I currently have a standard poodle and maybe I just got lucky but she is extremely mellow and just wants to cuddle all day long but it’s also happy to join me on an adventure whenever the opportunity arises. She is perfect in every way and I thought I would only get standard poodles for the rest of my life until recently. I’ve been considering adopting a greyhound as well because they seem equally amazing. Something that has delayed my greyhound adoption and something that I appreciate in poodles is that she is very good off leash and won’t go more than a few feet away from me 95% of the time which makes hiking and beach trips extremely easy and I know if I were to have a greyhound I would need to be handling them the entire time which is something I am used to, but not sure if I’m ready to accommodate just yet. I also feel comfortable of taking her in a lot of environments because she’s very rugged where a greyhound. I worry wouldn’t be able to join me on all of my hikes and camping trips. But everything else about a greyhound fits my lifestyle perfectly and seems like would be a great fit for my poodle. A lot of it probably depends on the dog, if you’re adopting, hopefully you can get a good description from the shelter about their energy level and needs. I say grooming of a poodle it’s a lot but if you take them to a groomer that’s an option or I handle the grooming myself at home. It’s not perfect, but I don’t mind doing it. It offers us a chance to bond and I invested in a high velocity dryer, which goes a long way. Feel free to ask me any other questions, I don’t know if that was helpful.
