Poodle owners say for fact that Poodles have a very human way of thinking that is unique to this breed. They have an innate intelligence. The Poodle’s ability to learn is considered exceptional. Poodles are faster than any other breed at discovering that spoken words mean something and they are thought to understand more spoken words than other breeds.. Many Poodle owners believe that Poodles actually come close to understanding grammar and whole sentences rather that just single words.

In all probability, the breed originated in Germany or possibly in Russia. It is known as "Puddeln" or "Pudel" in German, meaning a puddle dog or one that likes splashing water. In France, it is known as the Duck Dog. All of the Poodle's ancestors were good swimmers. Toy Poodles were very popular in England as a lap dog. All of the different sizes of the Poodle are considered to be one breed. This is an elegant looking breed with a sense of humor. Poodles are loyal, gentle, obedient, and good with children. They also do not shed, and having hair more like human hair instead of "fur", they are the most hypo-allergenic breed available.

In the United States the Standard Poodle is 15 inches or more in height and weighs 45 to 65 pounds. It is the oldest of the three varieties and was traditionally used as a water retriever. It is closely related to the Portuguese Water Dog and the Irish Water Spaniel.

The Miniature Poodle's height range is between 10 and 15 inches in the United States. He weighs 10 to 18 pounds. The Miniature Poodle is probably the best known and the most numerous of the three sizes. He is full of fun, easy to train, and a great circus performer. Because of his keen sense of smell, he was used to search out truffles during winter months. This breed really enjoys obedience work.

The Toy Poodle in the United States is 10 inches maximum in height and weighs about 6 pounds. There is also a "teacup" or "pocket" Toy. This is not an official size but a marketing ploy used to sell very small Toy Poodles.
