Personality & companionship
The Poodle is often described as bright, lively. Think of these as a starting point for getting to know the breed. A puppy’s experiences, training and individual personality help shape the companion they become.

Poodles go home from all four of our stores. In the past year, Las Vegas saw the most, and the breed ranked in the top ten at Vineyard. The first question families ask is size. The AKC lists three: Toy Poodles at 4 to 6 pounds, Miniatures at 10 to 15 pounds, and Standards from 40 to 70 pounds. All three have a life span of 10 to 18 years. Ask which size a puppy is. The curly coat needs regular brushing and trims. Ask us to text you when one arrives.

Poodles come in three sizes: Toy (4–6 lb), Miniature (10–15 lb) and Standard (40–70 lb). Tell us which size you have in mind so we can help you look for the right variety.
The Poodle is described as especially energetic. If you enjoy making time for games and learning together, this is a good conversation to have with our team. Plan age-appropriate play and short training sessions with plenty of rest.
Reward-based training and positive introductions help build a confident start.
The Poodle is in our generally lower-shedding breed group, often called hypoallergenic. A good brushing routine still matters. Ask the team which tools suit the coat and how to keep grooming comfortable. No dog is allergy-free; meeting a puppy can help you discuss your needs.
Tell us your favorite breed, preferred store and the details that matter to you. We’ll help you take the next step.
