Common Traits Of Black And Brown Standard Poodles

By Janet Bailey


Pets are more than just animals - they become members of the family. This is a major reason why it is extremely important to make sure that the dog one chooses has characteristics and tendencies that are going to be a comfortable fit with the one's lifestyle. Before adopting breeds such as black and brown standard Poodles, there are things of which potential owners should be aware.

One of the earliest breeds, the Poodle is very popular today. The name is German in origin from one which means "to splash in water", which is fitting. Although originally bred to help hunt waterfowl, they quickly became a sign of high stature and class when interest was shown in them by the French aristocracy.

They are easily recognizable because of their unique way of being groomed. The style may first appear to be quite pompous, though it originally served very practical purposes for this breed's work. When the fur was removed from areas like the long portion of the bones and in the middle, the animal became lighter and less likely for its coat to snag on debris under the water, while clumps of hair left around the joints and vital organs served as insulation to protect them from the cold.

They are built very squarely as the Poodle's height measured at the withers is the same as its body's length. Their moderately rounded skulls have a flat front with than elongated, straight muscle. Some of the most prominent primary physical traits include small arched feet with toes, a stiff upright tail that is set high on the rear, long flap-like ears hanging along the sides of its head, and eyes which are oval shaped, dark, and set far apart.

This is a very proud breed and carries itself as such, exaggerating its elegant appearance. Its gait is light, athletic, and springy. And its coat may be tightly curled or corded.

The Poodle is known for having an exceptional level of intelligence. They can be incredibly clever and take to training quickly, which makes them a top breed in terms of obedience. One thing owners need to understand is that this ability to learn fast also means that they are likely to take on negative habits just as easily as good ones, so remaining consistent in both training and discipline is necessary.

Because of their high intelligence, these pups need to be mentally stimulated by activities such as playing fetch, obedience games, and obstacle training. Natural leadership abilities and being so intelligent puts them at risk of developing a condition called Alpha Dog Syndrome - where they see themselves as in control of their household - so owners need to regularly make sure the dog knows who is in charge. Since these dogs are very family centered and become very sensitive to moods and attached to the point of suffering separation anxiety, a second pet is recommended.

They are adaptable to both hot or cold climates, as well as nearly any living conditions, as they average about 65lbs and 18" in shoulder height. Their popularity among allergy sufferers is high since this breed produces little to no dander and are considered hypoallergenic. One should be fully committed to this relationship as they can live as long as eighteen years or more.
