Although today's Poodles appear to epitomize a life of leisure and luxury, make no mistake: These are genuine dogs bred to do genuine occupations. whereas it barely seems possible when you gaze at a primped-up Poodle in the display ring, the breed was originally a water retriever, a job that needs jumping in the water to convey waterfowl for hunters.
In detail, the English name poodle is drawn from from the German word pudel, or pudelin, which means to splash in the water. And in France, Poodles are called Caniche, a name drawn from from chien canard, meaning duck dog.

Even the elaborate coat fashioning that the breed's known for once had a practical purpose: trimmed localities lightened the heaviness of the dog's coat and wouldn't snag on underwater debris, while long hair around the junctions and crucial body parts defended the dog from the cold water.

There are three sizes of Poodle, all advised part of the identical type: going from least significant to largest, these are the plaything, the Miniature, and the Standard. The Standard is likely the oldest of the three diversity, and some still carry on the Poodle tradition of employed as a water retriever.

No matter the size, Poodles are renowned for a playful but dignified personality and enthusiastic intelligence. When it comes to teaching, this is an "A" scholar, and the Poodle excels at presentation sports such as obedience, agility, and hunt tests.

regardless of his regal air, the Poodle is no snob. These are people-friendly canines who desire to stay close to their families--they get lonesome when left by themselves for long periods--and are always up for a good game.
