This Happy Howlidays Poodle Ornament
Is 4 1/2 inches tall, 3 1/2 inches wide, and is attached to a 3 inch red-colored ribbon (approximately 7 1/2 - 8 inches from bottom to tip of ribbon when hanging). The Poodle is in the center of a decorative Christmas wreath with a sign at the top of it that reads, "Happy Howlidays," and has a white bone dangling from the bottom. The Green wreath is adorned with red berries and bright green glitter.
History of the 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.
The Dogs Senses
As far as the sense of smell and hearing go, dogs have abilities far beyond that of man. Some can smell the faintest of an odor from a person on an object and others can catch scents that are days old. It is for these reasons that dogs are naturally capable of helping hunters and law enforcement officials. Both senses can help hunters locate both animals and kills in much less time than a human could expect to alone. Likewise these senses come in handy for law enforcement officials who are tracking predators or attempting to locate objects or people. Their vision, however, is not as good as that of humans as they have a hard time distinguishing colors. Due to a variance in the lens in their eye, though, they can see a little bit better in low light situations.
