The Standard Poodle has less energy than smaller breeds of Poodle and they enjoy their rest so they should have a comfy bed area filled with cushions and blankets. Nevertheless, like all dogs, they love playing too, so they will still appreciate a good variety of different toys and being able to run around in a garden. Incredibly intelligent, Poodles love to learn and will happily perform different tricks for you in exchange for treats. Celebrity owner: Grace Kelly.
