A brilliant, low-shedding all-rounder.
The Poodle is a highly intelligent water-retrieving breed that comes in Standard, Miniature and Toy sizes. Famous for its curly, low-shedding coat and elegant show trims, it is one of the smartest and most trainable dogs, excelling in obedience, agility and companionship.
Poodles are exceptionally quick learners that thrive on training, games and problem-solving — a bored Poodle will invent its own entertainment. They are affectionate, sensitive and eager to please, and the smaller varieties can be reserved with strangers. All sizes need mental stimulation as much as physical exercise.

The curly coat sheds minimally but keeps growing and mats readily, so it needs brushing every few days plus professional grooming every 4–6 weeks. This makes Poodles higher-maintenance on grooming than their low-shedding reputation suggests. They are athletic and need regular exercise.
