If you want a breed that is beautiful, smart, clean, non
shedding, non smelly, easy to get along with, a good house dog, a watchdog and a good retriever, then the poodle is the breed
for you.
They have long life spans and are usually robust till the
very end.
The only drawbacks to the poodle breed is the regular grooming
needed and that they just might be smarter than you!
Poodles are not "SISSY" dogs. I know it is hard to get past
the fluffy, fru-fru exterior, but there are various different poodle hair cuts to choose from.
The poodle was bred as a water retrieval dog. And they
can retrieve just as well as labs and Golden's.
Poodles are so tough that they have been used as a sled dog
team in the Montan Creek, Alaska, seven day race.
Poodles are very versatile. They do well in conformation,
agility, and obedience. Poodles are also being used as search and rescue dogs, handicap assistance dogs, therapy dogs,
and seeing eyed dogs. They also ex cell at being loving, loyal pets in the home. So if you call that a "SISSY"
dog, you may want to look at the definition of the word "SISSY"!
