Neigbor has a standard un clipped poodle and people dont know what it is.Looks like a big curly ball and he is crazy.loves the pond,the ball(s)the kids and keeps a good eye on the place.
I read some where poodles were used in I think WW1 for something.. all that plus and no fur
I've never had one (I have big hairy golden retrievers and big not so shedding but bearded spinone--well in the past but not at the moment). But with only one exception every one I've known has been very cool and fun loving. I don't know a whole lot about their history other than they were originally bred as retrievers. Some people do still use them for that. They do look rather cool when corded altho I wouldn't put in that kind of work.
