Poodle Mix

Oscar is a Poodle Mix!

The Poodle is commonly thought to have come from France, although it is descended from several different rough-coated water dogs that were distributed in Hungary, Russia, Asia and France. These early dogs were used for herding.It is the version of the Poodle that originated in Germany that we most think of today as a Poodle. The word even comes from the German "pfudel", meaning "splash".

The Miniature Poodle is smart, playful and eager to please. An amiable companion, it is sensitive to its owners’ moods and tends to become devoted to one person. Usually good with children, and other pets, it can be reserved with strangers.

Poodles need regular grooming to avoid mats and tangles in the long fur, which doesn’t fall out, but becomes tangled in the surrounding hair. However, it isn’t necessary to have them groomed in the fancy clip. A "puppy clip" leaves them looking very nice and is easier to maintain. For the same reason, we do not advise attempting to kennel these dogs outside.

Studies have shown that mixed breed dogs tend to be average in size. This puppy has already shown that it has the "Poodle fur" and Poodles tend to be smaller, so, we can probably assume that it will be smaller than average

We are pleased to welcome Oscar to our practice!
