The detail
Bred in Germany as a water retriever and later refined in France, the Poodle comes in Standard, Miniature and Toy sizes. All three are bright, athletic and low-shedding, and all need regular professional grooming and a job for their minds.

What to weigh
The coat never stops growing and mats quickly, so professional grooming every four to six weeks is a lifetime cost. Poodles are sensitive and can become anxious or noisy when bored or left alone too long.
