    My poodle and my mom’s 3 other poodles are anything but fiesty. I have no idea where you heard that, but they are great dogs that are very intelligent and obedient. At least the larger varieties.

      I’ve always been a bit skeptical of the “dog temperament” being closely related to the dog breed.

      The only real trend I’ve noticed is that bigger dogs tend to be way more chill and happy to engage in petting and cuddling

        But I think that’s what it is. Poodles are very intelligent and high energy. They need that mental stimulation and regular activity, or they will act out.

        My pitbull is more low key. She’s fine with snoozing most of the day and doesn’t want to walk if it’s raining. The positive trait that gets her in trouble is she is very protective. Woe to anyone that comes up behind me
