The Poodle is a highly intelligent, energetic, and versatile breed, originally bred for water retrieving in hunting. They are quick learners, making them excellent for obedience, agility, and service work. Their curly-haired coat is low-shedding and hypoallergenic, but requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Training is easy, as Poodles are one of the most intelligent dog breeds, and their energy levels vary by size—Standard Poodles are more active, while Toy and Miniature Poodles adapt well to smaller spaces.
Originally bred as a water retriever in Germany, the Poodle became popular in France and was refined into the breed known today. Over the centuries, it has been prized for its intelligence, versatility, and elegant appearance.
