Standard Poodle Temperament

​

Standard poodles are exceptionally smart, loving, loyal, and obedient dogs with a strong work ethic and great stamina. Poodles are adaptable and curious, eager for lots of mental stimulation and daily exercise, including running and swimming. They crave attention and company, and are happy to provide it to their loved ones in return. While many dogs, including a good number of breeds most commonly trained as service dogs, are known for bonding most strongly with one person, standard poodles tend to form strong bonds with the whole family and get along quite well with children.
