Nico in Wonderland

................. ................. Standard Poodle ............... Mininature Poodle ............... Toy Poodle ................. ........................ You have perhaps seen that I mostly have poodles and a lot of other breeds. This is because I of course love all dogs, but poodles have a special place in my life. I currently have a poodle mix at home. Poodles are an ancient breed from Germany, from even before the 17th century. They where also loved by the French, and even became there national breed. The poodle where used as gun dogs and water dogs. They are however categorized as companion dogs under the FCI. ................................................... ................................................... ......... The poodle is also distinguished between size and color. The poodle is know in four diffrent sizes, standard, medium, mini and toy. Then each size is catorized in the colors White, Black, Brown, as one group, and Grey, Abricot, Red, as the second group. The third group is know as other colors or French Curly. The third group contains the parti/piebald colors and the tan colors. ................. ................................................... ................................................... The reason that solid colors where more loved among the poodle owners was because it was the fashion during the time that the poodle dog gained popularity. the upcoming of the poodle was around the 18th century, and had it's peak during the early 19th. It was also around that time that rules and hairstyles came in to play for the dogshows. And that the poodle became less used as an hunting dog and more as an companion. ..................................... This breed is however one of the most intelegent dogs in the world. Rainking second on the list, just under the border collie. These dogs have also not an fitting personalitie to be a familie's first dog or any persons first dog for that matter. Because first of these dogs are not lapdogs, and just a walk around the park is not enough. Poodles need to be challenged to be happy, otherwise they wil develop behavior issuse. And al that fore every size of poodle, and we havend even talked about the grooming and trimming for these dogs. ............ .................... .................... .................... .................... ..................... .................... .................... .................... .................... .................... .................... .................... .................... .................... ....................
