E N D
Introduction • Poodles are very affectionate and if they are loved in their home they will return it many-fold. • They are clever and because of this, they are easy to train. • The downside is if you don’t give them direction and establish yourself as the boss, they can just as easily develop bad habits as good ones. • There is only one breed of a poodle, but there are three sizes. • Here are the top 10 Things You Should Know Before Owning a Poodle.
Poodles Are Considered Hypoallergenic If you would like to have a dog as a companion but can’t stand the allergic reaction you always get around dogs, a poodle may be for you. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology reports that as many as 10% of the people in the U. S. are allergic to dogs. While no dog is 100 percent hypoallergenic, the poodle comes close.
What’s it Like Living With Poodle Poodles are prone to separation anxiety. You should seriously consider this if you plan to be away most of the day. If they start to feel anxious, they may exhibit unruly behavior and barking, which can destroy your house and disturb the neighbors. They need frequent interaction, which is one reason they make such good dogs for disabled persons. They understand they are needed and this makes them happy. In addition, a disabled person may be less likely to ever leave them alone.
Poodles Like to Play a Lot Poodles are high on the list of playful dogs. They will take every advantage of the slightest chance they can get a game going. This may sound like a lot of fun and be a great characteristic, and if you have children who are ready to fulfill this need, go for it. However, you need to be realistic about the amount of fetch and tag you want to play every day.
Poodle Comes in Three Size There is one breed standard for all three sizes, including standard, miniature and toy poodles. Standard poodles should be more than 15 inches at the shoulder. Miniature poodles should be 15 inches or less and toy poodles are just 10 inches at the shoulder. All three have the same physical proportions and personality characteristics. Poodles make good show dogs because they love to be the center of attention and show that they can obey and perform on point. Miniature poodles were very popular as circus performers.
Poodles Are Superior Work Dogs Poodles remain attentive to their humans outside the home in public situations. They help their owners in doing some tasks. Poodles were originally bred as hunters and have retained their eager and athletic abilities. They are very versatile and fulfill many roles in the working world of dogs.
Poodles Have Health Issues Poodles have one of the longest life spans of any dog breed and may easily live for 16 – 18 years. It is important to understand that owning a poodle may be a long-term commitment. If you aren’t sure that you can make this commitment, you may want to consider a different breed of dog that has a much shorter average life span.
Poodles Have Many Hairstyles The typical poodle hair cutthat has become almost a fashion statement for elegance in a dog was not designed by a hair stylist. It has a very practical origin story that was intended to make the hunting dog fast and agile in the water as well as protected from the icy cold. The puffs of hair that look so cute are actually well placed on the joints to protect them from the cold water. The upper torso also has its share of fluffy hair to protect vital organs.
Poodles Need Regular Grooming Unlike most dogs, poodles don’t shed. As mentioned above, they have hair and not fur. This makes a big difference in their grooming needs. Whether a poodle is a service dog, being shown in dog shows or just a family pet, they all need to have their hair trimmed. Ideally, they should be shampooed and clipped every other month and sooner if it seems necessary. Shedding helps dogs manage their coats because they continuously lose hair. Poodles need your help managing their coats.
Poodles Get Bored Poodles are very smart and considered the second most intelligent dog breed after the border collie. Some poodle owners are convinced they can hold sensible conversations with their dog. As mentioned above, they make superior work dogs. As an owner, you may want to think about what this means because while they are perceptive and interested in all you do, their high intelligence also means they need stimuli or they get bored or worse, display problem behavior.
