your particular dog's needs. Elderly, arthritic, or overweight Poodles should have gentler daily walks, while younger, more active Poodles will need more vigorous activity and focusing on mental stimulation.
Poodles can make great family pets as they have a friendly, easygoing temperament, and they are usually great with kids. With proper socialization and training, these intelligent and sociable dogs can develop a special bond with children. Poodles are patient, loyal, and eager to please, so their ability to cooperate with the youngest members of the family often makes them a top choice for a family dog. Additionally, the American Kennel Club ranks the Poodle as one of the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason, making them an excellent option for families and children.
Training your Poodle is no easy task, but with consistent and dedicated effort, it is possible! Begin by socializing them and exposing them to various experiences that they can encounter in their daily lives. You can start by teaching them basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, and come. Be sure to reward them with praise and treats whenever they perform the commands correctly, as positive reinforcement is essential for successful training. Additionally, try to focus and challenge them by engaging them in basic agility drills such as jumping through a hula hoop, walking over different types of surfaces, and navigating around obstacles.
