Poodle History
Jun 20 2006, 6:26 AM EDT 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. 4 out of 5 found this valuable.
