Poodle

Standard poodle in a classic continental show cut with pom-poms on legs and tail. Despite their fancy appearance, poodles were originally German water retrievers — the name comes from the German word pudeln, meaning to splash. The elaborate show clip started as a practical trim: shaved areas reduced drag in water while pom-poms kept joints warm. Poodles are consistently ranked among the most intelligent dog breeds.
