Poodle — temperament, care and breeding in Dog Kennel Simulator
A very smart water dog, most likely from Germany — this page covers the Standard Poodle.
About the breed
History
The Poodle most likely comes from Germany, where it is called the “Pudel”. The FCI and a minority of experts place its origin in France, where it is called the “Caniche”. Similar dogs date back to at least the 17th century.
It began as a water dog: larger Poodles retrieved game from water for wildfowl hunters, while smaller ones were once common circus performers.
The breed has several varieties — Standard, Medium, Miniature and Toy — although the Medium is not universally recognised. This page describes the Standard Poodle, which the American Kennel Club lists in the Non-Sporting Group.
Temperament
The AKC describes the Poodle as active, proud and very smart. It likes to be vocal.
Care
The coat is thick and curly. Poodles come in many colours, but major registries recognise only solid colours. Shedding is infrequent.
The Standard Poodle stands over 38 cm. Males weigh 27–32 kg and females 18–23 kg. The life span is given as 10–18 years; smaller varieties tend to live longer.
