When looking for a good breed of dog to purchase, a poodle is a good choice. Poodles comes in three different sizes that include toy, miniature, and standard. They also come in a variety of colors with the most common being white, apricot, brown, and black. There are a lot of good qualities found in poodles and this makes them a very common household pet. Here are three excellent reasons why you should consider getting a poodle puppy of your own. 

They Don't Shed 

One excellent reason to get a poodle puppy is the fact that they do not shed. The hair of a poodle is more comparable to human hair and pieces will only fall out every now and then. This not only helps to reduce the amount of dog hair flying around your home, but it is also great for those who are allergic to dogs. In terms of grooming, you will still need to comb and cut your poodles hair, but this is simply to keep it from becoming knotted, dirty, or getting their eyes. 

They Are Very Smart  

Another excellent reason to get a poodle puppy is the fact that they are so smart. A smart dog is very responsive to training, making it much easier for you to not only teach your poodle basic commands, but also teach them more advanced commands as well.  This makes them an excellent choice for a pet because you know that they are going to listen to you. They are also very aware of the difference between adults and children and will moderate their temperament accordingly. This makes them a great family dog. 

They Can Fulfill Several Jobs 

A poodle can participate in several different tasks and fulfill several different kinds of jobs. Because of their historical breeding purpose and their ability to train, they are excellent hunting dogs. Traditionally, they were used for water fowl because of their ability to point and retrieve. These traits and skills are still bred into poodles, especially if you purchase a puppy that comes from hunting lines. Also, because poodles are so smart and easy to train, as well as good with people, they make good service dogs. If you are looking for a dog to compete in dog shows, a poodle is an excellent choice. They are beautiful and graceful dogs that you can train to behave perfectly during dog shows.
