What is a Poodle?
The Poodle is a purebred dog breed available in four official sizes: Toy (under 2.7 kg), Miniature (4.5–7 kg), Medium (9–13 kg), and Standard (23–32 kg). Despite their glamorous appearance, Poodles were originally bred as water retrievers in Germany, and their intelligence and athleticism remain exceptional.
Poodles are the most intelligent breed used in creating doodle hybrids precisely because they pass their trainability, low-shedding coat, and friendly temperament to their offspring.
