The more Poodle owners, breeders and the public know about the breed, the brighter the future for upcoming generations of Poodles will be. To that end, we produce a wide range of educational materials, from general information for the new Poodle owner to detailed health bulletins for owners and breeders. Most of these materials may be downloaded for free from the Versatility in Poodles website at http://www.vipoodle.org/docs/VIP_education.html.

VIP maintains a comprehensive site on the internet ( http://www.vipoodle.org/ ) with extensive pages of educational, health, and performance information. The site also includes links to other useful sites such as the Poodle History Project, the Poodle Health Registry, the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, the Canine Health Foundation and the Poodle Club of America.

A DVD showcasing the Versatile Poodle is available from VIP. This DVD highlights the Poodle performing many diverse activities. To order a copy of this DVD, go to http://www.vipoodle.org/docs/VIP_pamphlets.html.
