A true social animal, the Mini Schnauzer loves to play and frolic with children and their owners. This fun loving breed has a docile, intelligent, and affectionate temperment.

Poodle Characteristics:

Highly intelligent, the Poodle is one of the easiest dogs to train. Their personalities tend to be good natured and friendly, and are a calm breed. They enjoy being around others and are a good house and family (especially one with children) pet, and do well in a house with other pets present. Poodles adore water and require daily walks, and if properly exercised, are quite inactive inside a house. A firm, but not harsh, hand is required when training or repremanding a poodle. They are very sensitive to their owners tone of voice so a calm, firm word is usually all it takes to control a poodle.

Poodles have a curly or corded coat, and do not shed, making them a great pet for allergy sufferers.
