The Poodle is a direct descendant of the barbet, a breed of African origin that came to the Iberian Peninsula to interbreed with Portuguese water dogs. Thanks to their sociable, extremely faithful and positive character, poodles ceased to be hunting dogs to become domestic animals and, already in 15th century France, they would be considered the national dog breed of France.
Unlike other canine breeds, the Toy Poodle requires little repetition to understand an order, exercise or situation and is capable of practically perfect performance. We are also talking about a particularly sociable breed, so it does not cope well with the absence of its guardians. It adapts great to any type of space, larger, smaller ...
