About the Poodle
The Poodle is a breed of dog noted for its ability in the water and bird hunting skills. This breed comes in three sizes: Standard, 15 in at the shoulder Miniature, over 11 in high Toy, under 11 in.

Poodles are generally intelligent, alert, and active. In particular, the Standard variety is quite independent and has a noticeable hunting drive. Even Toys will point birds. Because they are so intelligent, they can become bored easily, and can get quite creative about finding mischief.

Poodles are extremely people-oriented dogs and, therefore, are eager to please. They are excellent watchdogs, but unlike some working breeds, don't usually become "one-person" dogs when they are part of a family. Standard Poodles in particular tend to be good with children. When they are from good bloodlines, all three varieties are fairly mellow dogs.
Poodles are adaptable and easy to train. They don't require as much exercise as other hunting or working breeds (even the Standards), but being agile and athletic, they appreciate lots of exercise.

The poodle is often thought of as a French poodle but it is an old breed and originated in Germany or Russia or Iberia.
