All About Black And Brown Royal Standard Poodles

By Ann Butler


Poodles are known for at least four hundred years and are certainly among the most popular breeds. They are well-known as graceful, noble and good natured dogs, highly intelligent and easy to train. Their characteristic appearance and cheerfulness make them especially recognizable, and black and brown Royal Standard Poodles are probably the most popular of all.

Of course, you will find white poodles, as well as those in other solid colors, or even those that have different color combinations, but only solid colored ones can become show dogs. Silver and blue, apricot or cream, it really doesn't matter which color you prefer, all are beautiful, although brown and black ones are especially popular lately.

Poodles of this type are medium to large by size, and they have lovely thick coat and flat, adorable hanging ears. They have well-proportioned bodies and legs, with small paws and long tails. They shed so little that it can be said that they do not shed at all, and this is certainly important allergy suffering people. Considering that they do not shed, they have to be clipped, usually every six weeks. And they obviously cannot live outside the house.

Their corded or curly coats require regular care, and every six to eight weeks have to be clipped. You can choose your favorite clipping style, but if you have a show dog, you will probably choose one variation of English saddle type of clipping, or so called Continental clip. Sometimes some types are more popular than others, but these are mostly required on dog shows.

Poodles have really good nature, calm and friendly. They belong to lower energy dogs, but they still need some amount of activity to remain healthy and happy. One walk a day is all they ask, and they will be satisfied. On the other hand, if you do not give them that simple daily walk, you might expect different behavior issues. They do not appreciate being left alone for long time either.

This is certainly the long lived breed, 12-15 years in average, but prone to several genetic diseases. Their eyes and ears are especially vulnerable. Their ears need to be checked for wax or mites regularly, and their eyes need special care as well. They might have running eyes, cataract and similar eye issues, and regular vet checks are necessary.

Poodles might have sensitive skin, and you have to be careful when choosing their shampoo. Choose some mild, high quality shampoo for their regular baths. When it comes to their diet, it is much better to give them three smaller meals a day than only one large meal. They are prone to bloat, and smaller meals may help. So, at least two meals, if not three, and only some good quality food.

At last, the fact is you will be surely satisfied with your choice of your pet and friend. He will stay with you for many years, he will behave polite, you can train him and he does not require too much at all. Only your presence and love. Great for single people, great for families with children, beautiful and clever, these dogs are so popular for a variety of very good reasons. Have yourself a nice dog and you won't be sorry.
