what’s another many people consider the
poodle a frilly lapdog more akin to a
big hair drag doll than a proper
companion with the standard poodle was
first bred as a water retriever most
likely in Germany the poodles coat comes
in a kaleidoscope of colors among them
gray white apricot and black highly
intelligent and trainable and originally
bred as a working dog many people still
think of the poodle as a pampered pad or
a prissy show dog Carla wheeler

years ago mystery author Laurie Ann
Berenson solved the puzzle behind what
she should write about I wanted a dog
that wanted to be more involved with me
they are so people oriented part of what
the smaller poodles were bred to do was
to be companion dogs they want to do
what you want them to do they’re just
easy dogs to live with the poodle rates
second on at least one intelligence list
they bred a dog with a very dense coat
because they wanted it to be able to
stay warm in the cold water and then
they discovered that the water the coat
would absorb water and the dogs would
sink and so the hunters got this idea
that they were going to cut off any hair
that wasn’t strictly necessary and so
the big main coat in the front was to
keep the heart and the lungs warm and
the two pom-poms that you see on the
hips were to cover the kidneys and the
bracelets on the legs the bottoms of the
legs were to cover the joints so that
they wouldn’t stiffen up in the cold
water and the one on the end of the tail
was supposed to be like a little flag so
if the dog douve under after a duck or
something you’d see it wagging and you’d
know where the dog went not only does
their unique coat allow many allergy
sufferers to own a poodle they also
don’t shed and I do know that for a fact

perceptive attitude makes it a breed
apart from all others poodles
disposition no matter the size is upbeat
friendly and outgoing fact from 1960 to
1983 the poodle reigned is the most
popular breed in America and remains one
