Okay, so I think I have voiced it many times before that I want a standard poodle, I absolutely love their elegant look and they’ve been my dream dog since I was a child.
The more I talk about it with my boyfriend, the more I start to realize that he might not be the biggest fan of spoos. He loves the look, but I don’t think he likes the size too much. Now that I think about it, he’s mentioned the toy and medium size before too. One day, when I get this dog, it’ll be 100% mine—we don’t share dogs but we sharethe responsibility if that makes sense. Since we share the responsibility, I do want him to be comfortable as well.
If that means I may have to consider a different size, I don’t mind. Well, okay maybe I mind a little bit, since I do have some problems I hope no one will be a offended by. The first is kind of stupid, but I kind of mind a toy lol. I already have a tiny dog and I don’t want her to be exactly ousted(joke, but my chihuahua tends to get jealous of anything that can fit on my lap)!Toys tend to get tangled up between my legs too; I can’t count how many times I’ve almost tripped over my dog. I don’t want to watch out for a another tiny dog. Not to mention, my favorite physical feature of a spoo is their muzzle, I really do think it gives them a certain...je ne sais quoi! It’s very hard to find a mini or toy without a tiny, extremely narrow muzzle. Don’t get me wrong, I find it cute! And maybe I shouldn’t compare it considering that really has to do with size and maybe nothing else?
I know there’s most likely a topic on here describing the difference in size and why they’re so different and why each one is so great, it may also link to articles too. BUT I really want to hear from the owners of the variations. What are the pros of each size? What’s the cons you’ve found? Why did you choose that size over the other ones?
