I'm Michele S., the breeder behind Magnolia Springs Farm located in Nacogdoches, TX. STANDARD POODLE “ POODLES ARE EAGER, ATHLETIC, AND WICKEDLY SMART “REAL DOGS” OF REMARKABLE VERSATILITY.” — AKC Height: Over 15 inches Weight: 60-70 pounds (male), 40-50 pounds (female) Life Expectancy: 10-18 years The Standard Poodle is a popular, water-loving dog breed used for centuries as a bird dog and popular pet. Poodles are eager, athletic, and smart dogs of remarkable versatility. They also have an amazing ability to learn, and they might just surprise you with their desire to complete tasks, as well as their innate intelligence. Known for both this exceptional intellect, as well as their friendly and active nature, Poodles make very sweet-natured companions. Poodles come in three size varieties: Standards should be more than 15 inches tall at the shoulder; Miniatures are 15 inches or under; Toys stand no more than 10 inches. All three varieties have the same build and proportions. Poodles are eager, athletic, and wickedly smart “real dogs” of remarkable versatility. The Standard, with his greater size and strength, is the best all-around athlete of the family, but all Poodles can be trained with great success. Poodles are extremely intelligent and are easily trained. They are agile and graceful as well as smart, and they enjoy and excel in a variety of canine sports, including agility, obedience, and tracking. They are excellent water-retrievers and also compete in dock diving and retriever hunt tests. Poodles are very people-oriented, and if your training routines are fun and positive, they are quick to please you. Just be sure that you are being consistent with what you ask.
