Poodles Are Wonderful Family Pet
In their earliest years, Poodles served as retrievers for ducks. Their main purpose was to jump into the water and fetch ducks, which led to its becoming a good swimmer. However, today the Poodle can do a lot more and he is certainly also a good companion as he is easy to train and possesses traits such as being agile, and can hunt as well as track. Poodles are also excellent rescue animals and they also make wonderful service dogs.
Poodles are also much loved and admired for their intelligent nature and also for their somewhat unusual appearance and they have at various times even been used as circus dogs because audiences really take to these dogs because they can perform many cute tricks. In addition to these antics the Poodle is also well loved for its sweet disposition and so it is well suited as a pet dog that will become greatly attached to its owner, and so are often considered one-man dogs.
Although Poodles are somewhat unusual in their appearance and do not look like most other dogs, they are still pleasing to look at and have square bodies. Of course there are various types of poodles as well including the standard, miniature and toy poodle. Also, Poodles have dark and oval eyes that are set apart and their ears generally hang down below the level of their eyes with muzzles that are long as well as straight.
Poodles are also hypoallergenic which means that even if you are allergic to dogs, having a Poodle around you will not prove to be problematic. In addition, Poodles are friendly creatures that like to be pampered and cared for and they get along well with children as well.
The fur is generally curly or corded while it is normal to dock (cut) its tail to half of what its original length was. The Poodle also requires extensive grooming which may even warrant its coat to be professionally groomed.
Despite their somewhat small build, Poodles are handsome and very muscular and they are also very good swimmers and because of their high degree of intelligence, will learn whatever is taught to them. However, because of their tiny size, the toy and miniature poodles tend to be rather excitable, especially if left idle, though this breed takes kindly to obedience training and thus do well in dog shows. Remember also, that Poodles require to be exercised daily and a walk or two each day is recommended.
The Poodle has a neck that is both muscular as well as long and its air of dignity sets it apart from all other breed, though the most distinguishing feature of any Poodle is its coat and its curly or corded fur that could be of various colors including black, gray, white, brown and many more.
The tail is usually docked (cut) to about half of its original length and Poodles are also creatures requiring extensive grooming.
