The poodle is a curly-coated, extremely clever breed. Originally created for the purpose of retrieving water in Germany. Their curly coat sheds relatively little, so when it's untidy, it gets long and shaggy. Poodles are regal but affectionate and very devoted pets in terms of personality. The color of a poodle coat can vary in virtually infinite ways. Most toy poodles weigh 4 kg and measure 25 cm. Poodle miniatures are larger than regular poodles, reaching heights of up to 38 cm and weights of up to 8 kg.
