Poodle Breed Characteristics

Mini toy poodle brown. The poodle is one of the most popular dog breeds around. Their curly fur and long, elegant bodies are well-proportioned, muscular, and even with an elaborate “continental clip” hairdo, are incredibly athletic.

Either way, if someone in your family is sensitive to dog fur, poodles are hypoallergenic puppies.

Poodle Temperament

Mini toy poodle brown. Poodles are people-oriented and love learning new tricks. They are good-natured and have a strong impulse to fetch with a wide assortment of toys due to their hunting dog past. If you can’t be around as much as you’d like to be, you can find a local sitter on Rover.com who offers dog boarding and can give your dog all the attention they deserve while you’re gone.

Poodle Grooming and Health Needs

Mini toy poodle brown.  As puppies, poodles need only minimal bathing and brushing. As they start to grow, however, their coats will need a wide variety of attention, depending on how you want to groom them. If you keep their hair short they will be lower maintenance, but one must learn how to brush a poodle’s hair to prevent matting and knots. If the matting gets too extreme, experts suggest cutting the hair very short and growing out their curly locks from scratch. 

On the other end of the spectrum are those who prefer their poodles go to a professional groomer. If so, every 4-6 weeks is ideal, as they get a bath and nail trim in the process.

Poodles are a healthy and long-lived breed, but they can be prone to certain health issues. The toy length poodle is at increased risk of developing Legg-Calve-Perthes (involving the femoral head) and luxating patellas (kneecap dislocating), while standard poodles can develop bloat. Eye disorders like progressive retinal atrophy and cataracts are also common in this breed, as are autoimmune diseases like sebaceous adenitis and von Willebrand’s disease.

Training

Poodles are highly trainable, quick learners and want to please their owners. They learn best from positive reinforcement and excel in tracking, agility and obedience. Poodle puppies benefit from socialisation and puppy obedience classes to build good puppy behaviour. Poodles are especially aware of the tone of your voice, so if you need to reprimand your poodle, be firm but not harsh.

Energy Level
