[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just get a mid-sized poodle. Not a standard, but not a toy. You can get different hair cuts to suit your aesthetic preference. They are smart, trainable and very definitely 'real' dogs.[/quote]

Mid sized poodles are great and all that you describe. Where do you get one these days though? I just see mini poodles being over bred to make designer dogs and that’s about it. [/quote]
From a breeder?  You can find them on the internet, breed club, dog show, recommendations from people who have bought from them in the past, etc. Not different than any other purebred dog.[/quote]

I never see them and yes I’ve looked. Post a link?

A mid sized poodle isn’t really a ‘breed’ . The standard sized and toy poodles are a breed but apparently a mid sized poodle is thought of as more of an after thought than a breed. [/quote]

The breed name for the mid sized is "miniature".  Definitely a breed.[/quote]
If the OP really needs a link, try these folks. http://washingtonpoodleclub.org/breeders.html
There are some listed for each size.[/quote]

I have a miniature poodle. He is 11 pounds and as far as I’m concerned the perfect dog. He was extremely easy to potty train and the top of his class when I took him to puppy school.  He is extremely sturdy, unlike a toy.   I have no trouble getting people to take care of him when I go on trips. as a matter of fact I have a list of people who are eager to take him as he is such a good little guy .   I am a huge advocate for a poodle. I’ve had a standard poodle in the past and he was the smartest dog I’ve ever owned but he was very large. Which is why this time I got a miniature [/quote]

My family had a miniature poodle (~15 lbs.) when I was a kid, and she was pretty much the best dog ever.  People who didn't like dogs loved this dog.  She was smart, not barky, was great with the kids as we arrived, didn't destroy anything but her chew toys, and loved people and was affectionate without being needy (of course, she was also quite popular and someone was always playing with her or walking her, so may not have had time to get needy).  I think some people in the family were more upset when the dog died than when certain relatives did.  Were I to get a dog, I'd go with a miniature poodle.[/quote]
