DOG FAQ - Choosing a Poodle for Family Adult or Puppy?

Adaptation of a grown Poodle could be difficult, specially for a rookie owner, and if his origins are unknown. If you are thinking about taking your Poodle to an exhibition, then a grown Poodle is easier to be appreciated than a puppy. But a dog that has spent most of his life in a pound, will surely have enough troubles to settle down domestically.

Some studies show there is a period of socialization among young dogs between six and thirteen weeks, where human presence is needed. The more attention they receive during this period, the sooner they will adapt to their new home. Dogs living at a pound during their first months, have never been properly educated, and this could be a major threat for their future training.
