History of the French Poodle
Although the Poodle is usually referred to as the �French� poodle, it�s believed that the Greeks originally bred it for sea sponge diving, and then later the Spanish adopted it for lobster diving. They come in different sizes, with the Standard (more than 15 inches at the highest point of the shoulders), Miniature (10-15 inches) and Toy (less than 10 inches at shoulder height) groups recognized by the AKC. The poodle carries itself proudly, is extremely intelligent, and has been used in circus performances for centuries, as it�s a natural performer. The German word �Pudel� means �one who plays in the water� while the French refer to it as the �Caniche� or duck dog. They have a thick, curly coat, which is usually shaved in different �cuts� if the dog is being shown, such as the Continental, or the English saddle cut. Due, in part, to its incredible popularity it is also the national dog of France. Select this link to view our unique Christmas ornaments.

Dog Behavior:
Dogs require a great deal of training to be suitable to be called indoor dogs, and that training must encompass more than just a few days. These are some tips for �house breaking� your dog. Keep in mind, however, that there is much more to training a dog than what is written here, so it is best to consult informative dog sites and references to get more in-depth information. It is natural for dogs to attempt to establish dominance, so to properly train a dog to be an indoor dog its important for the owner to assert him/herself as the �alpha� member immediately. As a puppy the amount of time a dog is given to eat should be timed by the owner, and the doggie bowl should then be picked up, whether he is finished or not. The owner should also ensure that the amount of time the puppy has outdoors is regulated, and that he is on a leash at all times; this will instill the importance of the dog being next to the owner at all times when outdoors. Keeping your puppy constantly aware of your commands to sit, stay, and lay down while indoors is important as well. As the dog ages it will have developed routines that keep your dog in a submissive state, thereby reducing the chances of your dog developing a dominant attitude and becoming aggressive towards your family or your guests. One way to avoid having to train a dog more than you desire is to know what kind of personality traits you have and what kinds of attitude traits are common in various breeds of dogs, so that you can pick a dog that matches you better. Many people make the decision to get a dog without asking themselves simple questions, such as �Will the dog drive me crazy (did I pick the right match for my lifestyle)?� People should take into consideration that different dogs have different temperaments, just as humans do. Before you purchase a dog ensure you pick one that will have a temperament that will not drive you up the walls. �Do I have a home that will meet its needs?� This goes without saying. Obviously if you want to own a German Shepherd, living in an apartment will only make it bonkers, unless you�re there a great deal of the time and have the ability, and the desire, to take it outside often, so that it stays in shape, keeps its senses active, and is able to utilize its mind more, as these dogs crave learning! �Do I have the time to put into taking care of it?� Some dogs don�t mind being left alone as much as others, so before you pick a dog figure out how often you will be at work and how this may or may not affect your dog. You do not want to come home to find your house messed up or to find your puppy sick from depression, because he missed you Select this link to view our hunting Christmas ornaments.
