Hi all I am new here, and we are getting our first poodle in 4 weeks (moyen). We've been very excited as a family as we have not had a dog for a few years, we have 2 children aged 3 and 5 and I've read up 1000x that they are great family pets.
But then opinions have come along. I keep getting comments that they are aggressive and I should be careful with the kids. So now I am flooded with doubt and fear. I have friends that have poodle mixes and they are lovely dogs but I have had experience with an aggressive dog (not poodle) in my past and it has taken me a long time to move on from this which is why I felt ready to adopt now but I feel I have been put back in my place from years ago with the comments.
I am here basically wanting some positives from real poodle owners that this is breed bashing cos I am having my doubts now and we are so looking forward to having a new family member but I just feel like I have been shot down with my confidence again.
Thanks a lot
