Poodle: temperament The FCI classification says that the character of the Poodle is that of a companion dog, placing it in the 9th group, second section. Precisely for this reason, it was much appreciated by noblewomen of the seventeenth century, a time when these quadrupeds curls were welcome guests in patrician houses where they found themselves - unbeknownst to them - labeled as `aristocratic dogs`. Aristo ... what? Is the character of the Poodle really snobbish? Or is it just a stereotype? The fact is that, presumed or real temperament, this belief is very common, so much so that its diffusion suffers. Still remains a myth to debunk, that of the snobbish Poodle, because this quadruped is bright and cheerful, much more suited to a family or a young couple than to a petulant noblewoman. And yet ... but we`ll try to explain it. The Poodle is very intelligent, it is a dog full of initiative and with a touch of cunning: it means that it will never obey a command that seems absurd or meaningless. Therefore, do not expect the Poodle`s temperament to be helpful and surrendered to your will.
