Poodle (Standard)
Poodles have no problem getting along with the kids, the cat, or even the guinea pig. Lively and affectionate, they make wonderful companion dogs. They enjoy a busy life and love to be included in all family activities. They can be good guard dogs, announcing visitors but never acting aggressively. Poodles are unusually sensitive to vocal intonation, probably one of the reasons they are so easy to train.

Poodle (Standard)
The Standard Poodle is the oldest of the three Poodle sizes, with the miniature and toy varieties developing later. The exact origin of the Poodle is unknown. Some say they originated in France, and others say that they come from Germany. They may have moved with German troops to other countries in the 1400’s before French breeders turned them into the form we know today.
