#7 The first standard for the poodle was defined and published in Great Britain in 1886, later the breed standards were drawn up in Germany.
In each of these countries, animal breeding went its own way, which led to the emergence of different types of poodles. The British preferred the lightweight, graceful skeleton of the dog. And in imperial Germany, these dogs were bred, trying to give the breed a heavy, massive constitution. It is known that since the end of the 19th century, the archives of the Reich Chancellery of Kaiser's Germany were guarded by imposing royal poodles. For a long time in the countries of Eastern Europe - Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary - breeders were guided by German standards, in other countries they preferred poodles from the English "dynasty".
#8 In France, the first club of poodle lovers was opened only in 1923, but very soon this country received the title of the ancestor of the modern breed standard.
The long-term president of the club and the owner of the poodle kennel, Mademoiselle Galliani, has achieved excellent results in breeding dogs of large, small, and dwarf sizes, many of which have become champions. In 1936, the FCI (Cynological Federation International) approved the breed standard developed by the French Poodle Club.
#9 Poodles, whose appearance is distinguished by sophistication and elegance, are often called “female” dogs, and this is completely unfair.
Do not forget that hunting dogs were the ancestors of this adorable-looking dog. From them, the poodle got mobility, energy, love for an active lifestyle. He loves sports games with a ball, jogging with the owner, and the greatest pleasure he enjoys is swimming. However, the dog will also not mind lying on the couch with the owner and watching TV shows.
