The story of Poodle

Why the name Poodle?  The name poodle is a derivative of the old German extraction "pudeln" which roughly translates as "to splash in water." 

Though is been debated for a long time, the Poodle's origins traces back to Central Europe and Asia areas, but it is commonly associated with France.  Hence - The French Poodle.  I tend to go with perhaps Germany.  

Poodles make excellent companions and are very loyal to their owners.

Poodles have a double coat which has the texture and appearance of wool (although it is not). 

Poodles are great pets for people that suffer from allergies because they do not have a true shedding coat.  (It just mats if not brushed) 

It's been said that during the early breeding of the poodle, they were originally meant to be water dogs, retrieving game fowl that were trapped of shot down by the water.
