Choosing Royal Standard Poodles For Sale

By Donald Snyder


The decision to adopt a dog is not one that should not be taken without some serious considerations. A person would be well-advised to learn about the breed in which they are interested, as many factors such as size, temperament, grooming requirements, health, energy levels and various personality traits can be very important factors. When seeking Royal Standard Poodles for sale, it is a good idea to know what their specific needs will be.

According to the American Kennel Club, the Poodle is the 8th most popular breed in the U. S. This is due to several factors, including their very elegant and attractive looks, their fun-loving and energetic personalities, and especially their extremely high intelligence. These dogs are frequent winners in shows, but are equally as wonderful as family pets or personal companions.

Toys, Miniatures, and Standards, are the only three official size categories for this breed. When one speaks of Royals, is referring to a dog that is larger than what is normal for this kind. This group, which also goes by the moniker of Giants, typically reaches a height of 22" to 28" at the withers, and weighs up to 90lbs as an adult, with a lifespan of between 12 and 18 years on average.

The appearance of these dogs when properly groomed is rather squared, as their legs are in proportion to their body, meaning they are the same in height and length. They have rounded, small skulls, with a straight, narrow muzzle, dark almond-shaped eyes that are far-set, and flat ears hanging long and close to the head. Their top line is level with a rigid, upheld tail, and oval shaped petite feet with arched toes.

These dogs have an interesting distinction of growing hair instead of fur, which may be either tightly corded, or softly curled, with both styles being low dander and no-shed. Typically, their coloring is solid, with blood being the most common, though apricot, cream, brown, Cafe Au Lait, gray, silver, blue, and white are also found. There are some multi-toned groups known as Tuxedos, Parties, Mismarkeds and Phantoms.

When selecting a puppy for adoption, new pet owners should be aware that it is not uncommon for this breed to change color up to about 2 years of age. The parents' coloring does not necessarily dictate that of the puppies. Offspring of various hues can all be born within the same litter regardless of what the Dame and Sire look like.

These dogs can be rather high maintenance when it comes to their grooming needs, as their hair and nails are continually growing. They are very social and active, requiring plenty of exercise and attention. This particular breed is known for its extreme intelligence and can be easily trained, though owners need to be consistent, as this also makes them prone to wanting to claim the Alpha position in a household.

This type of dog has a lot of versatility, being adaptable to any type of climate, and able to fit various housing situations, including apartments. They do have a tendency to bark at loud or unexpected noises, as a means of protecting their family, however, they are not an aggressive breed. Knowing these attributes prior to adopting a puppy can make the transition into the new home much smoother and more pleasant.
