Growing up I had a friend with a poodle and a german shepherd. The german shepherd used to pull us back up the hill after we sledded down it in winter. He LOVED doing that. This friend was the youngest of 5 and in second grade I was spending the night before Halloween at her house. Her older sister was supposed to be there with us. Her sisters all told each other to watch us and went to parties. Then her older bro broke into the basement to scare us and to get to the liquor cabinet down there. We called my parents because hers were at a party for their anniversary (adults only party). My dad and uncle came over and couldn't get into the house.
NOT because the german shepherd but because the POODLE was attacking. My friend couldn't even get to the dog so my dad got leather gloves from the car and grabbed the little thing and put it in a bathroom. The shepherd was standing up licking my uncle's face, lol. Then my dad found her bro inthe basement taking all the bottles of booze and gave him what for, and took us back to our house. That poodle thought the shepherd was her baby and you did NOT go near that shepherd when he was sleeping. HE didn't care but the poodle would hurt you. They finally put it down a few years later and every friend the family had was glad. I was the only one it wouldn't bite. Mostly cause I bit it back one day. I don't like being bitten and my friend got all angry with me but was amazed later because the dog was sweet as could be to me no matter what. I still didn't get too close if I could avoid it.
Poodles are strange. But that is just my view and I am not that well versed in care and nature of poodles.
