Pudelid

Pudelid, also known as Poodles, are a breed of dog originating from Germany. They are part of the toy group and are known for their intelligence, hypoallergenic coat, and distinctive curly or corded coat. Poodles come in three sizes: standard, miniature, and toy. The breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI).

The Poodle's history dates back to the 17th century, where they were used as water dogs to retrieve game from the water. Their intelligence and trainability made them popular among nobility and later, as working dogs in various roles such as hunting, herding, and police work. The breed's distinctive coat is the result of selective breeding for a hypoallergenic coat, which is achieved through regular grooming and trimming.

Poodles are known for their high energy levels and require regular exercise and mental stimulation. They are also prone to certain health issues, including hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and bloat. Despite these challenges, Poodles are a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a highly trainable and intelligent companion.
