Poodle Club of Vic

The Poodle is one of the most popular breeds of dogs. Poodles are highly intelligent, adaptable and have a remarkable sense of humour. They come in three sizes, many colours, don't shed and are tolerated by many allergy sufferers. With so many wonderful qualities, it is easy to understand why the Poodle has so many admirers.

According to breed scholars, the Poodle's origins most likely took place in Germany where it was known as PUDELIN (meaning "to splash") because of its love of water. It was the French, however, who honored the dog -at home, in court circles and on the battlefield thus earning the dog the popular, but incorrect title, "French Poodle".
