The Poodle is an affectionate, always cheerful and energetic family dog. Player, he is the ideal companion for children. He is considered one of the smartest dogs in the world. He loves to learn and is ready to perform all kinds of tricks to please his master. This is why he is highly receptive to training.

The Poodle is very close to his master and shows him unwavering loyalty. He even has a slight tendency to hoard her, as he constantly seeks her attention and affection. The Poodle basically needs companionship and hates loneliness. If he is left to himself, he loses his zest for life and can become a barker and neurotic.

The Poodle can be a good guardian, because he is very alert and barks at the slightest intrusion. It is therefore preferable to socialize the Poodle at a young age with humans, animals and groomers. Well educated, the Poodle is sociable and welcomes everyone with demonstrations of joy.

Behind the elegant appearance of the Poodle hides an athletic dog. Regular exercise is necessary to burn off excess energy. Quick-witted, he constantly needs mental stimulation: games, agility and obedience classes, etc. His past as a hunting dog makes him particularly fond of fetch games and swimming.
