The Best Poodle Breeders
Lisa A Collins
The Best Poodle Breeders By Lisa A Collins The Poodle is one of the most loved and hated dog breeds. Often seen fully coiffed either in competition or strolling with their owners, their fur simultaneously pouffed high and trimmed close, poodles appear to be a haughty and decadent dog breed to the Poodle layman.
The history of the Poodle is much less intricate than one would think. Poodles have their origins in the 15th century. They are thought to have come from Russia and Germany. Germans called the Poodle Pudelhund, or splashing dog. The closely curled, dense coat of the Poodle served the purpose of insulating the dog from cold water. Poodles were used as retrievers and duck hunters. Their clich' trim actually served a functional purpose of keeping them warm around their joints while mobile in other areas when immersed in water.
Good Poodle breeders are aware of the history of the Poodle breed as well as the breed standard characteristics. They should be able to educate a potential buyer on the Poodle to ensure that the buyer and Poodle are a good match. The Poodle's fur is its most noticeable trait. It is dense, coarse and curly to wiry.
The three sizes of Poodle: miniature, toy and standard have similar traits of all Poodles but differ in height and weight. Miniature Poodles are fifteen to seventeen pounds and eleven to fifteen inches in height at the shoulder. Toy Poodles are six to nine pounds and up to ten inches at the shoulder. Standard Poodles are forty-five to seventy pounds and over fifteen inches at the shoulder.
Poodle breeders breed for overall traits such as high energy level, intelligence, proud or regal carriage, straight, delicate muzzle, small, oval feet, and curly, dense fur among other characteristics. There are many champion lines of Poodle due to the many winners of American Kennel Club and other canine association competitions. Purebred Poodles should come with a documented pedigree or ancestry showing evidence of past champions in the genetic line.
When interviewing Poodle breeders, buyers should bring a list of questions to

Few aspects of dog ownership cause so much frustration! Theories - good, bad and ugly - positively abound on the topic. You can find a plethora of conflicting arguments almost anywhere you choose to seek information on the subject, whether it's online (o, the staggering variation on the "The Only Way To House train Your Dog!" theme to be found here!), at your local library, through contact with dog trainers, or through the (less reputable but nevertheless prolific) ranks of "quack" dog trainers : aka, those frustrating people with absolutely no qualifications (and sometimes no dog!), but with enough front and flamboyance to fool the less suspicious of us into handing over our hard-earned cash...
