Why is it that poodles do that biting/nawing thing? The ones I've encountered love to just lightly naw on your hands and/or forearm... what's up with that?

The FCI ("International Kennel Association"), to which the majority of natonal kennel clubs belong, but not the AKC, recognizes FOUR sizes of Poodle, classed as Toy, Miniature, Medium, and Standard.

Although the Poodle is greatly associated with France, it was actually first developed in Germany. Even it's name is German: Pudel, also the origin of the English word "puddle", means "to splash about in water". That's an appropriate name for a dog originally designed to retrieve ducks for hunters, and the breed's French name, Caniche (derived from "canard"), actually refers to association with ducks.
