Standard Poodle Puppies for Sale

Poodles are known for their intelligence, cheerful dispositions, and sensitive natures. They are versatile dogs that make great family companions and are considered one of the kid-friendly dog breeds. Well-socialized, they tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. Due to their sensitive nature, they tend to be a better fit for older children who understand how to approach and interact with a dog appropriately. These dogs prefer peace and harmony in the household, so very young children who are too loud or rough can stress them out. The Standard Poodle also tends to be quite energetic until they are about two years old. They can be prone to knocking over small children in their excitement. It’s a good idea to train your dog not to jump up when they are a puppy, especially because the Poodle grows into a larger dog. Standard Poodles also tend to make great watchdogs and have some protective instincts. Well-socialized Poodles will bark to alert you, but will tend to be warm, open, and friendly with strangers. Without proper socialization, they can become skittish, nervous, and wary of strangers. Making sure any puppy is socialized early and often helps them grow into a confident, well-rounded dog.
