The Poodle is one of the most popular breeds of dogsin the World. Poodles are highly intelligent, adaptable and have a remarkable sense of humor. They come in three sizes, many colors, don't shed and are tolerated by many allergy sufferers. With so many wonderful qualities, it is easy to understand why the Poodle has so many admirers.

According to breed scholars, the Poodle's origins most likely took place in Germany where it was known as PUDELIN (meaning "to splash") because of its love of water. It was the French, however, who honored the dog -at home, in court circles and on the battlefield thus earning the dog the popular, but incorrect title, "French Poodle".

THE TOY POODLE
Of the three varieties, the Toy is the smallest. It is popular with apartment owners, retired people who enjoy traveling with their pet and those who prefer a very small dog. By definition, the Toy Poodle should not be taller than 10" at the shoulder.

THE MINIATURE POODLE
The Miniature Poodle is the medium size variety. Ideally not taller than 15" at the shoulder, this sturdy size is small enough to suit apartment living and large enough to be a rough and tumble child's companion.

THE STANDARD POODLE
The Standard Poodle has no upper height restriction although the majority are usually between 21" and 27" at the shoulder, with females leaning towards the lower end of the range. The Standard, originally a water retriever, is now enjoying a myriad of roles; hospital therapy dog, hunting dog and loyal companion. He is ideal for those individuals who prefer a larger dog.

DON'T BUY ON IMPULSE
Buying a dog SHOULD NOT be done on impulse. Learn as much as you can about the breed in which you are interested. Every breed has advantages and disadvantages.

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

There are hereditary health problems in ALL breeds of dogs. Below are some of the more common hereditary health problems in each variety of Poodle.

The following genetic disorders have been diagnosed in all three Poodle varieties: hip dysplasia, PRA and cataracts (leading to blindness) and epilepsy (seizures).

The Toy Poodle may also have loose stifles (knee caps) [known as luxating patella} and Legg-Perthe's Disease (disease of the hip joint).

The Miniature Poodle may have von Willebrand's Disease (bleeding disorder) and thyroid problems.

The Standard Poodle may be subject to gastric torsion/bloat, von Willebrand's Disease, sebaceous adenitis (skin disorder) and autoimmune problems such as Addison's Disease and autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

A written report should be furnished upon request to the puppy buyer with the results of x-rays, blood tests, eye examinations and punch skin biopsies for the sire and the dam of the puppy.
Responsible, conscientious breeders screen all breeding stock for hereditary health problems for which we have testing available prior to utilizing ANY dog in a breeding program and are delighted to answer any questions about the health of the puppy's sire and dam.
However, even when the sire and dam have been tested and found free of specific hereditary health problems, there is no iron-clad assurance that the puppy will not develop one of these problems. (This is the nature of biology). Buying a puppy from a breeder who tests breeding stock considerably increases your chances of getting a healthy puppy.

SHOW QUALITY VERSUS PET QUALITY
A show quality puppy is one which, in the breeder's opinion, should be able to become a champion. A pet quality puppy is less likely, in the breeder's estimation, to become a champion. However, when buying a puppy (8 weeks to 16 weeks), trying to guess what that puppy will look like when it is an adult is just that...a guess.
A pet quality puppy is one that has a minor fault which would disqualify it from being shown; i.e., a white spot on the chest (or elsewhere), only one descended testicle, oversize or undersize Toys or Miniatures, or an improper bite.
However, the feature(s) which disqualify these puppies from the show ring will, in no way, affect their abil ity to be a wonderful companion.

Most pet quality puppies are sold with the AKC's limited registration form and spay/neuter contracts. The limited registration form is a simple way of saying that although your pet is an AKC registered pure-bred dog, it cannot be bred. And if it is bred, the offspring cannot be registered with the American Kennel Club. Using this form is the breeder's way of ensuring that the puppy will not be bred and pass along the disqualifying feature to future generations. Neutering your dog also increases its chances of leading a longer, healthier and happier life.

GUARANTEES/CONTRACTS
What should you expect in writing from the breeder?
? The AKC registration slip (or CKC in Canada)
? At least a three generation pedigree
? Copies of the test results of genetic screening for health problems of the sire and dam
? Copies of applicable testing done
on the puppy
? A printed contract including:
-Health guarantee
-A timeframe (2 days to a week) to determine if the puppy will fit the buyer's household
-A time period for the buyer to secure a veterinary check (24 48 hours)
-A statement of the breeder's refund/return policy
-Feeding instructions
-Vaccination and worming schedule - when given and when due - and what products were used

Many breeders provide pictures of the sire and dam, photos of the entire litter, and puppy manuals which give housebreaking hints, training advice and information on health. These are an added bonus but not absolutely necessary. A small quantity of puppy's food-enough to last for several day-is helpful.

SHIPPING THE PUPPY
Many puppies are shipped safely by air to their new homes. The puppy buyer is responsible for the cost of the airfare and shipping crate. Many breeders may ship the puppy in a "loaner crate" which the buyer must UPS back to the breeder ASAP. If the buyer chooses to return the puppy for any reason, the cost of the return airfare is the responsibility of the I buyer.
