So did I miss any Poodle facts that deserved to be in this video??? Let me know!
A few are wrong. But otherwise u did a good job. Poodles are exceptional!
There's also a medium poodle
The 4th size did not magically appear. It used to be two, the Klein and the Big. That’s the origin. Also there is no German word pudelin, Pudel just means Poodle. The Old German (not today’s language) has a word called puddeln. That means splashing…

They participated and finished in the Iditarod.
conspiracy theory: poodle is the smartest dog in the world, but allowed the border collie to take the first spot so they can get away with a lot by their frou-frou image. now that's intelligent.
My conspiracy theory is that how blonde girls survived 😂 There are so many films about blonde girls with poodles. Poodles are just keeping them save outside.
I absolutely agree lol
😂
Actually Belgian Malinois, Tervuren, Groendaal and Laekenois (same dog, four coat varieties) have an almost dolphinlike intelligence. My terv never took more than a minute to learn ANYTHING..
It was also a POODLE breeder by the name of Alene Erlanger that started Americas very first Dogs for Defence program during WW2. It always grinds my gears when people poke fun of poodles not knowing anything about them. Super smart and super trainable with key intuition and good judgment.
I’ve had four standard poodles. Best dog breed ever. My friend described my dogs as Dobermans in drag.
😂😂😂 that's hilarious but kind of true .
@@ninavandenabbeele9667 it really is. My current spoo is kept clipped short. My brother has a Doberman. Their body frame is almost identical. Big chest, long legs and similar head shape.
My first spoo was huge. She weighed almost 80 lbs. Her father was the biggest poodle I had ever seen. He would have been a Giant Poodle if there was such a classification. He certainly exceeded the breed standard. When I went to pick up my puppy I played with him. He could put his paws on my shoulders and look over my head. He looked like a horse.
I kept her in fancy cuts and she looked fabulous. She was a great guard dog. I had plumbers come to my house when I wasn’t home (family friends) and I had put her in the kitchen with baby gates. They went in and saw her (and heard her) then walked right out and called me to say they weren’t doing the work until I got home.
Then a guy came to fix my cable and when he started to enter the gate she ran barking like a Rottweiler and jumped up on the fence. He came to my door and said he wasn’t entering the yard with a poodle that could look him in the eyes. 😂
So I can understand exactly why she calls them Dobermans in drag. They are always called French poodles but they originated in Germany. I’ve often thought that they might have been bred from a Doberman for their body style.
Yep, true, come at me in an aggressive manner and Jett will end that- while wearing a fetching red turtleneck sweater! 😀🐾
Fully agree, I had only one standard poodle, but Chico keeps any troublemaker far away.
My standard poodle was such a smart puppy that we bought bells and a hundred pack of puppy pads. We sold the puppy pads on FB as a pack of 99. Our trainer was teaching him commands in Japanese and he was following them so accurately that he asked me twice if we had been speaking to him in Japanese at home… absolutely not! 😅 He’s intuitive. He can sense somehow what you need him to do. And he watches EVERYTHING. He stood quietly and watched a mother dear nursing her baby mere yards away. But let a threat come near my car and you’d think he was a wolf. Standard poodle are incredible to behold. I love him so much! 🥰
The second day at our new house, my two standards figured out how to open the doors with the paddle handles....from either side.
My allergies got worse post kidney donation so I had to go hypoallergenic and decided on a standard poodle. BEST DECISION EVER!!! I now get the most wonderful greetings, hugs and smiles every time I walk through the door or simply baby him a bit. He's the most gentle loving pet my family has ever had and I absolutely would recommend the breed to anyone!
I currently have 3 poodles. They make 5 total that I’ve had. They are so intelligent. My girl Sassy watches television just like a human and has memorized what commercial will come on by what was on last. She amazes me.
Poodles are so affectionate and loyal. I will always have poodles in my life!
@@terryperry8636 I see myself like you in some years ahah, I love poodles so much and I can't wait to expand my family! My poodle right now isn't ready for another dog, he is really jealous (not aggressive) and overall will push every dog away that I try to pet (he literally comes in my lap and pushes them away)
He also doesn't like sharing his toys, he doesn't do resource guarding, but I know he doesn't like it when other dogs get his toys and he follows them until they drop it
@Jacqueline Joy🌸 Aww I'm so happy for you. For me it was the opposite, when I adopted him he was underweight and probably had been starved so he eats everything and can't regulate himself, now he's getting better and is becoming more picky (which is good because he used to eat literally everything) but still will always finish his bowl no matter how full it is. A friend of mine this week adopted her second poodle and it's so hard to resist from getting another one aghhhh, I can handle another poodle but, again, I'm sure my baby wouldn't like sharing me ahah, he probably wouldn't say anything but I'm sure he would become sad, maybe someday in the future, I've only had him for a year ❤️
@Jacqueline Joy🌸 Awwww
You can fix your allergy problems. They are due to your adrenal glands being under stress and fatigued. Start taking the following:
1. Vit B Complex at 8 am, and 4 pm with food. Also Vit B shots - ask your doctor. Ramp up on B's. Adrenal glands feed on them. When in short supply, adrenals become weak and you have allergy symptoms.
2. Sleep enough, don't eat sugar and carbs and cow milk to lower your body inflammation.
3. Take Bio Activated Quercetin to lessen allergies. All natural extract of onion and garlic.
4. Take Adrenergize, an adrenal gland booster, all natural. Go through 1-2 bottles every year and your adrenals will become stronger.
5. Drink Kefir and eat Greek Yoghurt (no sugar!) to boost your probiotics. If you have bloating after meals, take NOW Super Enzymes 1-2 capsules after meal and some apple cider vinegar to improve digestion. Poor digestion causes allergis.
This will make your allergies disappear. Also cures sinus issues. Do all of the above. Tried and tested gold nuggets of information.
Another fact: Baron, the Victor Hugo's black poodle.
This wonderful dog making great thing for his master but hugo did not like to be disturbed during his work.
During a visit to Moscow, a friend of his liked his dog, so it was offered to him. A few months later, Victor receives a letter from his friend telling him that Baron has disappeared. It's in the middle of the night, a few weeks later, scratching sounds were heard at the door of his Parisian home. It was Baron! Thin and dirty, his dog has to cross all of Eastern Europe to return home. The legend says that Baron lived 7 years after returning home!
We have been proud parents of Standard Poodles since 1967. They have and are wonderful members of our family.
My toy is poodle is one the smartest dogs Ive ever known. She once feigned an injury after getting caught eating off our table. It worked the first time but not on the second lol
😂
😂😂
I had a mini poodle as a kid that did the pretend limp thing when she got caught being bad...
Did you know a dog sled team of poodles won a snow sled race back in 1991. Poodles are my favourite dog breed. It is interesting I used to never like the poodle breed until my Nan bought one, her Name is Muffin. My Nan passed away this year at the age of 93, she loved her poodle more than she loved anything else. and I have taken on Muffin as my own. We have a unbreakable bond, and I now and forever will always have a poodle in my home. She is the smartest dog I have ever had. And boy she has a strong personality lol. I see her as my very own child, since I can't have kids. I love her so much. I just wish dogs could live as long as humans 😥 Though I am greatful to spend every second with her.
Poodles are the best.
Poodles are most definitely the best! My first miniature poodle was my 12th birthday present and ever since I had poodles (all black darlings) I’m now in my 70s). They are certainly intelligent and I would go as far as to say mind readers too!!!
Wish more than anything I had the friendship and company of a poodle now but can’t afford one now and more importantly couldn’t give it the exercise and adventures that poodles love. 💖🥰🥰💖🥰🥰💖
Toy poodles suffer from small dog syndrome.
Nice!
Google Johnny Carson Tonight Show and poodles Iditarod
to watch the interview with the musher and one of his sled poodles.
Grew up with several GSD, and was a huge fan of the breed...until we got our first Poodle.
You know the saying? It's true.
Once you go Poodle, you never go back!
my favorite fact is, how smart they really are... and also, how loving and attentive toy poodles are. they don't want to miss a single event in the lives of my children.
I’ve had lots of large breed dogs but spent about 35 years with strictly German wire hair pointer‘s a.k.a. Drahthaars. My hunting days are over and I needed a indoor dog that wouldn’t trigger my wife’s allergies. Got a standard poodle and we are thrilled with this dog. Not only is he smart, he’s got real good watch dog instinct. We have not trained for this but it’s just instinctual. Met a man recently whose grandfather has a ranch in northern Idaho and he keeps nothing but standard poodles to work all ranch duties. Guarding, herding, hunting and vermin control. He said those poodles will chase a coyote down and kill it. I have no reason to not believe him as I have been amazed how fast this dog is. Fastest dog I’ve ever owned except for a greyhound that I had once.
They are amazing watchdogs, even untrained. He can sense who is afraid, who is not a threat and who is out of place and he behaves accordingly.
Yes ours is VERY alert with high pattern recognition. He always barks when someone he doesn’t recognize is passing by.
Very confident and stable dog.
I have a standard poodle who I swear used to be a human in his past life because he is remarkably intelligent and seems to have a touch more depth than some of the previous dogs I've owned or experienced. When he was just a puppy, he knew how to open doors (by standing on his hind legs and leaning on the handles), swim, drop the ball when we played fetch(which I didnt even teach him) and was especially cuddly and tame/calm. He has alway been very alert and wary of strangers, and at such a young age, was already barking and defending the house.
He is even rather emotionally intelligent - he seems to alway know when I am upset.
Standard poodles have so many desirable traits: not shedding fur, high intelligence, and emotional depth. Despite considering myself a cat person, I have come to appreciate these qualities and now consider myself both a cat and a poodle person.
Best pet combination ever. Now all you need is a budgie!
Any health issues?
I got a doodle that was bred back to a poodle hoping that it might reduce some of the potential health issues, (he has all the same qualities that you describe in your pure poodle and I just love him.)
@@olololo9224standard poodles coming from reputable/ethical preservation breeders are one of the healthiest dogs.
Doodles are not healthier than well bred poodles and tend to have more health problems because the stock of dogs doodle breeders use aren’t the greatest. Back yard bred poodles have lots of health issues as do goldens.
If a breeder doesn’t have a pedigree and their dogs aren’t listed on OFA with all the paid for by breeder health tests.. the dog is back yard bred.
Again.. standard poodles are actually one of the healthiest medium-large breed dogs.. from preservation breeder. A pure bred is not the same as a well bred.
I had a standard poodle that I felt had been a human in another life, too. He was a close companion, a great natural watchdog and did almost everything with me. He even pulled weeds with me in the garden, and accurately!
@@olololo9224if you get a Poodle from a reputable breeder that titles(obedience.. agility etc) and does the health tests.. they should be healthy dogs with an amazing temperament.. it’s worth the cost. Back yard bred Poodles are a mess health wise and temperament wise.
We have a standard Poodle and he’s aprioct(golden) and we keep him in a teddy bear clip. He’s always mistaken for a golden doodle.
I think more doodle owners would go with Poodles if they realized they aren’t born with the shaved face. Breeders shave the face at 6 weeks old but you don’t have to keep it shaved. The red and apricot ones look just like doodles.. teddy bears. Our boy gets so much attention in public and loves it. He also knows so many tricks. He’s super cute and loving.
A lot of doodle breeders just breed for unique colors and most of the doodle temperaments around here are pretty high strung.
I am the third generation to own poodles in my family. I've had both standards and miniatures and I will never choose another breed! So clever, loyal, funny and intelligent. I have kidney disease and all three of the poodles I've had and have, have been able to tell when im struggling and have stayed by my side. My standard poodle used to push against me when I was feeling faint to.keep me standing up to get the nearest safe place.
We just adopted a toy poodle. Me, my wife and kids love it so far. He feels like another child, he is very affectionate :)
Me love poodles too.
Poodles RULE!
I have a moyen and she’s literally the perfect sized dog. She’s nimble and the fastest dog in the dog park. She can keep up with everything from biking to running in the snow, she’s 25 lbs so not hard to pick up and can jump 4 foot fences should she need to. Best part is she’s such a little noodle she doesn’t knock anything over or ever get in the way. I just got a standard two weeks ago.. we’ll see how he measures up
We started w/ one moyen & now have four. Like another commentator mentioned a very addictive breed 😂 best dogs ever.
Love poodles!
There's just nothing like a poodle. They are totally the best. 🐩
Everyone knows and loves the fetch fake out throw but my poodle will fake you out. He brings the rubber chew toy to you after you fake him out, puts it in front of you, “points” at it with his paw, then when you go for it he snatches it up, then he puts it back down in front of you and points at it again. I would be offended if I weren’t so impressed (and yeah ok I faked him out too so it’s only fair)
Hey, my little girl does exactly the same. they certainly are not one sided in their interactions.
My toy used to do the same. Bring something to you to throw and as soon as you reached for it would snap his head around. They truly are little jokesters.
My moyen boy does this too!!!
My standard does it too also if another dog is playing fetch together with her and the dog is faster she won't run she'll wait until the other dog brings it half way steal the toy and bring it 😂😂😂
I have two Standard Poodles and they are such clowns. Poodles have the intelligence of Einstein with a Three Stooges sense of humor 🤣
Agree. Hilarious dogs
great video! I would have loved to see more of the Standard size though, it was mostly toys and minis.

Great protective, therapy dogs. I have a 4 year old female mini poodle, she is the most amazing dog, smart, gentle, sweet, and loving, they run very fast too!
My first standard was by far the smartest person in the world. I’m serious. She was wicked smart and when she looked at you it was as if she was assessing your soul.
Nice to see a good and knowledgeable video about the Poodle
It’s raining cats and dogs. Don’t step in the poodles.
Kinda like: Up the creek without a Poodle! LoL! Love it. Thanks!
My late mother used to tell this joke and I always thought it was so silly, but funny.
@@whitneyhouston145 Same, but it was my late father.I think our poodle was his favorite child.
I Love Mini standard Poodles!!! Super smart, tough, loyal ,protective but also sociable, Loving, excellent swimmers, agility, can be super defensive or vicious even. Once a poodle falls in love with you , It will always love you. And lets face it , who doesnt love The "poodle" cut. Pom Poms and clipped coats.
I had a Standard Royal Poodle and he was very smart and strong and was 34 inches tall and was 100pounds of solid and he was so beautiful an Black I miss him so much right now and I would really like to get another one
The ONLY problem with poodles is that they only live 15 - 18 years and they require grooming every couple of months. Their sweet, playful temperament and intelligence combined with their affectionate and loving nature will quickly win you over. These dogs are very smart, obedient, sweet, loyal, cuddly and easy to train. Anyway, true story. My mom (now passed) was a poodle groomer and she had four miniature poodles, 3 females and one male. One night, a very nicely dressed (go figure) young man broke into mom's house via a sliding glass door (mom was 78 at the time) and her otherwise very affectionate, friendly and sweet little foo-foo balls of fluff turned into man killers and cornered him in the kitchen barking, growling and snapping viciously. The biggest poodle was a male and weighed about 22 pounds - the others (female) weighed 12 to 18 pounds each and they flipped from sweet, playful and affectionate little lap dogs into vicious growling and snarling man killers and corned the man in the kitchen and held him there for roughly 20 minutes until the police arrived. I previously made fun of mom's sissy little dogs but I gained great respect for them. I have owned nothing but poodles ever since.
@@perindne It's my pleasure to be owned by a Moyen Poodle. She has a standing appointment with her groomer every 4 weeks as I have a back injury that prohibits me from bathing and grooming her myself. I just simply know that your mother had a pack of Poodles waiting for her as she crossed the Rainbow Bridge into Heaven. Bless you for sharing.
They've always reminded me of British WWI veterans who spend a lot of time reading in their study.
THE DOG IS SO INTELLIGENT!
I forgot to add - my poodles very quickly learned friends from foes and I have seen them turn protectively vicious. Mom was getting old (79) and a nicely dressed man (go figure) broke into her house. Her three miniature lapdog poodles turned into vicious snapping, growling demons and cornered the thief in the kitchen for about 20 minutes until the police arrived. From that point on I have had nothing but poodles. By the way, our miniature poodles had long lives - lived to be 18 to 20 years old.
They are just wonderfull, I really love mine, he is such a good boy.
I want a poodle
Going into battle and seeing a fleet of standard poodles coming at you full force 😂😂😂
Don't laugh. Poodles were war dogs in the past. Look it up for yourself.
@@perindne Yes, my sweet Sophie is a great alerter to anything out of the ordinary in my front or back gardens. She barks as loudly as a Golden Retriever and scares folks who come into my gate uninvited. She hasn't bitten anyone but I feel safer with her than without her. That's for certain! Thanks for sharing.
My mostly poodle doodle doesn’t like men and always barks at all strangers wouldn’t’t even take a treat from a stranger.
My mother brought a miniature poodle puppy home one day many years ago. My father and I were aghast about having a "sissy" dog in our home. However, this intelligent little lady turned out to be a wonderful, charming, obedient house guardian and a loving pet. She learned quickly and was a fantastic companion . Very smart, quick to comprehend, sweet and was an attractive and playful little lady. I was hooked and have had poodles ever since except for one wonderful female black and tan dachshund who was also a sweetheart.
The only problem is their short life span of roughly 15-17 years for the toys and miniatures - the standard poodles live roughly 8 - 10 years.
My miniature rescue poodle lived to be 19 yrs old.
15 to 18 years is a great live span we all want them to live for ever ,but the unconditional love u get and give is priceless they are a family member ,they do not think they are dogs but one of the family ,I wouldn't have it any other way I have had 52 in my life time this far ,I have 10 as we chat as t the moment.have a great day
Nothing sissy about a poodle. Trust me we have had many. Xxxxxxxx
I really do not know how the boarder collie is number one poodle for many decades was the smartest dogs was poodle ,I have owned thru my life time 52 poodles they are fantastic ,once u have what ever size of poodles u like u will always have at least one no other breed can compare
Great video! Appreciate the comprehensive insight.
Great vid, very interesting and informative. Thanks
Love my poodle!
Poodles are good w/ kids + very protective of the owner. Poodles love to please there humans my Standard was the best dog in the world.
Poodles were hearding dogs too, and favourites for the court ladies of kings in Versalles, and popular sirkus dogs because they are so easy to train. They often learn just by watching others. Poodles have excelled in many dog sports like obedience, agility, rally and freestyle. Poodles have even finished the Iditarod 6 times.
Turns out the Poodles are kind of similar to Landskenects in history, Landskenects were Early Modern Mercenaries who hail from The Holy Roman Empire (basically modern day Germany) being formed by the Empreror himself, these Mercenaries were infamous for their Brutality but also their Extravegant sense of Fashion, as Lands ware puffy Long Sleaved Shirts and Big hats with Feathers.
Sigma Gamma Rho... Mad Respect.
I am from Finland and we have lots of moyen poodles here (we use a different word in Finnish) and I have one myself. It's a very nice size in between standard and miniature.
I have a moyen too, she’s 23 lbs, long and lean; I think she’s absolutely the perfect size. She can lay on me without being too much, she‘a the fastest dog anyone has ever seen and can keep up with any activity. She’s big enough to hold her own while not being in the way. Best decision ever
I have a moyen too! He's 30 pounds and all legs. He's a brilliant genius and I'm really glad to hear that there's a ton of them roaming around Finland (an awesome country!)
I have a 30 kg male standard poodle best dog ever never a bother good protector and such a good boy only prob is ear infections otherwise worth every second of my life and agile as a grey hound if not better
I rescue dogs and have a lot of experience fixing their problems. Check to see if the ear drums are intact (Otoscope on Amazon or your vet), then use a ketoconazole shampoo and wash out the ear. There is a good one called Veterinarian Formula on Amazon. Get the Antifungal version of this brand. When you bathe your dog in the tub, scrub outside and inside the ear with a toothbrush and this antifungal shampoo. Don't shove shampoo into his ear! Just clean the inside folds of the ear with shampoo. Let it drip inside the ear canal, no problem. Then using a gentle shower head with lukewarm water, flush out the entire ear, outside and inside. Let him shake his head in the tub. Repeat the rinse. All the gunk should come out. After drying out the ear with towels, fill up with Virbac Epi-Otic, smush ear till you hear tlok, tlok, tlok then let dog shake head and wipe inside of ear with paper towels. When drying out the dog, try to dry out the ear gently. Use the dog blower from Amazon $100, not a hair dryer. Repeat the cleaning as often as needed, using Virbac every two days. Most itching is from fungus not infection. The fungus comes first, then infection on top of that. Soap and water are your best friend here.
We have a big boy as well, and he is amazing. Yes, they do tend to get the occasional ear infection, but they're so worth it. We have a girl with idiopathic epilepsy, which can crop up in poodles, but she takes medication and is such a sweet girl!
As to the ear infections with your Poodle, remind your groomer NOT to get even 1 drop of water in your Poodle's ears and you won't have any ear infection happen again. It's the groomer not paying attention and allowing water in the dog's ears and then the water doesn't drain out properly and BINDO! Ear infection. Tell the groomer that you will send him/her/it the vet bill next time. Ask the groomer to use cotton balls in the dog's ears to eliminate this issue.

Poodles are THE BEST!👍♥️🇨🇦
Poodles were used to smuggle lace as well. In Europe when there must have been a tax on it
Second to the Border Collie in Intelligence..... according to a book written by a Border Collie Breeder!! Just saying...LOL
I've kept poodles 23years most intelligent dogs and very funny and loving..People friendly.
My dad and I laughed at my mother when she brought home a female miniature silver poodle puppy. However, her sweet, affectionate, cuddly, loyal and playful nature along with her intelligence soon won us over. She was the smartest little dog we had ever seen and was quite obedient and easy to train - show her something once or twice and she had it locked in. Have owned nothing but poodles ever since. Our miniature poodles also had long lives - roughly 18 to 20 years. They are very definitely worth the cost and trouble. They are very smart, intuitive, quick to learn, sweet natured, loving and protective to boot. Poodles require grooming about every 8 weeks, but these are the best dogs I have ever owned.
My family had one of those smaller poodles and she was absolutely great and sometimes really funny. In the future I'm getting a standard one :)
Awesome facts,
How about the fact that there’s also multicolored coats. Phantom, Parti, etc
This I would rate into the top 10
Mine has a patch on her chest it was more prominent during her puppy years
Our first family pup was a black Moyen and we had him for almost 15 years, our second now is one size up, balck again and almost 2 ❤
Four sizes are common in Europe. Ie in germany the "Standard" is the Groß or Königspudel (Large or King poodle) while the Mojen is known as the Kleinpudel (Small poodle). Those two are the original breeds, the Mini and Toy only get recognised in the 1930s and 1990s.
Oh and since the dog comes from Germany and France - the FCI rating is the right one.
Now I know why my standard is so short. Hes a Muyen.
No mention of the teacup poodle. Not common, but they were/are about ½ the size of the toy.
Our family used to breed standard, miniature and toy. They were all PB, registered dogs.
"Teacup" poodles are not a standard size and are made by breeding together unhealthy tiny dogs for profit only. They have a lot of health problems and should not be intentionally bred. Toy poodles are tiny enough!
Love my standard poodle Dar he is the greatest 🎉👍🙏
I have 2 st. poodles. So smart.
Poor dogd...😢 They are so sensitive
Love dogs 🙏
Love poodles!!
Poodles lean on their owners! And play w their front paws!
Yeah, Poodles rock!.
Our “Spoo”, ( Standard Poodle) a female named Jet is “unfortunately” very smart, if you know what I mean, LOL.
She’ll play us, well , we let her.
She’s a great dog!
Great video, interesting info about the Breed I wasn’t aware of!
I have a dog that is a poodle so I have a war dog
Travels with Charlie and Forty Acres and a poodle are two excellent books if you love poodles!
What about the Royal standard size? They're enormous.
Royal is a back yard breeder term. They are standard poodles (there isn’t an upper limit)

Speaking as a black man in America, this is no Jive!!!! Poodles are fantastic 😊
My toy poodle Jamie was the joy of my life! She died at age 13 yrs.
According to science, the Standard Poodle is the smartest, and Border Collie 2nd. Also, Standard Poodle size is not 25 - 30 inches at the shoulders, but 22-30.

There’s a 5th size, teacup.
Maggie knew all of this. Maggie is smart. Do you have any cheese Maggie could have?
i call myself wardog on youtube lol
I have 2 black toy poodles ❤ They have very different personalities but are both gorgeous and love their belly rubs. One loves the water and the other one hates it. She won’t even come into the pool area when we are in the pool. 😊
Sigma Poodle! Yes!
It only took a week to house break our white mini poo. Toys are less then 10 inches. Miniatures 10-14 Moyen 15 standards are even bigger. They are used for everything. Johnny Carson had a man who owned a group of poodles for sled dogs instead of huskies. They are definitely my favorite.
🐶 _Thank you good sir❗Deep down I knew that I was part warrior puppy‼_ 😛🐾
My Grandmother lived next door to us in the same apartment building . When she would get home form the store or wherever , she would complain about fresh pee in her bed. We kept watching our dog Fee Fee and sure enough! She would go through the kitchen cupboard to Grans room. She hated Gran because Gran hated dogs and she knew it! She would even meow like a cat to my Gran just to get on her nerves. Gran had 4 cats, Even when we visited Grans grave Fee Fee Peed on it.
I had a dachshund but when I migrated I could not bring her with me and it has now been 3 years without me having a dog but me and my family got a minature poodle like 1 month ago and she has just been a angel
I have never seen a poodle on any roman artifact. They are very German dogs and domesticated by the French for home use.
People freak out when my poodle (toy) goes under the water to grab a fish or stick. I didn’t teach him this.
Yes I'm the best 🐩
I have two standard poodles currently, but have had 9, counting family dogs, in my lifetime. I've always viewed them as a land bridge species. They have the build of an African dog, but the coat of a mountain farm dog. The brown and apricot tend to have a slight resemblance to the hounds (muzzle and gait), while the black ones tend to foreshadow whippets and other runners. It's an interesting and old species, and those variations might be caused by different origin stories. They didn't just come out of france or germany, that's for sure, but they likely did make their own versions.
Btw, the swimming thing is utter bs. I've had plenty of these dogs, and all of them swam, jumped off docks etc... but not a single one of them was by inclination a swimmer. They'll do anything you train them to do of course, and like to cool off by wading in, but the water itself doesn't seem to hold a draw. Contrast that with the 6 Giant Schnauzers I've had, who would spend so much time submerged they'd grow mold and self taught diving to the bottom, or any of the lab type dogs I've been around who can't get enough of it. Those are water dogs, not the poodle.
I agree. My standard poodle really doesn't like water. I tried it several times because she had an injury an swimming could have helped but she refused to go into the water all the time and I didn't want to force her.
But they were water dogs tho.. that’s why they have that coat. I think it’s because they have been watered down so much.
@@Godiscoming888 I don't think they originally were water dogs at all. They have a high altitude, super stinky ungroomed, defensively matted farm dog coat if anything, same as the Komodors. I get that it can have some properties that are decent in the water when subject to an insane grooming regimen, but that's not a realistic old timey origin for it considering how poor of a time investment that grooming is pre-electricity. They also look exactly like muscular and curly salukis or afghan hounds when really shaved, and nothing like the euro shepherd or central asian mastiff breeds.
I basically think they are a pretty when shaved, easily trained, all arounder that came up from Africa with farmers. The Europeans were heavily into standardization and categorization at the time and the poodle was locked in at that point to what it looks like now (and then used in the creation of many modern breeds bc they had distinctly different traits from the mastiffs and shepherds on hand). I think retrieving was the just nobility sport attached to that.
@@OnkyoGrady very interesting take…love independent thinkers. So would you say they were a utility farm dog? What specific purpose would they be used for? I have a hard time believing they were from Africa as a lot of standard poodles don’t do well in heat. I’m in Canada and my boy loves the extremely cold weather and doennt like being outside when it’s summer. I hear that a lot from other standard poodles owners as well.
The coat is also water resistant.
@@Godiscoming888 yeah northern Africa or more likely the Middle east. Plenty of cold higher altitude farming and herding communities, and that type of coat is flexible in that context. Short if needed, long smelly and armored when not. Its also where the mtn herding dogs would blend with Africa dogs historically speaking to provoke that coat.
My experience is poodles are phenoms in the heat when shaved, no idea what those people are talking about unless they are leaving the body long mid summer. I totally shave my dogs tho, unless there's a puppy in house, which is abnormal poodling ill admit. Their cold tolerance, puppy tolerance, affection desire and energy levels are entirely dependant on the coat length matching the weather, which is why i detest traditional poodle cuts.
The only thing French about the poodles is that they breed them to be lap dogs from the larger of the breed fro Germany.
Isn't there a giant poodle? I remember meeting a black poodle that stood as high as a Great Dane and it's owner said he was a giant poodle. Idk if that's a thing or if he was just a massive standard. Also he did NOT look mixed at all, very pure bred features and coat.
I've seen some posts that are calling an unusually large Standard size "Royal".
Standard Poodles can get very big
For as being a war dog my standard poodle must have some of that training in him because everyone he sees when out walking him you would swear he's about to eat them up and everyone be scared of him i guess cause his size he's fluffy as well as his face he stand up tall when sees people, he luv to protect me, and he not good with dogs no more every since i took him to the dog park when he was little and about five dogs jumped him had him scared but now he's mean to the dogs from that attack cant even take him to dog parks no more
I’m glad you didn’t say that “teacup” is a real verity.
I love German Shepherds as they are majestic and fiercely protective. I had several of them, all rescued as adults and seniors. Unswerving loyalty to the point of being your best friend. There was only one god in a GSD's life and that was you. But GSDs are a full time job as they need physical workouts and mental workouts, lots of brushing and vacuuming, and a huge amount of food to cook. You cannot take them everywhere which saddened me, and they are a liability if they nip as they tend to do being herders. You really have to be careful with GSDs around people. If someone raises their arm or points a toy gun...!!! Even with no training, their instincts take over and you are well protected. So I downsized to my first small dog... I rescued a mini poodle.
I did a lot of reading on breeds and finally settled on a poodle. Went looking at all the shelters till I found a senior dog who was blind and a mini poodle. I took him out into the sunlight and he looked dazed. He had about 25% vision.
Remy and I traveled all over and he saw all 21 historic California Missions with me in my RV. He is so sweet. Follows me like a lamb, gets along with all dogs, cats, people, birds, everything. However, when a pit bull charged at him, he attacked him back, right on the nose and the pit bull ran for the hills, too funny! I learned to groom him myself and its a pleasure to cut his hair and trim his nails and I now do all the neighborhood dogs too. If I am in another room too long, Remy comes and checks up on me. I can take him in the shopping cart inside the store, in my car everywhere and I am sure he would do well in an office too if he were not blind. He is so smart that even blind he understands everything. We walk every evening along with a Malti Poo I rescued too, also blind. They know their way and have great trust I will clear their path and trot along with confidence. Being blind, they cannot run and fetch, or chase other dogs, but enjoy sniffing new smells and small hikes. Remy can do 4-5 mile hikes, even at 16 yrs of age! I feed them very good home cooked meat, veggies, fish, eggs, yoghurt, and supplements. Its all in the food.
I've noticed that both my dogs have eye and teeth issues. Its a small dog problem. I have to be extra vigilant about teeth brushing and eye care. Apart from that, there is zero shedding, what a joy! I can take them with me which is so nice. They don't scare people, my insurance rates don't go up, and they eat small meals, take up little space in car and house, and are very pleasant companions. Best of all, their intelligence matches the German Shepherd smarts, so I don't miss my GSDs. I will never go back to big dogs or other breeds. This is the breed for me. Remy is highly intelligent, almost like a person. I wonder if the Toy Poodle is a better choice than Mini Poodle? Anyone have knowledge?
I have had 3 toy poodles and they have been a delight, especially the last one. She just adored me unselfishly.
She never bit anyone. She Did not get underfoot while following me everywhere. When I would leave without her, she would watch out the front window for my return. When I had a foot surgery and had to stay in bed for weeks, she sensed my vulnerability, and stayed at my feet guarding me. She lived a wonderful 18 years. I will see her in heaven.
The only difference between Toys and Miniatures is size. Some claim that Toys are more nervous or more barky but I don't think that is true. It is more the people who allow the dog to get nervous or be nervous or anxious. I love Toys, Miniatures, Moyens and Standard Poodles. ALL are wonderful. Thank you for sharing about your experiences with GSDs! My dad raised AKC registered GSDs as police dogs, trained them and sold them all over the South. None of them ever alerted as well as a Poodle (of any size) for my Type 1 Diabetes though. For a diabetic alert service dog, please dear Lord, give me a Poodle to save my life. Thanks!
Lady Gaga also had toy poodles. 😊
I love my moyen poodle.
The only fact I know of you missed was Poodles are hypoallergenic and don't shed.
Love the video, but it failed to show the accepted bicolor poodles that were found in paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries
yes that too
That's a good one! Thanks for letting me know.
@@TheSmartCanine The Parti Poodles cannot be registered with the AKC though, only solid colors are allowed to be registered. the Parties and the Phantoms have their fan clubs though and are just as sweet as the rest. Thank you!
I've read about a pack of feral dogs at Rio de Janeiro in a forest, they were led by a poodle.
Did you really say their coat keeps vital organs dry? Lol. You meant warm....see 4:30
Poodles are from Germany not France.
Everything I've read recently on the topic seems to disagree that they came from either. The most persuasive origin theory I've seen is a mid to high altitude farm dog from northern Africa or the ME. The med region seems to have lots of potential sightings in primitive art, and the poodle build (africa) and coat (west asian sheep guard dog) match up to the region as well. I bet there was breeding work done in both France and Germany to solidify and formalize the breed at some point though, and that's likely where that version of the origin came from.
I got a poodel
Like how humans just add a name to a small standard. Like they all have to be exactly the same.
People need to use “trainability” instead of “intelligence”. The level of independence or stubbornness will affect a dogs WILLINGNESS to learn and/or obey , just as a humans will.
But they learn eerily fast. Sometimes I just show him something and he gets it in like 2 reps. Labs and Goldens do not learn nearly as fast. He also learns just by watching.
Me growing up with boxers and bullmastiff and wondering why they can’t swim lol
As a German: Pudelin?!?
The only word I would recognise sounds similar is Puder (powder) or probably Puter (turkey - the bird).
Poodel is Pudel in German though.
The word Puddel seems more similar to the German word for poodel.
I'm confused.
