How do you care for my miniature French poodle?

Answer 1

Tips: 1. Make sure it has its shots before going out(PAY ATTENTION! It's very tempting to show your baby off to other people, I know) Puppies require about 3 rounds of shots separated by 1-2 week intervals, until they have had all of them, the previous shots are of no use, your puppy is still not immune to illness. Parvo is a killer among puppies, and can live in an area for up to a YEAR, it is NOT safe to take your puppy anywhere other dogs have been, or been touched...safest place for your puppy is at home until all the shots are complete. 2. Give it good food. If your puppy is still small and can't bite or chew yet, soften and MASH the food with water and a spoon. Clean its bowl before and after giving it food. Also, give it clean water and be sure to check if there's still a lot left every couple of hours. 3. Buy a nice bed or cage. Have a separate place where it can poop and pee and train it to go to its business there. 4. If it you catch it in the act of chewing or pottying in the house, point your finger at it and say a loud and firm"NO!". Do NOT scold the dog unless you see him/her doing it, or else he/she will have no idea what you are scolding him for. Don't ever hit your dog or rub it's nose in it's urine or feces, you are only installing fear, and the dog will hide to do it's business in the house, making your job more difficult in potty training. 5. When you bring it out, put it on a leash, a carrier or stroller. Make sure you put newspaper on the bottom of the carrier. Bring a water bottle and make it comfortable. Bring food in case it gets hungry or if you go out when it has its feeding time. When you bring it on vacation, bring all the things that are necessary for your trip or vacation. If you want, you can buy some dog diapers or baby diapers and pierce holes in them. 6. Buy it chew toys, squeaky toys or any type. As long as they have some and you don't want to play with them, they'll be happy to amuse themselves. Make sure to check back though. ;) You never know what will happen if you leave a bored dog with a stuffed toy. 7. If you're going to give it a bath, use warm water and good shampoo/conditioner/soap. Be fast because you don't want your dog to be freezing and maybe getting bath phobia or catching some sickness. Blow dry it for shih tzus. :D 8. NEVER feed your dog chocolate, chocolate is toxic to canines. :D

9. Excercise. A daily 45 minute walk is good. 10. Give it lots of love and care, socialize it, play with it and have fun!!! These tips apply to poodles and shih tzus too. :D Hope this helps! 11: Poodles should be groomed atleast once a month, or no longer than every 2 months if kept up at home. Use a comb, not a brush to get all the way down to the skin. Feed a healthy diet. RAW is the best diet out there, commercial dog food is HORRIBLE regardless of price or how well it's advertised. It's safe to feed dogs chicken, they are immune to Salmonella, unlike humans...infact, we are the only ones who COOK our food for good reason. Start with chicken, and after a few weeks, let them have at it...beef, pork, ribs, tripe, raw eggs..etc, ....research! 12: Don't hit your dog! EVER!

Answer 2

You need to groom your poodle daily and have him or her clipped by a groomer whom is qualified to clip poodles every 6-8 weeks. You also need to check your poodles ears daily and remove any wax and hair from inside the ear canal.

Poodles reguire regular exercise and attention and healthy set meals a day.
