What’s you favorite breed of dogs for kids?

Mine is unquestionably, without any hesitation, the STANDARD POODLE! Poodles are dogs with a sense of

humor…that’s why they let us cut their hair in all those crazy dos. Now I know what you are thinking…why would I want such a fru-fru dog. I thought the same thing and I will tell you. They are anything but frilly sissy dogs. These are sturdy retrievers, amazing herders, incredible guard dogs and loveable friends.

Our poodle is named Franki. Our son was 5 when we got her and he named her–hence the gender issues with the name and the i at the end. She has let him lie all over her, pull her tail and generally do what everyone who has a lab or golden retriever tells you their dog lets their kids do and she doesn’t shed…she’s hypo-allergenic. This was a really important part of why we chose poodles. Another feature of poodles is they don’t have a dog smell. If there is a smell about them it is because they have an ear infection. That’s the only time this dog has an odor.

She has a loud voice but she doesn’t use it except when there is someone that she doesn’t know around. Then she uses it until we say, “Quiet, Franki”–that’s it. She is so smart that she trains very easily. She is also one laid back dog.

We got her from a breeder in Alabama who breeds show dogs. You can also get a rescued poodle and find poodles that are less expensive. I did a lot of research before getting our dog and Annette Shephard, Franki’s breeder, worked with me, allowing me to pay over time, helping to get me the type of puppy with the temperment that was right for our situation. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a standard poodle. www.standardpoodlesrus.com
