Detailed Listing Information
Description of Pet
Beautiful 10 month old female with good conformation and nice bite alignment. Very sweet tempered and should make an excellent mother. Started with obedience training; currently housebroke, crate trained, and walks on a leash. Very good with other dogs, birds (parrots and canaries), and cats, but not so good with livestock. Unfortunately we have a farm with many small and baby animals (goats, cows, horses, poultry), and she does not fit in very well with them. She is registered and current on all vaccines including rabies. Microchiped with HomeAgain. Owned by a veterinarian.

About The Breed
ADVERTISEMENT
The Poodle is a breed of dog; specifically, it is a gun dog noted for its ability in the water and bird hunting skills. The English name comes from the German Pudel, or Pudelhund – from Old German puddeln, meaning "to splash about". In France, Portugal and Spain, the Poodle is known as a caniche.
Breed standards call for a dignified, elegant carriage.
The hair on the animal's body is naturally curly, often in small tight clumps of small curly ringlets. Hair on the ears can be straight or slightly curly. With brushing, the dog's hair will still retain wavy or curly properties, but will soften and straighten somewhat.
The coat can be clipped in various styles. For show purposes, only three clips—the puppy clip (only for dogs one year old or younger), the Continental or Lion clip (with the instantly-recognisable 'mane'), and the English Saddle clip (with leg bracelets)—are acceptable. The traditional show-cut 'bracelets' of long fur covering the dog's leg joints are said to date back to winter hunts, where most of the fur was clipped short to facilitate swimming but the joints, lungs, heart, and kidneys needed protection from the cold. The pom-pom on the end of the tail served as a "flag" when the Poodle dove under the water's surface. Clip styles for pets include the Kennel clip (fur same length all over) and other styles, generally variants of the Continental. Left alone, Poodle fur will become corded in the manner of a Puli or Komondor.
Working Poodles are often clipped closely to avoid tangles and to reduce the amount of water a wet dog brings into a duck boat.
