Working With A Standard Poodle Breeder

By Jerry Burns


People are not alone in the world. That does not mean that there are aliens, thought it likely that there are, nor does it mean that there are ghosts, though it is possible that there are. No, people are not alone in the sense that there are animals that share the planet with them. Many of these animals are just chattel, raised so as to be eaten later. But sometimes, these animals can mean more. Sometimes they can be companions and partners. The animals that fall into the latter category are dogs, since they are among the smartest animals in the world. As such, it can be important to find a standard poodle breeder.

Dogs are mans best friend. There is little doubt about that. They provide companionship to people as it is very difficult to be alone when one owns a dog. They are also employed in a variety of fields, from law enforcement to the military to personal protection.

The thing about poodles is that they are seen as fussy. Blame it on pop culture making them about to be uptight and uppity. The truth of the matter is that the breed was actually bred for hunting, and even generations after being turned into a show dog, it still retains those instincts and is still highly trainable.

Now, there are versions of the breed that are small. But small dogs are less pets and more like toys that just happen to be alive. The standard poodle however is fairly large, with males weighing up to seventy pounds while the females can weigh as much as sixty pounds. They are also over fifteen inches tall.

As with any large working breed, there are some concerns. First of all, they must have as much exercise as they need. Dogs that do not get their required exercise may act out in order to vent their frustration and not being allowed to move about. Secondly, they are very open to training and their old instincts will be brought back to forefront with the right teacher.

As with all things in life, a puppy does not come for free. A breeder is going to charge a premium for their products, given that their products are pure bred animals with a lineage. The pups they sell are generally the best examples of their respective breeds. So anyone looking to one should be ready to pay quite a bit of money for one.

Of course, the dog that is bought and sold should be healthy. No one wants to pay a pretty penny for a pet only to have to spend even more money in veterinarian bills. As such, it is best to make sure that each animal is vetted by a medical professional, if not a veterinarian, then maybe a veterinary nurse. It would also be a good idea to do some research on the breeder.

Animals without owners go to shelters, where they might be adopted. However, many do not and have to be put down to make space for new animals. The sad reality is that there are many would be fur babies who will die because no human will adopt them.

Pets can light up any family. They can even prepare a couple to start one. There are avenues to get them, some are just a little more ethical than others.
