Finding a Standard Poodle breeder: what to look for in health and rearing
The Standard Poodle – known in German as the Großpudel or Königspudel ("king poodle") – combines a proud appearance with outstanding intelligence and a love of work. Originally bred for the demanding job of hunting ducks in water, this companion dog, standing 45 to 60 cm tall and weighing 18 to 28 kg, now delights active people and families alike. With a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years, choosing a puppy is a long-term decision. To help your dog reach that age in good health, choosing a competent Standard Poodle breeder is the most important step before you buy.
