However, all three variations are by far the most popular hypoallergenic dog breeds in the world — for good reason! As you can see, the name says it all.
Even in their name, there are signs of what Poodles were bred for. These dogs are, without question, associated with water and were developed to be in water. In the past, dog breeding had the primary goal of creating dogs that were excellent at certain skills or that had a certain temperament. We call them purpose-bred dogs. Depending on the reason for wanting a dog, breeders will look for specific physical or characteristic attributes and behaviors.
Each dog breed that we know today will have likely been bred with a particular role or job in mind. For instance, many dogs were bred as hunting dogs, retrievers, guard dogs, herders or as loyal companions. No matter their designation, there will have been selective breeding to ensure that the breed developed characteristics that were ideal for their role.
By way of example, a guard dog will not be bred with the same behavioral traits as a dog that is bred to be a family pet and lap dog. There is a strong belief that Poodles actually descended from the curly-haired hunting dogs of Asia.
Instead, they were retrieving dogs. From temperaments to physical qualities, the Poodle has all the components that make up a highly capable water-retriever. Hunters would shoot down waterfowl aquatic birds , such as ducks, and geese, then let the Poodles bring them back over the river, lake or other body of water. To be great water-retrievers, they needed the right temperament and qualities. For instance, Poodles were bred to be agile in the water and their curly coat is water-resistant.
These dogs also needed to be eager learners , which they were. The Poodle has, of course, had many differing roles aside from duck retrieving. But perhaps the most interesting of them all is as a circus performer. By the end of the 19th century , waterfowl hunting had declined. As a result, there were a lot less Poodles being bred for this job.
Instead, they were frequently used in circuses that traveled all around Europe. And, they were a huge hit! Every trick she learned, my mom showed her just once. Say the command, and she had it.
She was extremely smart. In fact, Poodles are the second most intelligent breed for obedience and work intelligence. When comparing how quickly a dog breed learns a command and the success rate that the dog will obey a known command, only the Border Collie scored higher.

If your have a poodle or any dog with serious health issues and live in or near Massacusetts I strongly recommend a visit to Tufts Emergency Animal Hospital. Also, I you are not satisfied with an answer you receive from a vet rin to another vet for a consultation. My white poodle had a cough and I kept going to the vet I had been seeing and was repeatedly told it was just allergies. I finally asked for xrays to be taken of his chest and asked to see them.
I saw something and she tried to tell me it was nothing. A friend recommended a nearby vet who saw my dog immediately. She sent the xrays to a radiologist.
