BREED DESCRIPTION
The Standard Poodle is the original from which the Miniature and Toy were developed. Known in Russia and Germany since
the early 16th century, the breed is related to the Portuguese Water Dog and Irish Water Spaniel. Though its first job
was that of a retriever of waterfowl, the versatile Poodle was used in France to scent out truffles.
Possessed
with extreme versatility, the intelligent and easy going Poodle makes an excellent companion.
A lot of people
have utilized the poodle’s ability for water retrieving. The breed needs lots of exercise and is better suited to a
house than a high-rise.
The Standard Poodle must be over 15 in, most average 22-26 in.
The non-shedding
coat is dense, harsh and frizzy or curly.
Standard Poodle dogs require a skilled hand to clip and scissor the
coat into one of the accepted trims. They should be brushed often.
