Poodle Breed Information:
The FCI has listed the Poodle's country of origin as France, but the breed's true origin is the subject of lively dispute in the dog world. Some experts believe the Poodle may have originated in Russia or Iberia; Germany is also frequently cited because the breed's name comes from the German word pudel, short for pudelhund, which means "splashing dog." This reflects the working breed's use as a water bird retriever. Many sources believe that the Poodle's show clips evolved from working clips, which provided warmth to major joints, while the rest of the body was shaved down for less drag in the water. However, most sources concur that the French are responsible for developing the modern breed into its current three sizes, all determined by shoulder height: standard, miniature, and toy. Others believe the French Circus is where the entertaining, but highly impractical, show clips originated. The Poodle is an elegant breed, taking top honors in many show rings of today. Poodles are intelligent, alert, and active. Historically, their aptitude has made them ideal for performing in circuses across the globe for centuries. Otherwise notable is the breed's keen sense for instinctual behavior. In particular, marking and hunting drives are more readily observable than in most other breeds. Even Toy Poodles will point birds. Poodles are extremely people-oriented dogs and generally eager to please. They make excellent watchdogs, but don't usually become "one-person" dogs like other working breeds when they are part of a family. Poodles are adaptable, easy to train, and learn very quickly. Potty training can be difficult with many dogs, but not with the Poodle..
