Poodles are very pleasing to the eye and this fact is buttressed even more when you take into account its extreme intelligence and its very endearing nature that makes every aspect of his personality truly work to its advantage. In terms of physique, the Poodle is small though tough and he may either have a corded coat or one that is curly and the colors will vary, though black and white are most common. Also, the corded coated Poodle is very rarely found in America though the three main varieties found in America and also in the rest of the world are the Standard, Toy and Miniature Poodle.
Also, Poodles are the most pampered and thus can easily be spoiled by their owners though that does not take away from their impressive presence as well as aura of superiority, which can only be attributed to their most impressive history. So, don’t be surprised when your Poodle prances about elegantly or holds himself proudly and shows what a noble creature he really is.
Poodles are well known for their love for human beings and they are also very good around children, and, in addition, their hunting dog characteristics that have remained with them over the ages have also made them ideal watchdogs as well, especially in the case of a Standard Poodle. However, Miniature Poodles as well as the Toy version will also make good watchdogs and they too will be very alert and quick to warn you should any stranger approach them.
However, because they are small in size, they do not make good guard dogs, though their personality is one of boldness as well as confidence and they will also not easily back down from other animals or even from strangers. When it concerns letting the Poodle loose in the company of children, it is better to err on the side of safety and thus ensure that he is supervised because often children won’t know how to handle this small bundle of joy and thus may ill-treat him which would make the Poodle lose his trust in children and thus he won’t relish the company of small children and may soon become unpredictable around them.
You can expect to be pleasantly surprised to learn that despite their small size Poodles are really quite strong physically and thus should be kept leashed to prevent any accidents from taking place.
It goes without saying that Poodles are excellent pet dogs that possess a good nature and are also very intelligent dogs that can adapt well to any surroundings. Poodles love human company and so require a lot of attention and love. And once they are showered with love and affection will soon develop a strong bond with their owners that will last throughout their lifetime.
However, the Poodle is also a creature that expects and loves stability as well as requires following a set routine and will not take kindly to changes in his routine or to being exposed to chaotic environments.
He is also a one-man and one-family pet that can often become very shy when in the presence of strangers and will even take to barking if he does not know someone. However, when given time to settle into his new home, the Poodle will make an excellent pet and also a good guard dog.
