Poodle

The poodle breed is found in small, medium, and large sizes, and in many coat colors. Originally bred as a type of water dog, the poodle is skillful in many dog sports, including agility, obedience, tracking, and even herding.

Poodles are intelligent, alert, and active. Classified as highly energetic, poodles can also get bored fairly easily and have been known to get creative about finding mischief. Poodles are extremely people-oriented dogs and generally eager to please. Standard Poodles in particular tend to be good with children.
