Many people think of the elaborate, pom-pom-like haircut (called the “Continental Clip”) when they think of poodles. However, poodles can be given regular haircuts that follow the contour of their body (called a “Sporting Clip”).
Although Poodles are known for minimal shedding, their curly coats still need some extra care. They need to be groomed every 4-6 weeks and brushed regularly, or their coat will become matted and tangled. You can take your Miniature Poodle to the groomer or learn to give them a haircut by yourself.
Your poodle will also need its teeth brushed and nails trimmed regularly.
Although Poodles are the national dog of France, they originated in Germany, where they were bred and used as retrieving water dogs. At that time, the Poodle’s showy haircut was practical – it allowed the poodle to move about easily while hunting while still protecting certain parts of its body, such as the paws, chest, and head.
With its elegance and intelligence, the poodle became a popular breed among the French nobles and in other parts of Europe. Because of their trainable, attention-loving nature and showy looks, poodles were often used in the circus. They have also been used for hunting truffles (underground mushrooms) with their long snouts.
The Standard Poodle was downsized to the Miniature and the Toy Poodle. If they are well-bred, each breed is a replica of each other.
Today, the Standard Poodle ranks number seven in breeds registered with AKC.
A standard poodle 15-28 inches tall at the shoulder.
Miniature poodles are 10-15 inches tall, and poodles under 10 inches are classified as toy poodles.
Male standard poodles weigh 60-70 pounds, and females weigh 40-50 pounds.
Poodle with Children And Other Pets
At Lancaster Poodles, we believe that Poodles make excellent companions for children due to their intelligence, playful nature, and gentle temperament. However, when it comes to young kids, special care is needed, especially with the Toy Poodle, the smallest and most delicate variety of the breed. Young children who are not yet aware of how to handle a dog properly could accidentally hurt a Toy Poodle. For families with very young kids, considering a larger variety such as the Miniature or Standard Poodle might be a better option.
We emphasize the importance of teaching children how to interact safely with dogs. It’s crucial to instruct kids on how to approach and touch Poodles gently, and always supervise their interactions with the dog. This supervision helps prevent any accidental biting or pulling of ears and tails. Additionally, children should be taught to respect the dog’s space, especially during meal times or when the dog is resting. No matter how friendly or well-behaved a dog may be, they should never be left unsupervised with a child.
Lancaster Poodles are known for their friendly and adaptable nature, which extends to their interactions with other pets. Poodles generally get along well with other dogs and animals, particularly if they are raised together or have regular opportunities to socialize. Poodles who grow up with other pets in the home, or who engage in social activities like group training classes or visits to dog parks, tend to enjoy the company of other animals. Proper socialization is key, and with the right exposure, Poodles from Lancaster Poodles can easily become friendly and harmonious members of multi-pet households.
