We rescued a standard female in September of this year. She is great with the exception of adapting to the cats. She isn’t aggressive with them just wants to play and chase. I’m hoping she will calm down around them and learn to coexist calmly.

In reply to Evon. We owned several dogs mostly Labs. After our last oldest Lab died, my wife purchased a Standard Poodle she was a wonderful companion. I severely injured my back. I was bedridden for close to a year & I laid in bed taking pain meds watching my IPAD.when our standard poodle was about six months old she got next to me one night and started watching movies with me. She would see something and then look at me for a reaction. After that it was every night and her favorite show was Trailer Park boys. She got really excited when we watched it. She was a brilliant dog. She passed this about six months ago and we recently had an opportunity to get another Standard Poodle. I enjoyed what you shared thank youn

I got my first standard poodle 10 years ago from a shelter. We had eight wonderful years together. She was so smart and easy to train. I lost her 2 years ago due to cancer. I just got another rescue standard poodle 3 weeks ago. She was abandoned 6 months ago and taken in by a good person who had to give her up due to job changes. She is only 2 years old and very energetic. But we are working together on behavior and training.

I grew up with standard poodles. I love their high energy and silly playfulness. I love that they play with their feet. I just purchased my second male standard. He was running the streets and his owners neighbor helped me catch him. I asked if I could have him for a small fee and later that day I picked him up. He is young but full grown and un-neutered, he has an appt in October. I am in heaven to have another poodle, my last one lived thirteen years.

In reply to Susan Cremeans. I had a Female Standard Poodle years ago that bit a person after having puppies. She bit a stranger who was trying to get to her puppies without us being aware. She was protecting the puppies in her mind. That is the only person she ever bit. She never displayed that behavior at any other time. She was practically a nanny for our 2 year old daughter - following her everywhere and one time coming in between her and a car coming into the drive.

I’ve had standards for almost 40 years… first 3 were rescues, last two sets from reputable breeders. I chose male litter mates.. currently I have a pair at 5 months old, they came home at 8 weeks. I’ve had male & female and I’ve not had a bad experience with any of them. My one female was a year old, underweight/beaten/grossly filthy when I found her.

She was an only dog & I wasn’t working, she was my constant companion. With patience and calm she became a sweet confident dog, she lived to be 17.

When I “met” my first standard, at a party of 100 ppl, food everywhere… he was the most polite/well behaved/non begging dog I’d ever seen. I spent the majority of the evening with him, I was smitten & had rescued my first within 6 months.

In reply to Elmarie. Hi there. You can have a look at Poodle groups on Facebook. There are plenty of posts about surrenders and new litters being born at shelters. Hope you find a new furbaby<3

In reply to Lucy. We have had four standard poodles and rescued three of them, all of which came to us at 10 months mainly because of their intelligence and that they are strong willed and stubborn. All of the dogs came with questionable temperaments, one had been beaten and starved and showed aggression due to being hand shy which disappeared within a month of us raising our hands and bringing them down to make the biggest fuss of the dog - he soon realised the only raised hand he would ever see again was one that gave a big hug or stroke and due to the Standard being such an intelligent dog and with patience and kindness the true personality shines through, you can teach an old and a new dog new tricks !!!
