Poodles are very pleasing to the eye and this fact is buttressed even more when you take into account its extreme intelligence and its very endearing nature that makes every aspect of his personality truly work to its advantage. In terms of physique, the Poodle is small though tough and he may either have a corded coat or one that is curly and the colors will vary, though black and white are most common. Also, the corded coated Poodle is very rarely found in America though the three main varieties found in America and also in the rest of the world are the Standard, Toy and Miniature Poodle.
There is a lot to praise as far as the personality of the Poodle goes including his uncanny ability to grasp things easily and quickly, and Poodles are also very energetic and are often clownish because they are able to perform numerous cute tricks that will never fail to please everyone that comes into contact with them. The intelligence of the Poodle is truly remarkable and he is also very adaptable and versatile and has changed considerably from originally being a hunting dog to the great family pet that he is today.
Poodles love the company of humans and they are particularly good even in the company of children. And because they also instinctively have both the characteristics of a hunting dog as too very well developed retrieving instincts, they are well suited to acting as watchdogs, particularly in the case of the Standard Poodle. Nevertheless, even the Miniature as well as Toy versions are effective watchdogs and will readily warn you about the presence of strangers.
Poodles would have made excellent guard dogs as well but their small size is a limiting factor though even then the Poodle is a very bold animal and he also exudes much confidence and is not known to easily back down when facing other animals and even strangers.
Though Poodles are docile creatures, when left to play with small children, it is still advisable to supervise them because in the presence of children who may not know how to treat with a Poodle, it could lead to him being ill treated, thus leading to the Poodle losing its trust in children and acting unpredictably as a consequence.
By nature, the Poodle is not a loner and thus does not like being left by him, and actually thrives most when he is the center of attraction. Poodles can learn tricks and are easy to train and are easily one of the most obedient dog breeds and they are proud animals that also love to do tricks for you.
Another feature about the breed is that a Poodle has hair that grows much like human hair grows and it continues growing, unlike other dogs whose hair stops growing when they have reached a certain length.
He is also a one-man and one-family pet that can often become very shy when in the presence of strangers and will even take to barking if he does not know someone. However, when given time to settle into his new home, the Poodle will make an excellent pet and also a good guard dog.
