Poodle

This is by far the best breed of dog we have had to date. We have a Toy Poodle, which my brother named Scampy, he is an Apricot coloured male with a fantastic personality. Size In all the books it says toys should only grow to 11inch but ours has grown a little beyond that so he does look a bit gangly. My nan has his sister, named Bonnie, and she is a third of the size. So, if you want a really small poodle a girl is your best bet. Temperament Scampy has been very easy to train with basic comands, he sits, lies down, gives his paw etc almost instantly (especially if he knows there is a treat at the end of the act) but he does have his ...  Read the complete review

Grooming requirements in the Standard poodle When grooming dogs the resources and equipment used varies due to their coat types. This occurs with all different breeds of dogs, and the dogs I have worked with so far are only scratching the surface on the different coat types and how they vary when grooming an animal and the things which should be expected. The first thing I am going to do is to quickly explain the use for the equipment which all coat types of dogs will need when grooming before looking at the variations there are. The Bath is needed to wash a dog and all dogs need washing, though some dogs need washing less often than ...  Read the complete review

When I was in the second grade my parents bought me a party colored (black and white) toy poodle. I named her Boo and she was my best friend and the smartest dog I've ever had the pleasure to own. At eight years old I was by no means a dog training expert of any sort. Through daily playing with my poodle Boo, she learned so many tricks and knew countless commands. I'd ask her if she wants to go for a "bike" and she would climb inside my back-pack and off we'd ride down the street. Because I was in track she would be my racing opponent for practice. I'd say "on your marks (she'd run in a circle and stop), get set (another circle then ...  Read the complete review

Years of moaning and nattering and promising-to-look-after-its finally paid off when me and my sister were promised a toy poodle!! Ok, I admit I wanted a bit of a tough dog, one that everyone would be scared of but we knew was a real softie, but hey, a dogs a dog, right? We went to a breeders for ours, which I suggest doing because you get a full history of the dog and it's parents. There's usually sevearal advertised in the Yeller, but you may not get to see the parents and at the end of the day if the dog was so lovely why are they letting it go? Well, that's my opinion anyway because even if I was moving abroad I WOULD NOT LEAVE MY POODLE. Try the Yellow ...  Read the complete review

I was 13 when I got my puppy, I originally wanted a spaniel, but my mum insisted that if were going to have a dog then it was going to be a poodle because she had always wanted one! So after a lot of protests and a few arguments, I agreed to the idea of a poodle… and I’m so glad I did! He’s my baby and I’d be lost without him! I was round at my granddads house one day and my mum had given me a copy of exchange and mart to look at and see if there was any puppies advertised in there, there was, so she phoned up this really nice lady in Bridgenorth who had been breeding poodles for about 40 years, we arranged to go look at the puppies the following ...  Read the complete review
