Poodles have the reputation of being French, but they were actually developed Germany as retrieving dogs. Part of the reason for the fancy trim used in dog shows was the compromise between saturating their heavy coat so they couldn’t swim and protecting the vital organs from the cold water. The pompons protect the ankles and kidneys and the “mane” protects the heart and lungs.

Here comes the dreaming of talking to dogs. I think I know what ours would speak if they could. Food, play, bored, walk. nap.
