Temperament

What is a Poodle like?

Poodles can get a bad reputation for being a spoilt dog. Indeed, they are a popular dog amongst the rich and famous. However, at its heart, the Poodle is an ever-curious dog with a high desire to play. Their energy level means that they look to be constantly engaged, or they might result in destructive behaviours.

Poodles are also highly sociable. They interact well with strangers, but especially so with children. In fact, poodles are one of the most suitable dog breeds for families with children. The children will be able to spend lots of time with the poodle, whilst also matching their high energy level, making them a perfect match.

Poodle Adoption Notes

Quick Summary

  • Poodles have very strong leadership characteristics. However, if left unreined, you are likely to have plenty of troubles in the long term. They might think themselves masters of the house, thereby doing whatever they want. Put them under obedience training from a young age to avoid such problems.
  • Even then, you might find yourself occasionally having to deal with the destructive behaviours of your Poodle. That’s like because they are bored. Since Poodles have very active minds and are very playful, it’s important to keep them engage through the day. 

yQuick Summary

  • Poodles are renowned for their beauty, but this beauty come at a cost. They are rather high maintenance, so be prepared to take them to a professional groomer every month. 
  • Poodles are prone to suffering from blocked tear ducts. It’s a mild medical condition, and manifests itself only cosmetically. Nevertheless, this means that you’ll often find your Poodle being teary-eyed. To avoid their tears staining up the furniture in the room, you could wipe their face daily with an alcohol free pet-wipe.

Not pushy at all

Professional and reasonable prices with no frills and no hard selling. We visited 4 pet shops and purchased our poodle from SingaporePuppyAdoption as we think they are the best with transparent pricing and socially responsible pet shop. Other pet shops have different prices for the same puppies and are very pushy in sales which we prefer this pet shop over the others.

CONSIDERATION: PROS

A Poodle is perfect if you want a dog who…

Is Sociable:

Not only poodles get along well with human strangers, they also coexist harmoniously with your other pets.

IS telepathic

Poodles are so intelligent that sometimes they seem to know exactly what you are thinking. A man’s best friend indeed.

Is Trainable

Also owing to their intellect, poodles are one of the easiest to train and housebreak amongst the different breeds.

Is elegant

Poodles has a natural elegance to them, both in terms of look and gait. No wonder they are regarded as prize dogs.

Tips: Grooming

Poodles are one of the dog breeds which do not shed. This makes them ideal if you do not want to deal with fur in your clothes and belongings. However, they do require grooming every so often. Bring them to a professional groomer at least once every six weeks. It can be costly, so if you want to save up some money, you can also start learning how to groom them yourself.

Tips: Routines

Poodles require consistency in their daily routines. Of course, it may take some time to find out what works best for everyone during the first few days after you adopt the poodle. Once you have figured out a schedule, it is best to stick with it. Otherwise, your poodle might become rather tense and anxious. As such, adopt a poodle only if you believe you can provide for it a consistent way of life.

ConsideratiOn: CONS

Don’t get a Poodle if you don’t want to deal with its…

Anxiety

Routines are very important to Poodles. Avoid adopting a poodle if your work schedule changes all the time. 

Energy

Poodles have very high energy levels. This means they require a considerable amount of daily exercises and games. 

High-Maintenance

Whilst they do not shed, Poodles do require a trim once at least every 6 weeks. Do take them to a groomer regularly.

BArking

Poodles can bark a lot when they are young. With enough training however, this problem can be quickly toned down.

Coexisting with a Poodle

Appearance

Whilst the mention of this dog breed conjures images of luxury, especially with their achievements in the show ring, they have a very real athletic root. Their squarely proportioned body speaks of a heritage where they were bred for water retrieving duties. 

Poodles are famous for their dense and curly coats. Yet these coats can be surprisingly harsh to the touch. They walk with a light, graceful, and effortless gait. This is further reflected in the look of distinction that they wear on their faces.

Basic profile of a Poodle

Activity

01. Exercise Requirements

One of the reasons why Poodles are so great with young kids is because they are similarly full of energy. They are a high octane dog breed which requires a healthy amount of exercise every day. Walks in the parks are lovely, but a day in the pool is perhaps what they love most. After all, they were originally bred as water retriever dogs. 

This also means that they enjoy every game of fetch. Toss them anything, a tennis ball, a tree branch, or even a frisbee. They love such games and can play for hours on end.

Fitness

03. Potential Health Issues

Poodles usually get to enjoy long fulfilling lives due to their generally healthy predisposition. However, there are certain medical conditions that are indeed more prevalent in Poodles.

As mentioned, the watery eyes that you notice in  most Poodles are due to them having blocked eye ducts. If not taken care of properly, further eye complications could arise. Hip dysplasia is also rather common amongst poodles. This is when the hip joint gradually becomes either partially or completely dislocated. 

Breaking In

02. Obedience Training Style

Poodles are one of the more intelligent dog breeds. Their natural curiosity leads them to become highly receptive towards obedience training.

Other than that, you can also easily introduce other types of training these poodles. For example, they have been known to do very well in agility training as well as tracking training. However, do be consistent in the tasks you ask of them. Otherwise, they may receive mixed signals and consequently may train poorly.

Food

04. Nutritional Requirements

Poodles should be kept on a balanced diet. What they require however, constantly change, as they grow up. For poodles under three months old, free-feeding is encouraged. This means that you can make their food available to them at all times.

When they start becoming a puppy however, start a feeding routine of three meals a day. Then, when they grow even bigger in size, moderate it from time to time, switching between two to three meals a day.
