I have always wanted a big purebred standard poodle. My friend is an avid Schnauzer lover, rescuer and will spend THOUSANDS on her own. She knew how much I wanted a poodle and she felt I would give him a good home. A lady had to be put in a nursing home and wanted a good home for her black, 6yr old Standard. I left the very day I was told about him and he’s been with me on my 12 acre horse farm for 4-5 months now. I can’t quit looking at him! He never wants to leave my side. In the house, he is so chill. Outside he barks like the king he is, shouting orders at deer and other woodland creatures. He LOVES people and treats my 2 tiny dogs so gently and attentively. As far as cost, I’m way ahead of the game because she knew I would have him as long as I was alive and let me have him for free. He eats well, rests well and adjusted very quickly. I did notice a slight depression the first few days, but it passed quickly as we have about an acre and a half in chain link fence for him and his Blue Heeler brother who showed him the ropes. Two lovely sentries keeping the yard safe. I am beyond BLESSED to share life with him!

Both of my pure bred Poodles were rescues. Please give “Pound Poodles” homes.

I have a rescue mini. The grooming is constant, professional and home combing, nails, eye cleaning, ear cleaning. They grow hair out of everything and need their ears cleaned, toes clipped etc. Sensitive, discipline is just a stern talking - he gets it. Scary intelligent. Mine knows our schedule (I have 3 other dogs) and will bark at me if I'm late - in mealtime, walk time, getting up and going to bed. Nag, nag, nag. Has physically snagged a bird out of the air with a huge leap. May look fluffy, but this is a DOG, man!

🐩 My first Pound Poodle (purebred rescue) was eerily smart. She also didn’t like to be left home alone. I bought her a puzzle toy to distract her when I would be leaving the house to go out. I put the treat filled toy as far away from the door as possible. By the time, I got my bag and walked to the door, she was right beside me. Thinking that she didn’t know how to access the treats in the puzzle, I went back to look at it. The treats were all found and eaten. I ditched the puzzle and from that day on took her with me all of the time.
My second Pound Poodle suffers from separation anxiety. She cries so loudly and consistently that she can be heard at the end of the block! Just like my first Pound Poodle, my second Pound Poodle also has me trained to take her with me all the time.
These dogs are wicked smart. If possible, they will do their best to outsmart you.
On the other hand, as many other Poodle owners have told me, once you go Poodle, you never go back. That’s because although all dogs rock, only Poodles rock and roll with style. *
P.S. * I’m sure that all dog owners feel this way about their own darling doggos. The wonderful thing is that they are all correct! 🐩

I lost my miniature poodle last April. He was the best dog I have ever had. His name was Winston. He squatted when he peed and never marked anywhere inside or outside. He had a full blooded sister from a different litter and we still have her. She is 14 years old now. Winston and his sister, Lulu were both very easy to train and absolutely lovely lovely dogs. I bought another miniature poodle puppy this past November and his name is Bentley. He does not squat when he pees and he has marked in the house. However, he is fully potty trained now and even though he’s nothing like Winston, he’s an absolutely wonderful companion. He’s just over a year old now. Lulu’s not real fond of him as he tries to engage her in play and she wants nothing to do with that… Poodles are the only breed for us. We love that they don’t shed and they are groomed monthly.

[nancyhsu]

Yes! Low shedding does not mean no grooming!!

[PrincessKaila-kfzg]

I have a mini poodle! He’s almost 5 months old! I love him

[Dayholly]

My purebred mini poodle was born totally blind, and everything in this video still applies!!!! Fetch is his absolute favorite! And he's an escape artist who wears a GPS collar!

[shortstuff]

My poodles are Velcro dogs. I am a walking treat dispenser.

[joebloe]

The best. I have two! Wish I could afford three!!!

Most of the things you cover are relevant to all dogs. All dogs can be expensive and must have vet visits, food, etc.

Tucker gets the 6 o'clock pm time zoomies .run bark run bark .gets right in my face bark and that's the signal to chase him

I had a toy poodle named Poppy who was really brilliant. She helped me teach her daughters to behave.. Lost her 3 years ago and still miss her so much 😢

[deborahd]

I had a little boy poodle, and he was the best dog I ever owned. I will own another one day.❤

The biggest consideration is which poodle? Poodles are very versatile, and depending on the breeder, breeder stock or parents, may lean in different directions. Hunting poodles may be more active, higher prey drive, and need lots of exercise. What about confirmation champions? To show well and be "up" for 3 days of grooming, show life, and walk in the ring with confidence - that may require a specific temperament. Very calm and patient while on a grooming table and big presence in the ring, and loves attention. While emotional support, therapy, or companion poodles exhibit human focus, sensitivity, and sometimes desire to be part of the family. Seek out the type of poodle that best suits your life style for the next 12-17 years. I've had 10 standard poodles and all different. 9 out of the 10 were OK with less exercise to relax. 1 hunting - show poodle required 4 miles per day, every day. Some poodles can get into chewing for a year or so, others not ever. Some bark some not so much. Thus ask a lot of questions and don't settle on the least expensive poodle ... because it's the lifetime costs that count most.

How is food, bed and vaccines only poodle related costs?

[jennifertran]

Ur video is the most honest of all the ones I’ve seen. Most ppl keep saying they are 100% hypo. And don’t shed. How does that make any sense. Even humans shed hair. Thx for the info.

[JGoya_Seiboshi]

I learned how to groom my poodle. Problem solved.
I wouldn’t get any other breed other than a poodle. They’re really smart!

I've got a beautiful phantom min poodle! Training starts day 1( 1stly sit, stay, recall!) No long walks as puppies for 5 months to prevent hip issues! She's not destructive or yappy = trained! I groom her myself, $20-30 for a pair of clippers, lasted me 6 yrs so far! She doesn't like sudden motorbike sounds, so I always walk her on the inside away from the road! On the beach taught her to avoid hunting seagulls by a simple "NO- leave" command! I don't agree with the majority of this video! There are no bad dogs - only bad owners! She's a wonderful obedient dog, gentle & nondestructive! Be the pack leader for any dog, that's all they need & want!
