Obesity is one of the major problems in humans, so is in dogs…
Based on surveys, a Standard Poodle may live for up to 12 years provided he lives a healthy lifestyle. Owners should know that good nutrition, appropriate training, regular grooming, protection against diseases and proper exercise are what a Standard Poodle needs in order to live a healthy life. As part of being a responsible owner, one should also know the diseases and other health issues that could possibly be the reason for the dog’s health to deteriorate. While a lot of Poodles develop hip dysplasia or cancer, let us not forget that obesity or overweight is also rampant in Standard Poodles and other dog breeds in general.
It is important to keep your Poodles healthy and happy. Learning to care for them properly will definitely lead you and your dog to a happy and healthy years of great friendship…
The Standard Poodle is an intelligent and playful dog with loving behavior. And just like other Poodles, they are elegant, dignified and carry themselves proudly, as if distinct and superior from other breeds of dog. The Standard Poodle is similar to other types of Poodles in variety of ways but they tend to be calmer. They like and need to be with people always and easily get bored when left alone.

There is an on-going issue about this breed’s true country of origin. Some experts believe that Poodles originated from France, others believe that they are from Russia or Iberia.

Pudelhound means splashing dog, signifying this breed’s characteristic as water dog.
