Poodles

No, I don't think so but in some cases they cut off the tail because there's an infection and they don't want the infection to spread. With Collie and Aussies they cut off the tail when they are born. Also some dogs are born with short tails. But I personally think that you can ask your vet; he/she would be very happy to answer.

No, there isn't any visible shedding you will see, their fur does fall out but is so curly that it falls back into their fur that's why they need brushing every other day or they will get matted and tangled.

No, they are not real just doll poodle skirts.

I have seen canned pumpkin recommended for constipation in animals.

Yes, they certainly do.

I've heard that a puppies penis can dry out and it hurts a lot. You should talk to a vet

My toy poodles are 14 pounds (overweight) and my healthy 7 month old is 9 pounds, and that's how heavy they usually get.

No, it would be too large for the female dog and the puppies will hard for the female to give birth to. Female possibly could die. It's best to breed a smaller male with your poodle or at least the same size, but smaller is better.

I have a 7 month old shih poo puppy, she is all black and has a lovely personality but as with every breed there can be different temperament with every dog but over all the breed is so caring and considerate.

No you can't. They'll start crying and start biting you.

A Shih Tzu is a toy breed dog. By AKC standards they reach around 8-11 inches in height and weigh anywhere from 9-16 pounds. They were a favorite of the Chinese Emperors, who had them bred as companion dogs. They come from the mixing of the Pekingnese and the Lhapso Apso. A unique characteristic of this dog is that is doesn't have fur, it has hypo-allergenic hair so it doesn't shed. This hair grows faster than fur so you have to cut it more often (if you want shorter hair you'll have to cut it every 1-2 months depending on the temperature and on how long you want to allow it to grow). Note that as with human hair the hair of Shih Tzu's tends to get dirty easily and can tangle easily. If you want your Shih Tzu to have long hair it needs to be combed at least once a day. Shih Tzu's are low-riders. Their frame is similar to that of a Chow Chow. Their legs are sturdy, but short. They have bulky bodies. But don't let this fool you - they are extremely fast runners. Like any dog, upbringing and training affect it's personality. Shih Tzu's can be good around kids, but they must be brought up with kids. Though note that Shih Tzu's can be moody at times. Shih Tzu's are a very strong-willed and independent breed. They are known to be hard to train at times. They value their independence and often times they will do what they want to do, regardless if you are the Alpha or not. A zoo with no animals in it (shitzoo)

It's best to let a dog groomer do this task on a Poodle. If they are not groomed properly they can certainly lose their looks. Poodles are one dog that many people admire and are also extremely intelligent. Shop around and get different prices on groomers. I have a groomer come to my home and I own a Bichon Frise and a Cockapoo and she charges $35 to $50 for both dogs depending on how much hair she has to cut off. This also includes nail cutting, ear cleaning and expressing my Bichon's anal glands. She does a terrific job and it's so convenience and less traumatic for my dogs to be groomed in our home. I bath them the night before and brush them well before the dog groomer comes over.

Standard poodles can grow to be tall and beautiful. They range from 15 and a half inches from the top of their back (shoulder) which is a small standard to 27 inches tall. They have thick coats with long ears and webbed feet.

I hear some poodles can run over 20 miles an hour, they love to run.

buy flea treatment and get a flea repellant collar and brush them daily

PLEASE DO NOT create more mixed breed dogs on purpose!! Shelters are already full of them.

(And no, you can NOT "make a lot of money" breeding mutts!)

A teroodle.

because back in the day poodles used to be water dogs and they didnt want their tails to get caught in things

Usually at 8 or nine months of age they are done growing.

Currently I have been looking after a pom. I have dog cat allergies I have had the pom for a week now and was a badly affected when I got him but I am now starting to come through and my body not notice him being around. I have read many things saying that they are not good for allergies others say they are. With allergies it is all down to what affects u it could be saliva or their dander all dogs have dander and poms are said to release less dander. however they can shed alot of hair but this generally gets trapped in there under coat and will need brushing out so doesn't matt. My suggestion if u are thinking of getting a pom or any dog is to visit a breeder spend time with this breed you will soon know. However that been said for most people it takes a month to get used to the dog my brother was very by but after a month was fine with his do which is a collie. After looking after this pom I am thinking of keeping him so they can't be that bad as I used to really suffer. Unfortunately with allergies it is specific to the individual and the dog. I have found I am also ok with cockapoodle, poodles and chitzus. I have I find it's dogs which have less dander regardless of how much hair they shed. Hope this has helped alittle. But I couldn't confirm u will be ok with a pom. They are however dogs with slot of character.

Poodles do not loose fur. They are hypoallergenic and do not shed.

Poodles do not shed. I have one myself and they don't shed. They might bite out their fur if they having itching and is bothering them like humans hair. Poodles need grooming regularly which means brushed with a wire slicker brush so their hair doesn't mat up. Hair cut and a bath every one to two months at least. Brush their hair everyday, remember poodles hair never stops growing.

Poodles do shed. The only dogs that do not shed are the hairless breeds. However when poodles shed the hair remains in their coats rather than falling off. If not groomed frequently the dead hair will become matted and be difficult to remove. In severe cases the mats could cause sores.

Poodles shed little or no hair at all.

Please review the web site below in the related links. This clears up any questions. I started re searching because it doesn't make since to me that the poodle breed doesn't shed at all. I have a poodle myself but we never see hair (fur) on the floor or the couch, hummm!!! Anyway, it turns out they really do shed (almost every animal or creature sheds something). When poodles shed the hair falls back into their own hair because poodles hair is not slippery like say a German shepherd or Dalmatian dog. Plus poodles only have a single coat where as other dogs may have a thick double coat.

yes poodles are smarter. the german shepherd is the third smartest dog, and the poodle is the second, the border collie is first.

in my training classes-i'm a trainer-, the poodles are always at the head of the class.

they are the most trainable of all dogs too.

while border collies are stubborn, poodles want to please. they can be taught many complicated tricks and are good service dogs because they are gentle and bond strongly to their people.

A poodle should be brushed daily and bathed when required. Poodles don't need weekly bathing unless there is a underlying skin problem and your Vet has recommended this. As a rule of thumb, bathe your poodle when his coat looks dirty or he smells doggy. Brush his fur as you're drying him with a hair dryer and he will fluff up.

A poodle should be groomed regularly and styled into one of the poodle cuts every 6-8 weeks. Sometimes you can wait as long as 12 weeks providing you keep the ears plucked and the feet trimmed yourself.
