A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STANDARD POODLE
Contrary to popular belief...Poodles are NOT wimpy, sissy dogs! It is believed
that they originated in Germany, they were (and still are) used as hunting dogs.
They are a retriever and the poodle clips were designed to protect vital organs
and keep their joints warm when they enter the cold water to retrieve the bird.
People who have allergies to dogs or cats can usually own a poodle without
difficulties because...poodles have hair not fur, they do not shed and are
hypoallergenic. They do not have a doggy odor or doggy dander.
Because the hair grows year round they do require regular grooming. They
should be bathed regularly and clipped every 6 to 8 weeks. The ears should be
checked for mites and the ear hair pulled as needed. Most poodle owners keep
their poodle in a pet clip which is very easily taken care of.
The Standard Poodle is a proud, elegant, good natured dog. They are one of
the most intelligent and trainable breeds. It has been said that the poodles
ability to think and solve problems is the closest to a human than any other
breed. They love to be with people, are excellent with children and get along
with other dogs and animals.
The Standard Poodle is not demanding as far as exercise goes, as long as they
get a daily walk in. They should however, be given regular opportunities to run
and play off the leash in a safe area. If sufficiently exercised they do great in
apartment living.
