Standard Poodle

Standard Poodles are working dogs pretending to be fancy lap dogs, which means they need actual jobs or they’ll reorganize your house out of boredom. The clip isn’t just for show: that coat requires professional grooming every 6-8 weeks or it becomes a matted felt suit. If you can handle the grooming bills and the fact that yours will outsmart you regularly, you’ve got a genuinely brilliant, athletic companion that won’t shed on your furniture.
