I've always had a thing for poodles, I'm not thinking about getting a puppy yet but in the future when my children are a bit older than i may do. Just wondering if living with poodles is what i think it would be!
My favourite size is standard because they're so eye catching and beautiful but we only have a small terraced house so i think they might be too big and a miniature would be the way forward. I'm relatively experienced with dogs and capable of grooming a poodle - not show clip etc but enough to get by. I would want a medium energy breed walk ie for an hour a day, I'm very keen to do clicker training and agility and similar. Work from home and that will continue. I need one that doesn't shed so I've looked at all the non shedding breeds and ruled out very small and very large dogs, ruling out terriers due to their prey and digging drive, ruling out breeds such as havanese as they are just way too expensive although theyre gorgeous. Thought about a rescue but i need a non shedder due to allergies to dog hair from moulting breeds. Id like a happy dog that'll cuddles up on the sofa, easy to train, sociable and good with (respectful) children.
What's it really like living with poodles and any other medium non shedding breeds i should consider?
