Some people think of Poodles as not being real dogs, though for anyone that has owned them, they are more than real ? they are surreal. You would certainly end up being amazed by the sheer intelligence of the breed, which is almost humanesque. They are also very good learners that are given to having a high degree of creativity and they are also not averse to being the star of the show. However, it would be wrong to think of every Poodle as possessing the same personality because the personality will vary much and the personality may often reflect as well as compliment the personality of their owner.

Also, Poodles are the most pampered and thus can easily be spoiled by their owners though that does not take away from their impressive presence as well as aura of superiority, which can only be attributed to their most impressive history. So, don’t be surprised when your Poodle prances about elegantly or holds himself proudly and shows what a noble creature he really is.

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.

However, because they are small in size, they do not make good guard dogs, though their personality is one of boldness as well as confidence and they will also not easily back down from other animals or even from strangers. When it concerns letting the Poodle loose in the company of children, it is better to err on the side of safety and thus ensure that he is supervised because often children won’t know how to handle this small bundle of joy and thus may ill-treat him which would make the Poodle lose his trust in children and thus he won’t relish the company of small children and may soon become unpredictable around them.

You can expect to be pleasantly surprised to learn that despite their small size Poodles are really quite strong physically and thus should be kept leashed to prevent any accidents from taking place.

It goes without saying that Poodles are excellent pet dogs that possess a good nature and are also very intelligent dogs that can adapt well to any surroundings. Poodles love human company and so require a lot of attention and love. And once they are showered with love and affection will soon develop a strong bond with their owners that will last throughout their lifetime.

However, the Poodle is also a creature that expects and loves stability as well as requires following a set routine and will not take kindly to changes in his routine or to being exposed to chaotic environments.

Also, Poodles love to be taken for rides in a car and will jump at any opportunity to be on the road. He is also very easily trained and is a friendly soul that has a sweet disposition as well.
