Standard Poodles are the best dogs ever! :D (The one in post #6 looks just like our female.)
No shedding, no smell, great companions, incredibly smart and awesome guard dogs. They’ve spoiled me and I’ll never have anything else.
Yes, I’ll only have Standard Poodles from now on too, never thought I would be saying that about poodles until I got one. I would love any dog, but these guys just have an attitude like “I’m the coolest dog you’ll ever own”.
“the best watch dogs ever”
I have a good friend who is a dog trainer. When her hubby went “on the road” she got two standards for protection.
Recommended them highly.
I may look into a rescue situation when my current pack dwindles.
