Dogs In The Non-Sporting Group

The Poodle is very smart and does very well in obedience training.  The Poodle comes in three varieties; Standard, Miniature, and Toy.  The breed originated in Germany and was a water retriever.  The well-known Poodle clip came from the hunters who owned them; this unique clip allowed the Poodle to maneuver more efficiently in the water.  The Poodle was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1887.
