What Poodles are like to live with
The Royal Kennel Club calls the Poodle a "glamorous, intelligent breed descended from European duck hunters". It says the breed originates in Germany as a water retriever, and that the famous trim is "traditional and very practical": the hindquarters were clipped to help the dog swim, and bands of hair were left on the joints and tail tip for protection from cold.

Where can I adopt a Poodle in Leicester?
With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Poodles on this page are with East Midlands Dog Rescue (2), Ashbourne Animal Welfare (1) and Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
Do Poodles shed?
The Royal Kennel Club lists all three Poodle sizes as not shedding, and Dogs Trust describes low shedding, but the coat needs grooming every day and professional clipping from time to time. Doodle Trust says no dog is allergy friendly, so if someone at home has allergies, ask the rescue whether you can spend time with the dog first.
What is the difference between Standard, Miniature and Toy Poodles?
Size. The Royal Kennel Club recognises three varieties that share one breed standard: the Standard is over 38 cm at the shoulder, the Miniature between 28 and 38 cm, and the Toy under 28 cm. All three need up to an hour of exercise a day and grooming every day.
Are Poodles good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 4 Poodles listed in and around Leicester today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7.

Are there Poodle puppies for sale in Leicester?

The 4 Poodles listed in and around Leicester today are with East Midlands Dog Rescue at Enderby, about 4 miles away (2), Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue at Coalville, about 11 miles away (1) and Ashbourne Animal Welfare at Ashbourne, about 36 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

If you searched "poodle puppies for sale Leicester", the Poodles here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.
Can I get a free Poodle to a good home in Leicester, or one under £500?
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.

Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
