🧠 Temperament
Genuinely one of the smartest breeds — quick to learn, and quick to invent bad habits if bored. Poodles are sensitive, bond hard to their people and tend to be more reserved with strangers than retrievers.
🎾 Exercise
45-60 minutes daily plus puzzle work. Mental exercise matters as much as physical for this breed.
✂️ Grooming
High maintenance. The curly single coat doesn't shed much but mats easily; expect brushing several times a week and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Excellent city dogs — low shedding, adaptable and highly trainable. Budget for grooming.
