How intelligent is the Poodle dog?

Poodles (Toy, Miniature, Standard Poodles) are very, very, "highly" intelligent. They are very quick to train. They thrive on pleasing their masters, and make Excellent companions and pets. They are smarter than a bulldog.

This depends on the breeding, as well as socialization of the dog. In general poodles are known to be very smart and were used for hunting and other sporting activities. They take training as any other dog would. Most of the time it is not so much that the dog is dumb but rather the own that does not know how to train and teach the dog. From a personal view I have owned 4 poodles and never had a "dumb" one in the bunch. I have owned Standard Poodles that I have shown in AKC events. I have had tiny toys and toys also. So from a personal view I would have to say that they are very intelligent for the most part. Again go to a reliable breeder, be sure to see and spend time with parents of puppy. Find a class or read some books on how to train your dog. It is always best to start a basic training class as early as you can.

toy poodles are generally very easy to train. They care a lot about pleasing their masters and are very cute.
