Standard Poodle overview
The Standard Poodle originated in Germany as a herd-guarding and water retrieving dog. Calm, dependable, reliable and responsive, they are easily obedience trained and make good companions, guard dogs and retrievers. The Standard Poodle has retained a lot of its working instincts.
Standard Poodles are good with children, like both hot and cold climates, and despite their size are suitable to the urban environment. The woolly, springy, curly and resilient coat requires both regular grooming and frequent trimming. They do not shed which makes them ideal for people with allergies.
The Standard Poodle is the largest size in the Poodle breed followed by the Miniature Poodle and the Toy Poodle.
