yup. love them to death - they are one of the most intelligent breeds, athletic and love water, friendly and loyal - they dont shed.
they are the best all round dogs to have.
the only drawback is the grooming and occasional hip dysplasia.
(huskies and pitbulls are not particularly intelligent and not as receptive to all humans as poodles)

Standard Poodles are fantastic dogs - very intelligent. I had one many years ago and he was almost "human" like- LOL. He actually would go out and retrieve the newspaper off the porch each morning. My husband took ours bird hunting and Baron was a much better retriever than the breeds normally thought to be duck or pheasant hunters -- He ran circles around our friends hunting dogs. On the way home, the other dogs were exhausted and Baron was still ready to go. That was many years ago, but we just spent 3 weeks vacationing with a couple who owned a Standard Poodle and he was a great dog also. He guards the livestock on the ranch where he lives. SO, the person who thinks that Standard Poodles are wuzzies, doesn't know what he or she is talking about!

Miniature poodles are great too. Mine lived to be 21 and never had a major health problem. She understood plain English, could find lost pets, and was kind to small animals. But she scared the big dogs.

Bulldogs are my favourite. I like poodles, especially their hairstyles.

Well, they're definitely better than miniature & teacup poodles.

They can be the best or the worst, just like any other dog, purebreds or mixes. It all depends on how one is raised, and if it was inbred!

They're great. I love poodles.
But they're only great if you have the room to let them run around... ;)
