Are you familiar with the poodle breed?
When the poodle canine comes to mind do you think of small dog, tea cup size
dogs, large dogs or somewhere in between? None of these are wrong. The poodle
actually comes in a variety of sizes. The original poodle came from Europe and
was first bred as a hunting dog. The name comes from the German phrase for
puddles of water because breeders bred poodles and water retrievers to get
their hunting dogs. The poodle was raised to be a working dog unlike today’s
poodles which are often seen as fancy dogs that may not like to get their paws
dirty. Today the poodle comes in different sizes as well including the toy
poodle, miniature poodle, and standard size poodle. They love to run, play and
may have a little ‘hunting’ gene in them. For more information on this breed,
