Medium Poodle

Personality

Exceptionally smart and eager to please, the Medium Poodle is proud, alert, and often carries itself with an air of dignity. They are active, playful, and form strong, loyal bonds with their families.

Exercise Needs

Requires at least 60 minutes of daily exercise. This intelligent breed thrives on both physical activity like brisk walks or swimming and mental stimulation through training, puzzles, and dog sports.

Grooming & Care

The non-shedding, curly coat requires professional grooming every 4-6 weeks and daily brushing to prevent mats. Regular ear cleaning is essential due to floppy ears. Feed a high-quality diet appropriate for their activity level.

Family Suitability

Health Considerations

Generally healthy, but can be prone to hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), Addison's disease, and bloat. Regular vet check-ups and responsible breeding are important.
