Poodle

The Poodle, though often equated to the beauty with no brains, is exceptionally smart, active and excels in obedience training. The breed comes in three size varieties, which may contribute to why Poodle is one of the most popular breeds. Poodles can be a variety of solid colors, including white, black, apricot and gray, but never parti-colored. Poodles are retrievers or gun dogs, and can still be seen in that role. Even Toys will point birds. Today most have assumed the role of Companion pets and make great family dogs.
