History of Poodles
Fantastic dogs for those looking for friendly, easy to train pets for well mannered canine companionship. Originally bred to be retrievers used in duck hunting and are excellent in the water. Very intelligent, athletic dogs, so are often trained for agility and sporting competitions. Great dog types for people who suffer from allergies that cause symptoms such as breathing difficulties and runny eyes, plus house-proud owners or those who simply dislike housework. 😉
Care and MaintENANCE Required for breed
Poodles are known for many amazing qualities. One of the foremost, being that they are hypoallergenic. Poodles don't have fur. They are covered in hair, which attributes to them being hypoallergenic. With only one coat, they don't shed, because of this they require regular grooming and higher maintenance. Besides keeping your poodle looking regal, regular grooming can keep you in the know in regard to his or her health. (Hair loss, Rashes, and dandruff can be an indication of underlying issues.) Recommended: Full grooming every 3-6 weeks with brushing and combing.
