Poodles have long been recognized as one of the more popular breeds of dogs around. This dog breed has enjoyed centuries of interacting with humans and forming a close bond with their families.

Originally breed as a hunting dog, the poodle still maintains its hunting instinct and will often "point" at prey. The dog breed was thought to have started in Russia but it was in France where the breed was better established and grown.

Poodles come in a variety of colors including, white, brown and black. Their coats are known to be very dense and they don't shed which makes them a very attractive pet for many. They do need to be groomed and their fur needs to be taken care of and this includes brushing, washing and clipping the fur. Poodles can also be shaved which is an easy way to maintain their coats.

These dogs are very intelligent and easy to train. They generally have an easy going temperament and fit into most families very well. Poodle puppies can be found in almost all areas, but it is important to find a good breeder to purchase from.
