A Little Bit about the Toy Poodle

Posted on April 9, 2010 by Noel

The name Poodle is probably derived from the German word pfudel that means puddle. The origin of the Poodle is generally assumed to be France. It probably was actually first seen in Russia and Germany. The standard size in Russia and Germany were used as water retrievers. In France the Poodle is known as the National Dog of France. The standard version of the Poodle originated in the fifteenth century. The Toy variety came 300 years later.

The ancestors of the Poodle were probably the Barbets and other ancient curly-coated breeds.
