Meet Reggie
Poodle (Toy), 3 years old
My favourite thing about Reggie is...
His enthusiasm for life, his energy, his love of humans and dogs, his intelligence, affectionate nature, willingness to learn.
The biggest challenge with Reggie is...
His unpredictability when it concerns food. He would be happy if I gave him only human food!!
The most surprising thing about owning a Poodle (Toy) is...
Their energy and speed. And I love his ability to jump high from standing.
What I wish I’d known about Poodles (Toy) is...
I knew what to expect. My brother has three but not one of his has Reggie’s energy
Did you know?
Poodles - especially the ones you see in the show ring - seem to have all kinds of crazy hairdos but these often flamboyant-looking styles all started off with a purpose. Poodles were originally water-retrieving dogs but their coats could easily get water-logged and pull them down. The answer was to clip off all their hair but leave some around their vital organs to keep them warm, and around any vulnerable joints to protect from injury.
