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.

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.

Standard Poodles, however, require a bit more exercising than do the toy and miniature versions and the reason for this is their bigger size.

Also, you will not face any trouble in training your Poodle though he does not like being caged, and is, in fact quite a free-bird if truth be told.

It would not be wrong to say that Poodles will make excellent pets and they also possess a good nature that along with their intelligence will help them to adapt to any kind of surroundings. What’s more, Poodles love attention and require to be showered with plenty of love and care, but they will also bond well with family members and in the process will easily form a close attachment that will last all through their life.

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.
