Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature). Poor Max suffered from years of neglect by his owner. Max was so matted his neck and leg motion was restricted by the armor like encasement of the matting. It is a miracle his limbs weren’t strangulated necessitating amputation. Pictures show his before face, feet, private areas and mats which were wrapped around his teeth. Warning these pics may be upsetting to some. Max was also infested with too many fleas to count and putridly filthy. It is a miracle he survived. It took his groomer 4 hours to shave off the hair and filth and she is very skilled and experienced. My outrage at his condition is only tempered by the relief he was legally surrendered to our rescue. Max is sweet as can be and is a small approximately 10 year old poodle.

Overview:
The Miniature Poodle, a charming and intelligent companion, originated in Germany as a water retriever before being refined in France. They are renowned for their elegant appearance, characterized by a distinctive curly coat (often requiring regular grooming to prevent matting), long muzzle, and expressive dark eyes. Standing typically between 10 to 15 inches tall and weighing 10 to 15 pounds, they are a compact yet sturdy breed. Temperamentally, Miniature Poodles are known for their high intelligence, making them highly trainable and eager to please. They are generally lively, affectionate, and can be quite playful, thriving on interaction with their families. Their adaptable nature makes them well-suited for apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. They are often excellent with children and other pets when properly socialized. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as progressive retinal atrophy, luxating patella, and Addison's disease. With their captivating looks and bright minds, the Miniature Poodle makes a delightful and devoted family member.
