Hi Everyone, I noticed that there isn't a Poodle thread or Poodle society in Cebu, which I find surprising since Poodles are definitely one of the most popular and highly respected dog breeds around the world. I am certain that there are many people in Cebu who owns a Poodle - many may not even be aware of how special this particular dog breed is.
Any vet or dog expert cannot ever dispute the intelligence of poodles. Poodles, indeed has a GREAT sense of humor but are also quite elegant. I would like to invite everyone, Cebuanos, to post your poodle stories and photos here. I'd love to know your stories and hope you'd share them for others to learn about also.
I'm going to re-post my comments on "the best dog breed for kids" here.
Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------
The best dog breed for kids (for me), hands down is the Mini Poodle. Mini Poodles are non-aggressive, are very intelligent and the most affectionate. I would also recommend the Toy but they are more at risk with kids than the other way around. At least a Mini Poodle is not too small for rough play but are very gentle always with kids. Poodles, if properly groomed is like a live stuffy toy that your kids can definitely snuggle with in bed. It's a great breed for kids to grow up with. Most poodles has the natural instinct to snuggle under their arm and keep them warm. Poodles are hands down the most intelligent and sweetest breed. Golden Retrievers are good but too big for kids to maintain. Owning a poodle is also a great way for kids to learn a sense of responsibility. Poodles are very easy to train and your kid will definitely have plenty of great time with it. Poodles very much love to please their owner by learning new tricks. I think it is a privilege to own a poodle. Poodles are the only dog breed that many would claim as NOT a dog, they are SIMPLY "Poodles". Poodle owner/lovers around the world very rarely refer to their poodles as a dog, they are simply "Poodles".
Poodles are also Hypoallergenic so if your kids are asthmatic or have allergies, they are safe with a poodle. To quote VETSTREET Poodle Breed Information
Poodle Breed Information
"No breed has a more highly developed sense of humor than the Poodle. Good thing, too, because no breed has been the butt of more jokes. Humor aside, all the sniping is unfortunate. Many a family overlooks the smart, funny Poodle, thinking him prissy. Still, it is one of the more popular breeds in the world. Poodle lovers know the dogs for their intelligence, ease of training, low-shedding curly coat, and love of family."
