Wife really wants a poodle but I'm just not sure about the carpet like hair. Is it still soft? How often do we have to trim that?

It has a “wirey” feel. I guess you could compare it to carpet. I understand what you mean. Poodles have hair not fur. So it doesn’t have to be trimmed as often. Every 4-8 weeks.

Very interesting 🤔 they don't shed at all apparently. Might be willing to consider a poodle depending on how much the wife pushes for it. Thanks for the article was informative 👍

You’re welcome! I’m a fan of poodles. Plus they’re smart! Some are trained as guide dogs. Golden doodles, labradoodles are mixed breeds of golden retriever/poodle and Labrador/poodle.

You can also get a “toy” poodle if the kids want a smaller dog.

If you want a dog that’s low maintenance but a smaller dog, beagle is a good option.
