Poodle (Standard)

Standard Poodles are exceptionally intelligent, athletic, and elegant dogs that rank among the smartest of all breeds. Far from being the pampered show dogs many imagine, Poodles were originally bred as water retrievers and are capable, versatile working dogs. Their hypoallergenic curly coat makes them a popular choice for allergy sufferers. Poodles are highly trainable and eager to please, excelling in obedience, agility, and even dock diving. They are sensitive dogs that respond best to positive reinforcement and form strong bonds with their families.
