General Comments
From my experience, poodles are good house dogs, do not moult so are ideal for families with asthma sufferers, intelligent, good companions, very loving, friendly. My standard poodle has never bitten or snapped, even when being wrestled by three children.

They can be scavengers who will eat off worktops, out of dust bins. If you show them, they take a lifetime of grooming and care. My standard has a tendency to get ear infections at least three times a year (times £35 per vet trip). They are faddy eaters, you give one human food and you can forget dog food for a week.

Even with a few faults, they are excellent dogs, given parameters. Well recommended.
