P o o d l e s There are three sizes of Poodles - Toy, Miniature, and Standard - all in a wide range of beautiful solid colours. The Poodle's coat does not shed, but regular grooming is essential.For the fashion-conscous there are many different styles in which he can be clipped. A dandy at heart, he will always show his appreciation when his toilette has been completed. He is a clown by nature who gives amusement and devotion to his owners. Because he is capable of learning quickly, and enjoys showing off, the french circus untilised these abilities, and the Poodle became a popular entertainer. Today these characteristics stand him in good stead in the show - ring. Extremely versatile, he excels in obedience, has a history as a water and retrieving dog, and was adept at searching out the gourmet's delight of truffles. In fact there seems no end to his talents. Lighthearted, with a happy nature, elegant, friendly and high spirited, his sporting and home-loving instincts all combine to make him the ideal companion, especially as there is the choice of different sizes.
