Poodle Did You Know?


  • The denominations Standard, Miniature, and Toy are used to describe size only. All the Poodles are one breed, governed by the same standard.


  • The Toy Poodle is known for superior intelligence and exceptional learning ability.


  • The Poodle clip is not merely decorative (though it may seem that way now); it is in fact a necessary clip meant to protect the joints and vital organs in cold water.


  • The Toy Poodle achieved great popularity in France and was known worldwide as a "trick dog." They were court favorites during the reign of Louis XVI and Queen Anne.


  • The Toy Poodle, like all Poodles, possesses wonderful swimming ability; the coat is adapted to water, and will cord if left to grow naturally.


  • Grover Cleveland owned a Poodle (although some reports say it was a Pekingese).
