I'm new to poodles and still learning ... interested if anyone else has seen a change in attitude to strangers with age ...
My miniature is coming up on his 1st birthday, and I've noticed lately that he is getting more standoffish with strangers we encounter when we are out. It's not a bad thing for me, some people don't want to stop and cuddle a min poodle puppy just because he thinks everyone in the world should love him, but I'm am curious as to whether this is a normal facet of poodle temperament?
He still adores anyone who comes into the house for any reason. No one we've ever encountered while out walking has ever been unkind to him, so it's not an aversion-with-cause.
