| Breed Characteristics |
poodle puppies are known for their curly fur and their energy levels. Their bodies are well-proportioned and muscular, and even with an elaborate continental clip hairdo, are incredibly athletic.These days most poodle owners opt for the sporting clip, showing off their squarely toned shape. Either way, if someone in your family is sensitive to dog fur, poodles puppies are hypoallergenic! |
| Temperament | Poodles puppies are people-oriented and love learning new tricks. They’re good-natured and have a strong impulse to fetch with a wide assortment of toys due to their hunting puppy past. They need a lot of attention, including high levels of interaction with all family members. If you can’t be around as much as you’d like to be, you can find a local sitter on our website who offers puppy Boarding and can give your puppy all the attention they deserve while you’re gone. |
| Grooming and Health Needs | As puppies, poodles puppies 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 puppies 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 puppies are generally a healthy breed due to years of responsible breeding and tests that have been done to ensure eye disorders, epilepsy, sebaceous adenitis, von Willebrand’s disease, and immune-mediated disorders aren’t present. Toy and miniature poodles puppies are more likely to have orthopaedic problems (Legg-Calve-Perthes and luxating patellas), while the standard poodle can be at risk for bloat. |
| Training | Poodles puppies are highly trainable and pick up skills quickly. They love positive reenforcement 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 | Poodles ;puppies (of every size) are active poodle puppies that need exercise on a daily basis. They love swimming as a great way to burn that puppy fuel. Playing multiple games of fetch and retrieval helps to bond with your poodle puppies and tucker them out. |
| Life Span | Poodles puppies live between 10 – 18 years on average. |
