iDog Breed Number: CB268
Original: France&Germany
Personality:
Energy Level: Though possessing an air of distinction and dignity, the Miniature Poodle is an active dog that fits well into city living. A daily walk satisfies his exercise requirements.
Grooming: Not a job for the faint of heart, Poodle grooming is an acquired art. The breed may be shown in ‘puppy’ clip if under a year, the ‘English saddle’ clip or the ‘continental’ clip. All three require scissoring and clipping along with copious brushing and combing. Just for the record, Poodles may also be shown corded like the Puli but few are kept in that coat.
Trainability: Poodles are extremely intelligent and are easily trained. They are agile and graceful as well as smart, and they enjoy and excel in a variety of canine sports, including agility, obedience, and tracking. They are excellent water retrievers and also compete in dock diving and retriever hunt tests. Poodles are very people oriented, and if your training routines are fun and positive, they are quick to please you. Just be sure that you are being consistent with what you ask.
