Poodles: Proud And Dignified
Some people think of Poodles as not being real dogs, though for anyone that has owned them, they are more than real ? they are surreal. You would certainly end up being amazed by the sheer intelligence of the breed, which is almost humanesque. They are also very good learners that are given to having a high degree of creativity and they are also not averse to being the star of the show. However, it would be wrong to think of every Poodle as possessing the same personality because the personality will vary much and the personality may often reflect as well as compliment the personality of their owner.
There is a lot to praise as far as the personality of the Poodle goes including his uncanny ability to grasp things easily and quickly, and Poodles are also very energetic and are often clownish because they are able to perform numerous cute tricks that will never fail to please everyone that comes into contact with them. The intelligence of the Poodle is truly remarkable and he is also very adaptable and versatile and has changed considerably from originally being a hunting dog to the great family pet that he is today.
Poodles love the company of humans and they are particularly good even in the company of children. And because they also instinctively have both the characteristics of a hunting dog as too very well developed retrieving instincts, they are well suited to acting as watchdogs, particularly in the case of the Standard Poodle. Nevertheless, even the Miniature as well as Toy versions are effective watchdogs and will readily warn you about the presence of strangers.
Standard Poodles, however, require a bit more exercising than do the toy and miniature versions and the reason for this is their bigger size. However, Poodles are also quite mellow and do not jump about too much nor do they act too nervous and they have an affinity for people as well as children. Also, you will not face any trouble in training your Poodle though he does not like being caged, and is, in fact quite a free-bird if truth be told.
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.
By nature, the Poodle is not a loner and thus does not like being left by him, and actually thrives most when he is the center of attraction. Poodles can learn tricks and are easy to train and are easily one of the most obedient dog breeds and they are proud animals that also love to do tricks for you.
Another feature about the breed is that a Poodle has hair that grows much like human hair grows and it continues growing, unlike other dogs whose hair stops growing when they have reached a certain length.
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.
