History
Though sometimes called the “French Poodle”, the Standard Poodle does not come from France but instead has its roots in Germany. A water dog whose name comes from the German term “pudel”, which refers to his love of splashing and playing in water, the breed hunts and retrieves fowl from swamps and lakes. The distinct poodle clip (which will cord if left to grow out) keeps the dog warm while working in cold waters without slowing him down as he swims. Poodles have many claims to fame, not the least of which is their intelligence and highly trainable nature. The Standard Poodle is the largest of the Poodles, a category that also includes the toy and miniature version. He is highly versatile and has been used for many purposes, including as a guide dog, hearing ear dog, seizure detector, cancer detector, mobility assistant and therapy dog. The breed also succeeds at herding, hunting, pulling sleds, obedience, agility and pretty much anything else they are asked to do. No longer known just for their beauty, they also make wonderful family companions, and are considered one of the most popular breeds in North America today.
Personality
A proud intelligent dog, the Standard Poodle is an exceptionally versatile companion. He is good with children and other animals, with an affectionate nature and desire to please. Happy outdoors or in, he enjoys both mental exercise while training and doing tricks, and good old-fashioned runs outside.
