Choosing Royal Standard Poodle Breeders

By Miranda Sweeney


When an individual decides it is time to get a new pet, it might be very beneficial to do a little research on the subject, especially if wanting to acquire a pure bred canine, to find just the right match for one's personal situation and living conditions. It is best to choose a dog who has a temperament that compliments the owner's, and who has grooming, health and attention needs that are within one's comfort range. Allergy sufferers who want an a larger sized, very affectionate companion may find what they desire from royal standard poodle breeders.

This breed has a regal background and is considered highly desired. Though no one can definitely identify their origin, the AKC labels them to be of German descent. They have a number of super positive attributes that make these dogs great hunting companions, talented performers, loving family pets and sanitary indoor animals.

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.

They have a reputation for being easily trained, highly intelligent and able to understand a great many words. Regular exercise is a must to maintain their calm disposition, though they are known to be wonderful with children, adults and other household pets. Poodles very affectionate, consider any humans they interact with regularly to be part of their pack and are fiercely loyal and endlessly devoted.
