This is a Poodles page.
The Poodle comes in three sizes—Standard, Miniature, and Toy Poodle—but all three are included under the same breed standard. Poodles of any size are highly intelligent—they are ranked as the second smartest dog breed. They are eager and enthusiastic, ready to work and willing to please. Poodles are adept swimmers, originally used to retrieve game from the water. In fact, their name comes from the German word pudel meaning "to splash in the water." The Poodle is a friendly, outgoing breed that is happy to spend time with family and usually welcomes the chance to meet new people.
