Choosing Royal Standard Poodle Breeders

By Miranda Sweeney


Searching for a new pet, especially when considering a pure bred animal, may require a bit of research to make sure that the individual finds a breed compatible with their current living situation. The dog should have a temperament, health and grooming needs that are within one's comfort zone. Those who love larger, affectionate dogs but have some allergy problems may want to speak to royal standard poodle breeders.

As a breed in general, poodles are highly desired dogs who have a regal and respected history. Though their origin can not be definitively pinpointed, the AKC attributes them a German heritage. They have multiple positive aspects that make them skilled hunting hounds, talented performers, wonderful playmates and fantastic house pets.

The AKC officially recognizes only three sizes of this breed; the standards, miniatures and the toy varieties. Royals is a term to describe those of unusually large size, height and weight, and teacup is the moniker given to the pups of extreme minuscule stature. The giant and tiny versions tend to have a bit more health issues involving their hearts, hips and bone strength.

Royals can stand about thirty inches high at the withers and weigh in excess of eighty pounds when full grown. On average, a healthy dog of this type lives to be twelve years old, or older. Their appearance is one of aristocratic beauty and its distinctive shape is easily recognized by people all around the world.

When placed in proper show stance, these dogs have a near perfectly squared silhouette where the body itself is basically the same in length as it is in height, not counting the head and legs. The rounded skull is fronted by a lengthened, tapered muzzle and eyes that are oval in shape, either very dark brown or black, and wide set. The ears form long silken flaps hanging straight down at the sides of the face.

Their legs are in perfect proportion the body's size whereas those of most breeds are either on the short or long side of the spectrum. With no sloping, no dipping or arching, these dogs present a very level back line while standing. They have thick, stiff tails that are sometimes cropped but always raised and carried straight up in the air.

Poodles have a distinctive curly style coat that is easily identifiable and almost always a solid color. Their amazing fur is actually more like hair as in it constantly grows and does not shed. This makes them very clean indoor pets and perfect for allergy sufferers, but it also means they will require regular grooming.

This breed has been touted as one of the most highly intelligent ones partly because they have the amazing ability to understand a lot more words than other dogs, and they are easily trained. As long as they get regular exercise, they tend to be well behaved and their calm disposition makes them amiable with adults, children and other canines. They view their owners as pack members and show incredible loyalty, devotion and affection.
