Blue Poodles
Blue Poodles are one of the most friendly breed of Poodles which make them exceptional family dogs. These Poodles are not purebred Poodles and only appear this way because of how their color is fading, they are born black then their fur will continue to fade this normally takes a year for some but it can go up to 2 years for it to fully fade to their blue looking coat. Sometimes the coat might turn to even a metal gray and come in different sizes such as Toy, Miniature and Standard.
Blue Poodles are one of the smartest breeds out there because of their ability to memorize human commands so precisely that they seem to be understanding human speech. The color of their fur is even considered as one of the prettiest and rare colors out there.
Its important to note just to be completely clear, Blue Poodles aren’t blue at all but they are a faded black and the sheen on the fur just appears blue in certain lighting. When choosing a Blue Poodle as a puppy its important to walk around with them for a moment first so you can see the light on the fur to see how light or dark the fur is also you can examine their paws to see if there is any silver or white fur hiding.
Grooming a Blue Poodle
The first best thing about Blue Poodles is that they don’t really shed and that’s great compared to some that will fill your house with fur. Blue Poodles have a really thick coat and are always eye catchers solely based on the shade coat that they have so to maintain this regular grooming is important. I always recommend brushing your Poodle daily for them to have that well groomed and tidy look but atleast three per week is okay.
Blue Poodles love the water so you won’t have any issues when they need to be cleaned and he’ll need to be washed at least twice per month when you use the right shampoo. We always recommend that you properly comb your Poodles and remove any tangles found before you start to wash them.
What Should I Feed My Blue Poodle?
To make sure that you Blue Poodle is eating healthy you should ensure that a third of what they eat is meat products, they do also eat natural food as well. You can even treat your Poodle to some pasta but in small amounts, if he doesn’t seem to be eating his raw foods you can give him a little cheesecake to open up his appetite. You should try to fit some vegetables in his diet and the best way to do that is by making a salad and adding a little vegetable oil or sour cream.
When your Poodle is about two months old you should feed them 3-4 times per day and as they grow to about 6 months you’ll cut it down to no more than 3 times. As they grow older and begin to pass 8 months you’ll only need to feed him twice per day.
Conclusion
Blue Poodles are no harder to care for than any other Poodle so its just as good a breed as any other and they are just as cute. The blue looking coat that they come with is one of the rarest out there and is one of the most beautiful so that combined with the friendly personality that they have makes them a great pet for your family.
