Poodles are ranked second, right behind Border Collies in the intelligence arena.
Pehaps your speaking from anecdotal experience, Gucci.
What about a Poodle is horrid?
Bad breeders/puppy mills/ and clueless dog owners are to blame for the most part.
I adopted a resue that was a cross between a Min-Pin/Rottweiler.
(which might have worked out, if the breeders would have considered the temperaments
of both breeds and the parents, which they did not.)
Reckless breeding for designer dogs to turn a quick profit is now all the rage.
There are Amish puppy mills in our area that we are trying to shut down.
Adopting from a shelter has its risks, but if I would still recommend doing so,
especially if the dog is beyond puppyhood, and you can spend some considerable
time observing its behavior.
To the OP:
What Gucci said in his last paragraph.
