Poodles are a breed of dog that originated in Germany and were later developed in France. They are known for their curly, hypoallergenic coat, intelligence, and athleticism.
There are three different sizes of poodles: standard, miniature, and toy. Standard poodles are the largest, standing at over 15 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing between 45 and 70 pounds. Miniature poodles stand between 11 and 15 inches tall and weigh between 12 and 20 pounds, while toy poodles stand under 10 inches tall and weigh between 4 and 6 pounds.
Poodles are highly trainable and excel in obedience competitions. They are also often used as therapy dogs, guide dogs, and search and rescue dogs.
The breed comes in a variety of colors, including black, white, brown, gray, silver, and apricot. Their coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting and to keep it looking neat and tidy.
Poodles have a lifespan of 12-15 years and are generally healthy, although they can be prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and ear infections.
Overall, poodles are a popular breed due to their intelligence, versatility, and hypoallergenic coat.
