Although I don't know any poodles & anyone who has one
that I could get to know in person, I don't think they are a
snippy breed at all. If any dogs are aggressive in that way with
other dogs it's either bad breeding or lack of proper training &
socializing of the dog from an early age. I don't believe any one
breed is bad or has bad instincts. I'm sorry you happened to
come upon some of the less well trained poodles.
