The Intelligent Poodle

Posted by Jeanne on December 23, 2008

The poodle has always been considered one of the more intelligent of breeds of dogs, if not the most intelligent. The breed was originated in Germany and was known as the Pudel. There it was used as a first-rate hunting dog.

It was the star performer among traveling players throughout Europe for centuries. The poodle reached the peak of popularity in France. giving forth to the name so commonly used, but improperly—French poodle. The poodle, as it is known to us today, was developed in England and the United States.

The poodle is, indeed, a dog of almost unique versatility. It is a thing of beauty whether romping with children, seen in fashion magazines, or appearing in the show ring. Every person who has ever owned or known a poodle will agree fully with me.
