The Poodle is a breed of dog. Poodles are intelligent, active dogs and come in varieties
distinguished by size, color, and coat. Toy, miniature, and standard poodles are distinguished
by adult shoulder height. Poodles come in many colors including black, white, red, apricot, silver,
and brown. They also appear in parti-color, or multi-colors. While the multi-color poodles can not
be shown in the American Kennel Club (AKC), Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) or any Federation Cynologique
Internationale (FCI) conformation ring, they can be shown in the United Kennel Club (UKC) show ring
and in all performance rings.
The FCI lists the country of origin as France. Poodles were originally gun dogs and may be seen occasionally
in that role. The show clips evolved from working clips which were originally to provide warmth for major
joints during duck hunts in cold water. The rest of the body is shaved for less drag in the water. Poodles
have been popular all through Europe for several hundred years. They also are skilled at most other dog
events including herding, agility, obedience and tracking.
They are elegant in the show ring, having taken top honors in many shows. The poodle coat is dense and
generally does not shed. As a result the coats in showing condition require extensive care and grooming.
Most pet Poodle owners keep their Poodles in much simpler cuts that are easier to care for and require less grooming.
The name poodle comes from the German word Pudel, which is short for Pudelhund, which means splashing dog.
This reflects the breed's former use as a retriever of water (the word Pudel is related to the English word puddle).
