There are many myths flying around out there about giving your Poodle a bone.  The truth is, there are good bones and bad bones.  The bad bones you DO NOT want to give your Poodles are the cooked or dried bones with out any meat on them.  They tend to be very brittle and can break and splinter off causing a whole world of problems.  The raw bare bones are also not such a good idea especially for puppies since their teeth aren’t strong enough yet and could break.  These ones don’t have any meat on them and your dog chewing on these could possibly break their teeth.  The best bones to give your dog are raw bones with lots of meat on them. They are good for a few reasons, they help your dog build strength in the jaw and strong teeth, they help clean plaque and tartar and the meat gives them some nutritional benefits as well.

I would recommend  taking the bone away from your dog shortly after they chew off all the meat.  It’s also never really a good idea to leave a bone with your dogs when you are not around, if they swallowed a big chunk of it they could choke and no one would be around to help them.  Nylon bones are another good alternative for your dogs.  There are always options!

All poodles combined are generally given a number of different haircuts for personal pets as well as for show purposes.  Some of the examples of show clips include the Second Puppy, English Saddle Clip, and Continental Clip.  Each of these clips will accentuate different parts of the poodle body, allowing the tail and the face to be free of fur in order to be easily examined.  Some pet owners also prefer to have their standard poodles’ coats corded, which is a way of curling the hair in neater patterns of rope like strands.

As you already know, the poodle is a highly intelligent breed of dog.  They like to be active and to interact with other people.  As a result, owners who might not be in their homes often may not want to choose a poodle.  The poodle might become restless and begin to stir up trouble in your absence.  Overall, their temperaments are sweet and alert.  And while their frilly appearance might seem otherwise, this is actually a breed that is designed for hunting.

Since the standard poodle is eager to please, this is a pet that will be perfect for those who live alone and for those who don’t want a dog that just sits around and sleeps.  They like to run around, to exercise, and to go for daily walks.  They can provide activity for those who are homebound, while also being interactive enough to provide pleasant company.

Poodles are hypoallergenic so if you have allergies to pets such as cats or dogs; a poodle won’t give you any problems! They are protective over their loved ones and make great family pets since they are great with children as well. These dogs are very prim and proper and don’t shed or have and odor so that’s a big bonus right there!
