Toy Poodle - A show ring winner

Although Poodles have long been a favorite in the show ring, this breed is certainly not a dog that doesn't have brains as well as stunning good looks. Behind the red ribbons, impressive hairdos and majestic attitude, you'll discover an affectionate family dog with many talents. Poodles are high-spirited and friendly dogs who thrive on human contact and love to be involved in family life.  They get along famously with children and other family pets, as well as being a natural comedian who will provide the whole family with years of entertainment.  Poodles are renowned for their proud, dignified personality and, many may be surprised to find out, they also excel as a watch dogs, announcing the entry of an intruder but never being aggressive. Poodles are always a solid color, but can be found in a wonderful variety of shades. There are three sizes of Poodle - Toy, Miniature and Standard - the Standard being the oldest of the three varieties. No matter what size, Poodles are extraordinarily sensitive to vocal intonation, probably one of the reasons they are so easy to train.
