Swiss Mountain Poodle Dog Breed

Below are details and specs for the Swiss Mountain Poodle dog breed.

Expect the Swiss Mountain Poodle to bond quickly with his family and protect them with his own life if necessary. Even though they are high energy, they are a great family dog; just keep in mind that they may do better in a house with older children. The Swiss Mountain Poodle will make an excellent companion, so long as the dog knows his place and is mentally stimulated as well as loved. He enjoys the company of his human companions, and does best living in the house with them.

He's a good watchdog - he will bark - but he is not aggressive. Other requirements include a good walk each day, and some fun games where they can chase a ball until they tire of it to burn off their energy. The Swiss Mountain Poodle will love your attention, and sources claim that they are extremely affectionate and sociable, although this combination often likes to bark at everything and anything, including strangers, but not necessarily in an aggressive way. They can get lonely if left home unaccompanied for a long time so they need to have plenty to keep them busy while you are not home. But all Swiss Mountain Poodle need structured, persistent training from an early age as well as focused socialization around children, strangers, and other pets if they are to be well-adjusted members of the family and well-mannered when taken out in public.
