When it comes to poodles you have three sizes to choose from — standard, miniature and toy. Whichever you choose, don’t mistake the poodle for a simple lap dog. They are athletic, smart and fun for the whole family.
Poodles are still very much working dogs at heart — they were once great hunters of waterfowl, and their ornate grooming reflects that history.
