I have two poodles and one cat and they are the best of friends. Poodles are very loyal and mischievous characters and they require a lot of attention. They also have the added benefit of being hypoallergenic. Poodles seem to accept most animals but as the previous posted said they do require time and special training.
Poodles who grow up with other dogs or any pets together have the chance to enjoy their company otherwise they may need some time and special training to help him accept a newcomer.
They vary in price if they are pedigree or not. Usually they range from £600 - £800. Possibly less.
A poodle is the national dog of France. It weighs very little if you can see. It weighs about 4-15 pounds I'd say? Well, I guess that's probably the most reasonable answer.
Hope this helped guys `:)
How do you know when your min poodle is in heat?
If you do not want to breed with your female poodle, separate her from other male dogs and do not let her get into contact with any male dogs as she will display herself.
If you do not want a litter, you should consider having your female spayed.
How do french poodles protect themselves?
A domestic dog, if threatened, has a few options. The first (if the threat is from another dog) is submission. Submissive behaviour deescalates the situation and causes the aggressor to lose interest, having established its dominance. Running away is also an option.
Secondly it can meet aggression with aggression. It will bark, growl, stand in a way to make it look as large and threatening as possible, in an attempt to intimidate the aggressor.
If it comes to a fight, a poodle has its teeth, and also a loose skin, which means that even if an attacker is able to bite hold of it at the back of the neck, it is still able to move its head in order to bite the attacker.
What is the average weight for a miniature toy poodle?
A toy poodle will be 10 inches and under. Weight depends on age and how much the owner feeds them, if, they feed him a lot of junk food he will be overweight. Toy poodles might weight up to 15 pounds.
How big do mini Bernedoodles get?
There is no such thing as a mini golden retriever unless it is a mix with a smaller dog, but even so, they are not called mini golden retrievers.
There is a Petite Golden Retriever that gets to about 35 lbs. They look like Golden Retriever puppies even when grown.
Are poodles smarter then other dogs?
Yes, very smart. I have two and they look at my husband and I right in our eyes when we are talking to them. They really listen and learn fast. I will never have any dog except a poodle from now on. A little headsup, they are vocal and bark a lot because they are protective of their home.
Pugs do have fur, which is why they shed.
Dogs that have hair need to be taken to groomers regularly for a haircut and they don't shed. However, some pugs don't have much fur and will need a jacket or sweater during the fall and winter.
Can you give your little poodle Tylenol?
You should never give Tylenol to a dog, regardless of the formulation or dose - dogs are not small humans and do not react well to human medications. Even a small dose of Tylenol can be fatal for a dog, and this goes for all the different versions including children's Tylenol, Tylenol arthritis, Tylenol PM, etc.
Certain over-the-counter drugs can be used, but NOT Tylenol (Acetaminophen) or Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen). These are very bad for your dogs liver and kidneys and the damage is not reversible. Naproxen (Aleve) should never be used.
Aspirin can be used for short term minor pain but you must get the dosage correct or liver and kidney damage can result. Do not use this long term or it can be detrimental your dog's health and make symptoms worse.
There are specific prescription pain medications designed for dogs like Rimadyl which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory good for arthritis and chronic pain.
How many puppies to toy poodle have in her first batch?
The more often you breed a dog the harder it is on her system. The older she is, the harder it is as well. Good breeders only breed their females beginning at the age of two or older until about four or five years of age. After this, it can become harmful for the animal. Another reason responsible breeders retire their females after a short breeding career is due to the fact that as the dog gets older (male or female) the chance of testicular and ovarian cancer (as well as an impossibly broad spectrum of other diseases and ailments) is increased after a certain age and length of years breeding. In short, only a few times (possibly a maximum of 4 or 5 times) before breeding the dog is harmful and irresponsible.
How much is the cost of a toy poodle trained to be a therapy dog?
For insurance purposes, service dogs costs $5,000-$25,000 for replacement.
This is the figure that is charged without any donated support, or as a fine to someone that kills or harms a service dog.
Most schools charge very little to the disabled recipient, from $1 - $500.
The school covers the costs of the dog through donations, grants and public assistance programs. A great many volunteers help train and raise the dog, further lowing the cash cost.
After assignment the cost to keep a dog is about $100 a month for pet food, treats and the occasional vet bill. Service Dogs must be bathed more often, usually weekly to be clean for public access.
The cost of a service dog depends on where you get the service dog from. Some agencies have the total cost covered by corporate donations. Others want you to raise some or all of the money to pay for the dog. If you owner train your service dog the costs involved are the purchase of the dog, the day to day care of the dog plus any training costs. (which will be the largest chunk of the expenses).I know about a institution (i:e animalidshop.com) where you can get service dog at a very affordable price.

Do poodles trigger allergic rhinitis?
The Poodle is a non-shedding breed, and a good choice for people with allergies. Many allergic people are able to keep a Poodle with no reaction.
However not all dog allergies are to just the dog dander; some people are allergic to dog saliva so there would still be a reaction. See if you can visit a breeder to see if you aren't sure if you are allergic.
How do you potty train a poodle?
There are many different methods that vary from breed to breed but I think this one works the best, especially for small dogs that you can easily carry:
- Get a "pee mat" for your pup that is quite big and soaks up things and put it in a quiet corner in your house.
- Your puppy will pee in the house at first, you must admit this but you can encourage it to step outside and do its business in the garden.
- When your pup takes a leak don't say anything to it, pick it up wihtout stroking or fussing over it and place it on the mat. Make sure you DO NOT shout at it or else it will think it's bad to pee and will get a negative view of you.
- Whenever the pup wals off the mat take it back there but don't wait for it to come off. Each time don't say anything apart from telling it to sit.
- Eventually, when the dog sits, leave it there for 5 minutes and then return. You can now fuss over your dog an tell it how good it is. Play with it and stroke it and move the mat out of the way.
- Over time your dog will start to associate peeing with the mt and should go there when it wants to pee. Everytime you see this praise the dog.
- Eventually when you see the dog walking over to the pee mat, bring it outside and reassure it to go there. If it goes on the grass praise it but never tell your dog off.
- When your pup has got the idea that toilet = outside you can get rid of the pee mat and continue to praise the dog for going in the garden until it becomes normal to it.
- Enjoy your pee free house!
How often to bathe a standard poodle?
Dogs should not be bathed daily. It removes all the natural oils from their coats. They need far fewer baths than people.
It the dog is a house dog or lap dog it should not require more than six complete baths in a year.
How old poodles have to be before they get sold?
A safe age would be eight weeks, after the dog is fully weaned from it's mother and is eating puppy dry food.
Generally it is around 6 months old. Some dogs don't go into heat until they are passed a year old. Never breed your dog on a first heat. Research before breeding. Find a mentor, but don't just breed her. She will be in heat for at least 21 days. Continue keeping her away from other dogs though until you are absolutely sure she is no longer in heat. I have a dog that stays in heat 5 weeks minimum! She's always been that way.
What ear shape does a poodle have?
Poodles have very cute floppy ears that should hang down past his mouth. The hair will continue to grow unless you trim it. Their ears do not stand up. You can look up on google "adult bichon frisé." They have poodle ears, but they are a little smaller!
Puppy mills are breeding facilities that produce purebred puppies in large numbers. Often the puppies are sold directly to the public via the Internet, newspaper ads, or at the mill itself. In other cases they are sold to brokers and pet shops across the country. For the unwitting consumer, this situation frequently means buying a puppy facing an array of immediate veterinary problems or harboring genetic diseases that surface years later. The puppies don't have any papers. It's probably the worst place in the world for animals.
