Questions & Answers
Poodles are truly amazing dogs! They are one of the smartest and most trainable breeds, ranking second after the Border Collie. Poodles have a double-layered coat, which determines the type of poodle. They come in four sizes, Toy, Miniature, Standard, and the recently recognized Royal Standard Poodle which is over 15 inches tall. The name Poodle originates from the German word ‘Pudel’, which means to splash in water. This likely refers to the breed’s original purpose as a hunting companion.
Poodles have beautiful, intelligent coats that come in various colors and textures. Their coats are long, silky and may hang down to their feet. They have a lot of body and volume, particularly in the tail and legs. Poodles have a waterproof single-coat that doesn't need frequent grooming, although regular brushing and combing is generally recommended. With a good trim, poodles can have a gorgeous wavy look to their coat.
Yes, Poodles can have special dietary needs, depending on a variety of factors such as age, activity level, and health conditions. For example, puppies tend to require smaller, more frequent meals since their energy needs are higher. Adult and senior Poodles may need food that is easier to digest, low in fat and rich in omega 3s since they are less active. In addition, depending on the amount of activity and the type of coat, their protein, fat, and carbohydrate requirements may differ from those of a standard dog diet.
Preparing for a new Poodle involves a few important steps. First, ensure your home is ready for the new pet. Make sure there are no potentially hazardous items that the dog may be able to access and any potentially dangerous plants, chemicals or foods are securely stored and out of reach. Rooms that your Poodle will be allowed to explore and furniture that it can lounge on should also be considered. Second, gather the necessary supplies. Including items such as food and water bowls, a collar, leash, and pet bed. Finally, educate yourself on Poodle breeds and their specific care needs.
Poodles come in four sizes: Standard, Miniature, Toy, and Teacup. Standard Poodles are the largest of the four sizes and typically range between 15 to 22 inches in height and weigh between 40 and 70 pounds. Miniature Poodles are the second largest size of Poodle and range in size between 10 to 15 inches high and weigh between 12 to 17 pounds. The Toy Poodle is the third size of Poodle and falls between 8 to 10 inches high and weighs 6 to 9 pounds.
Depending on the Poodle's age, breed, and health, you should aim to have them walk between 20 and 30 minutes per day, split up into multiple sessions. For puppies, you should begin with shorter, easier walks and help them build up stamina over time. If your Poodle is older and experienced or an active breed, you may be able to walk them for longer durations. Stick to even surfaces and monitor their breaths, body language, and overall behavior during the walk to ensure they are not over-exerting themselves.
Poodles make fabulous family dogs! These intelligent and loyal breeds bond rapidly with owners and children, making them excellent companions. They are happy in small apartments or to accompany their human companions on hikes or active events. Poodles are fun-loving and lively yet still have an even temperament and can be trusted around little (or big) kids. Poodles don't require a ton of exercise and do not need a large yard, so they make great city dogs as well. They learn quickly so training is relatively easy compared to other breeds.

Besides their great intelligence, Poodles are also known to be obedient and quick learners.
