A Poodle is a wonderful and not least intelligent dog breed, which is available in different sizes: both in a very small size, a slightly smaller size, a medium size and a large size. In addition to these different sizes, they are also available in many different coat colors and shades. A Poodle has a historical origin as a hunting dog that is good in water, and this also means that a Poodle is good at agility, dog training, tracking and even as a shepherd dog, if you wish for the breed. The Poodle is known to be one of the world's best companion dogs, and it is the versatility and its ability to adapt that do this. The fact is that the breed is loving and good-natured in relation to the whole family, and it is never pale to play with the family's children. Another good quality the Poodle possesses is that it is vigilant without being either barking or repulsive towards strangers and other dogs. A Poodle is therefore suitable for all kinds of people and it can fit in quite unproblematically in different environments. The breed is teachable and suitable for almost any type of dog activity, as mentioned above.
It is believed that the Poodle may have come to France via Germany from Russia and is believed to have originated from very old Water Spaniels. It was supposed to swim out and make the waterfowl fly up. As a companion dog, it has been known since the 17th century. The great Poodle has also been used as a shepherd dog and to sniff out truffles underground, and during the great wars of the last century, it did a good job as a sanitation and ordinance dog. The three smaller sizes have come step by step through breeding on particularly small individuals. They must be proportionate and not show signs of dwarfism.

The different size variants of the Poodles have slightly different needs where it is such that; The largest of the poodles require a lot of employment in the form of the ability to move around freely. However, this is how the breed's exercise needs decrease in line with size. However, one should not be mistaken that even the smallest sizes of the breed need daily walks and tasks that stimulate it mentally and fulfill its need for exercise. Common to all the Poodles is that they appreciate attention and close contact with their fellow human beings.
The breed's rather abundant fur has a fine, wooly structure, which feels enormously soft. The coat should be brushed frequently, washed regularly and clipped every one or two months. The ear canals should be cleaned of hair. Fur care is demanding, but, on the other hand, the dog does not shed and is therefore tolerated by many allergy sufferers. The String Poodle is a variant where the fur forms at least 20 cm long thick strings. Fur care is extensive, and it's no secret. This is something you must be prepared for if you want a dog of this breed.
Subject to the size of the Poodle, the breed is really intelligent, attentive and teachable. The breed is agile and willing, and it is always ready to learn a new trick. The upbringing never really creates difficulties if you start the upbringing early and use friendly consequences as part of the training.
