Poodles, whether Standard, Miniature, or Toy, and in black, white, or apricot, are aristocrats of the dog world. With their curly, hypoallergenic coat, they are elegant athletes and year-round companions. They come in three sizes, but all share the same build. While often seen in elaborate show clips, they are actually eager, athletic, and highly intelligent dogs. Standards excel as athletes, but all Poodles are highly trainable and versatile. Forget any misconceptions; Poodles are remarkable in every way.
