5 Interesting Facts About Poodles!

  • Poodles are consistently ranked as the second most intelligent dog breed in the world, after the Border Collie - they can learn new commands in fewer than 5 repetitions and obey them 95% of the time.
  • The iconic poodle clip wasn't designed for beauty - it was a practical working trim for water retrieving dogs. The pompoms were left to protect joints and vital organs from cold water, while the rest was clipped short for easier swimming.
  • Poodles were originally bred in Germany as water retrieving dogs - the name comes from the German 'Pudelhund' meaning 'splashing dog', and they were used to retrieve waterfowl from lakes and rivers.
  • Their curly, dense coat is hypoallergenic - poodle fur grows continuously like human hair rather than shedding, which makes them popular for people with dog allergies and also means they need regular grooming.
  • Three sizes of poodle are recognised - standard, miniature and toy - all sharing the same intelligence, temperament and coat type but dramatically different in size, ranging from under 25cm to over 60cm tall.
