People do not know the history of Poodles.
They were once bird dogs of great renown and have been used by the French as police dogs.
A Standard Poodle is not to be trifled with.
They are intelligent and can be quite ferocious.
Most only see the “silly haircut”, which was actually a very efficient means of both creating buoyancy in the water while insulating the dog’s joints from the cold.
My first dog was a Miniature Poodle and if you messed with me, she would bite you.
When I later got Dobes, she ran them like rented mules.
They backed down from her every single time.
Sounds like my Emma!
