The French bull dog and the French poodle appear lovely, yet give a sense of pride for their owners with plenty qualities to boast about. Although many trace the origin of the French poodles to France, a few people consider that they might have originated either in Russia or Iberia. Notwithstanding the origin, the people of France decided to elaborate the breed to bring the latest variant that exists today.
In the German language, the word 'Pudelhund' that means 'water dog' has been shortened to 'Pudel' and thus the name poodles originated. The initial purpose of the French poodle was to aid in hunting waterfowl, and this perhaps led to the German name it now has.
The body of the French poodle is densely covered with hair, that was periodically sheared to make sure they could swim without much difficulty. But the hair in the legs was not sheared to make certain protection from thorny reeds and to enable warmth in cold weather conditions. In due course of time, clipping or shearing the hair became a label of the poodle. Owners sought to various kinds of shearing styles because it pleased them. There was thus a remarkable aesthetic discernment making them look very good on the one hand and peculiarly odd on the other hand.
One man's meat is another man's poison - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; so the sayings go. The basic methods of clipping are the "Pet", the "English Saddle" and the "Continental". Only these types of clipping are acceptable in shows.
A grown-up poodle's shoulder height alone can be used to determine the type of breed. Standard, Miniature and Toy are three different breeds of the French poodle dog. They are of various colors including white, apricot, black, bluish charcoal and many other. Dogs of varying shades or colors are not accepted by the American Kennel Club.
The distinct external features of the French Poodle enable an easy recognition of the breed. The Toy breed is lower than ten inches high while the Standard breed is fifteen inches or taller. The Miniature breed has a height in between ten and fifteen inches. Each French poodle has lengthy flat ears and holds its head high with an air of dignity. They have brown or black eyes with an explicit expression, and their body is relatively long.
The French Poodle, just like the Blue French bulldog, is happy-go-lucky, amusing, remarkably smart and sensitive. The breed is an obedient one and is adept at learning tricks and can be seen in circuses, predominantly as a star attraction, where they perform in pomp and splendor. That the French Poodle seems to have an uncanny knack for understanding human speech is the considered opinion of many a French Poodle owner.
The French Poodle gets along famously with all members of a family, from the oldest to the youngest and in fact feels disappointed if left out from family activities. It is somewhat fiercely protective and makes a good watch dog.
An everyday walk is compulsory for the French poodle because it demands adequate physical exercise. They love outdoors, playing about cheerfully. In accordance with its name, the French poodle has an unusual fondness for water. It is also important to groom the dog and usually the 'lamb' trimming is done. This makes the coat appear like that of a lamb, also making it is cost-effective and easy to take care of. The more stylish ones demand experts to do the job. The versatility and charming nature of the French poodle make it worth having.
