Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard). Calm, relaxed, and easy-going describe this distinguished gentleman and pure-bred Poodle. Lucky is a wonderful guy with a gentle disposition who was rescued from an illegal breeder in South Carolina. Despite his background, he is trusting and engaged. Obviously a bit uncertain, Lucky has approached his new environment, including vet visits and a bath, with unusual sweetness and ease. Lucky is easy on leash, he does not pull, preferring slow walks and sniffs to chasing squirrels. He does love a tennis ball, and although he will chase it, he does not know how to play "fetch." He does know "sit" and he will follow you trustingly. Lucky is great in the car, happy to be with you on an adventure, expecially with an open window so he can smell all the smells in the air! Lucky is not treat motivated, but he will be easy to train without incentives as he is very smart and eager to please. You would be LUCKY to have this even-tempered love bug, who seemingly wants nothing more than a slow walk and a long nap with his person! PAW adopts in the MD, DC, northern VA, and northern PA region.

Overview:
The Standard Poodle is a captivating and highly intelligent breed with a rich history, believed to have originated in Germany as a water retriever before being refined in France. Renowned for their distinctive, dense, and curly coat—which is virtually non-shedding, making them a great choice for allergy sufferers—they are elegant and athletic dogs. Physically, they possess a proud carriage, a long muzzle, and dark, expressive eyes, typically weighing between 45-70 pounds. Their temperament is characterized by being highly intelligent, easily trainable, and generally good-natured, though they require mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Standard Poodles are surprisingly adaptable, thriving in active families and even adapting well to apartment living provided they receive adequate exercise and mental engagement. While generally healthy, owners should be aware of potential health concerns like hip dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions. Their combination of brains, beauty, and biddability makes them a truly versatile and rewarding companion.
