What is the best way to choose a poodle for my next pet?
First decide what size of poodle would best fit your lifestyle. Smaller poodles (teacups) might not fit as great with young children. Full-size toys or small miniatures with nice and sturdy bone structures are best for playmates in these situations. Take a look at all the different colors available, and see what you like best. Male or female should not be a big factor, as they both make great pets. It is a little pricier to have a female fixed than to have a male dog fixed. Personality would be one of the most important factors in choosing a puppy for your family. If you have active children or a busy lifestyle, you may want a more active/playful puppy. If you live a more relaxed lifestyle and are looking for a lap dog that just likes to be near you and cuddle, then you will want to choose a puppy that is very calm and less aggressive. Price should be the last thing you look at when choosing a puppy from a responsible breeder.
