The Standard Poodle
Poodles are sensitive and remarkably intelligent and responsive breeds. There are three sizes (standard, miniature, and toy). All size are playful, energetic, affectionate and eager to please their owner. They enjoy working and get along well with other animals. Miniature and toy poodles may be more reserved with strangers and less tolerant of children than standard poodles unless introduced to them at an early age. They like to bark when someone comes to the door and make good watchdogs for their size but are not aggressive. Poodles do well in cities as long as they get enough exercise
and social interaction. Photo courtesy of www.corbis.com Click on the links below to get to a region. The number in the "#" section represent the number of breeders for a region. |

In France the standard poodle was used often as a water retriever and
circus dog. Despite the claims of several other countries, France has
now been officially recognized as its country of origin.
