Poodle (Standard)
Large · 40–70 lbs
The Standard Poodle is among the oldest retrieving breeds in Europe, depicted in 15th and 16th century German woodcuts as a water dog. Despite its strong association with France — where it is the national dog — the breed originated in Germany. The elaborate show clips seen today evolved from practical working cuts, with the "lion clip" designed to protect the heart and joints while swimming, and the hindquarters shaved for reduced drag in water.
The Standard Poodle scores 98/100 in trainability — the most trainable dog breed in the world — combining near-zero shedding (10/100) with athletic ability, loyalty, and a friendly (85/100) temperament that works for first-time and experienced owners alike. Grooming costs are high (85/100) and mental stimulation is non-negotiable, but few breeds reward the investment as generously.

Poodle (Standard) Buyer's Guide
Common questions answered before you buy
Yes — the Poodle (Standard) is one of the better choices for new owners. With a trainability score of 98/100 and a low stubbornness level, they pick up commands quickly, respond well to positive reinforcement, and don't tend to push boundaries. That said, you still need consistent daily training from day one — no dog is hands-off.
The Poodle (Standard) needs around 60 minutes of active exercise daily. This means actual exercise — not just a short bathroom walk. A mix of leashed walks, off-leash time, and play sessions keeps them mentally and physically balanced. Their energy level of 75/100 means they won't tire from light activity alone.
Minimally. The Poodle (Standard) sheds very little and is often considered a good option for people sensitive to pet hair. Regular grooming still keeps the coat healthy. Grooming effort for this breed is high. The Poodle (Standard) has demanding grooming needs — expect professional grooming every 4–8 weeks plus daily brushing at home. Grooming costs add up quickly over a dog's lifetime.
Yes — the Poodle (Standard) is one of the more family-friendly breeds with a friendliness score of 85/100. They are specifically noted as good with children and families. As with any dog, teach children how to interact respectfully, and supervise early introductions.
The most frequently reported health concerns in the Poodle (Standard) include Bloat, Hip dysplasia and Addison's disease. Before buying, ask breeders for health clearances on the parents — reputable breeders will have OFA (hips/elbows) or equivalent certifications on file. Budget for annual vet visits and consider pet health insurance from puppyhood.
Not ideally. The Poodle (Standard) is a high-energy breed (75/100) that needs around 60 minutes of active exercise daily and room to move. Without outdoor space to release energy, they become restless, destructive, or develop anxiety. A house with a yard — or a very committed owner who can provide multiple outdoor sessions daily — is a much better fit.
That's the right question to ask before buying. The Poodle (Standard) has one of the highest grooming effort scores (85/100). In the Philippines, professional grooming typically runs ₱500–₱2,000+ per session depending on size and coat condition, and this breed may need it every 4–8 weeks on top of daily at-home brushing. Factor this recurring cost into your decision.
