Once you own a poodle, you will be spoil for life

*Frequently Asked Questions*

 

Question : "DO MALES OR FEMALES MAKE BETTER PETS?"

 Tough question!  It depends on a variety of factors.   However, if you will allow a sweeping generality, for many people, a male is more loving and less moody than a female!   Sorry girls, we are not making a gender slam, but we think it is a hormonal thingy!   Females seem at different times to be less tolerant and less affectionate than males.   Females also tend to bond to one person, whereas males more or less will bond to a family.   We are not really sure that neutering is the answer to this issue either. 

 Question: "HOW DO YOU HOUSEBREAK A (DOG) POODLE?"

 Well the bad news is you don't!  Now before you freak out, let us explain.   The odds are good that your dog will train you!   By that we mean, in time you will learn the signals that your pet(s) give you around the time that their voiding needs arise.   For example, your dog may walk rapidly around the room sniffing the floor just before he does anything.  I f you are paying close attention, that is the precise moment to take him outside or to the preferred place you want him to do his business.   Some dogs adhere to a very rigid schedule, and void at the same times every day (generally right after sleeping or eating)   That being the case, observe, make note, and then be sure to place him in the correct location.   If you behave well, your reward will be less messes to clean.  Perhaps the most important rule, is never punish your dog for answering "natures call".   Absent the capacity for reason, he will only get more confused if punished for performing a very natural act.   However, be sure to always reinforce positive behaviors

Question :. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT A POODLE GROOMER?

I recommend that you avoid large grooming shops where dogs are being cage dried. Cage drying means that your dog is placed in a crate and super heated air is forced into the cage. There are many recorded cases of small dogs that have died from heat prostration as a result. Further perhaps, the larger grooming parlor could best be described as controlled chaos. Cage doors opening, closing and clanging, dogs constantly barking, and an unending flow of human traffic to and fro can contribute to your pet becoming very nervous.

Your best choices are the lady down the block that grooms dogs at her home or a mobile groomer that comes to your home. They are great options because they only handle one or two dogs at a time and use hand dryers. Further, because you and your dog are not in an endless stream of dogs and owners your pet will learn to trust this person and you just might gain a friend.

"IS IT TRUE THAT POODLES ARE GOOD DOGS TO OWN IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES?"

There would appear to be a great number of people that insist that poodles are a really good choice for those people afflicted with allergies to animal dander. Poodles do not shed, and they do not normally have dry, flaky skin. Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure if it is you, is get a poodle and find out. Of course, buying one just to test would be an expensive and traumatic proposition, so perhaps a visit to a friend with a poodle might be the better way to go!
