Laughter, Energy and Heart

The Cartoon Poodles, a family of 6th-generation circus performers and animal trainers from Chile, specialize in working with poodles. For their human family, these poodles are more than just a tradition; they are considered part of the family. Over a dozen poodles live in luxury with their owners and have access to their own mobile outdoor exercise yard.

Training these poodles is straightforward, focusing on love, motivation, and treats. These lively and talented dogs entertain hundreds of spectators daily with their energy and charm.

Since leaving Chile in 1985, the Cartoon Poodles have performed for millions across the Caribbean, South, Central, and North America. Their colorful performances include flying through the air, dancing in glamorous costumes, performing Conga lines, high diving through hoops, comical boxing matches, and more, captivating audiences of all ages.

The Cartoon Poodles have earned high recognition in every country they’ve visited. Whether in an intimate setting, a grand “Big Top” venue, or a theatrical stage, the Cartoon Poodles promise to entertain and touch the hearts of their audience. We look forward to performing for you soon.
