Adopting a Poodle

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Poodle - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost of a Standard Poodle can vary widely based on factors such as pedigree, lineage, breeder reputation, and location. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or even more for a Standard Poodle puppy from a reputable breeder. Adoption fees for Standard Poodles from rescue organizations or shelters can range from $200 to $600, depending on the organization and the dog’s age, health, and background.

If you’re interested in adopting a Standard Poodle, several avenues can help you find your new furry friend. Local animal shelters and breed-specific rescue organizations often have Standard Poodles in need of loving homes. Websites such as Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, and Rescue Me! can also be valuable resources for finding Standard Poodles available for adoption in your area.

Poodle fun facts

Fun Facts:

In the 1980s and 90s, Poodles raced in the Iditarod and in various other sled races. Eventually, however, they were banned from sled-racing as problems with their paws and wet, matted fur made it unsafe for them to work as sled dogs in the Alaskan climate.

Poodles were originally bred and used to work in the water. Their gentle mouths (like their friends the Retrievers) rendered them perfect for use in retrieving ducks and other birds from the water. In France, they were called "caniche," or "duck dog."

World War II popularized the Poodle breed with its use of the dogs in miilitary service. The premier American breeder of Poodles was quoted as saying of their ability to be used in army service: "The dog must play a game in this thing."
