About the Poodle
The Poodle is a medium dog breed originating in Germany / France. Adult dogs typically weigh 10 to 70 pounds and live 12 to 15 years. The breed is described as highly-intelligent, eager-to-please, low-shedding, family-bonded.
Active households committed to professional grooming every 5–7 weeks and daily mental work. Poodles are among the most trainable breeds. Owners unwilling to budget for regular grooming, or households expecting a low-engagement dog.
Adult Poodles need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is curly-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
