The word poodle for the breed of dog originated from which language?
"in turn comes from Low German ""pud(d)eln"" meaning ""[to] splash in water,"" cognate with the English word ""puddle"". The poodle has contributed to many other dog breeds, such as the Miniature Schnauzer, Standard Schnauzer, and dogs of the Bichon type in order to either save those breeds from extinction, reduce size, or by dog fanciers to improve their appearance. The poodle has been bred in at least three sizes, including Standard, Miniature, and Toy. According to the American Kennel Club, which recognized the breed in 1887, the Standard Poodle is the oldest of the three varieties, and was later bred"
"Old English ""bicce"" ('bitch, female dog'), related to Old Norse ""bikkja"" ('female dog') and German ""Betze"" ('female dog'). Some speculate that result of the apheresis, or loss of syllable, of the word ""barbichon"" (""small poodle""), a derivative of ""barbiche"" (""shaggy dog""); however, this theory seems chronologically unlikely (if not impossible) despite the apparent similarity of the two words. The French word ""bichon"" is attested from 1588, but ""barbichon"" does not appear until 1694. Bichons descended from the ancient ancestors of the poodle and the barbet. From this, the ""barbichon"", a small curly-coated Maltese; and the Bichon Bolognese, or simply Bolognese."
"to be the result of the apheresis, or shortening, of the word ('small poodle'), a derivative of ('shaggy dog'); however, this is unlikely to impossible, since the word (attested 1588) is older than (attested 1694). While the English name for the breed, ""Bichon Frise"", is derived from the French meaning 'curly lap dog', the usual English spelling does not include the diacritic. The Bichon Frise is often depicted as a French dog. Although the bichon breed type are originally Spanish, used as sailing dogs, the French developed them into a gentle lap-dog variety. The bichon type arose from the water"
"Poodle Poodles are a group of formal dog breeds, the Standard Poodle, Miniature Poodle and Toy Poodle. The origin of the breed is still discussed, with a prominent dispute over whether the poodle descends from Germany as a type of water dog, or from the French Barbet. Ranked second most intelligent dog breed just behind the Border Collie, the poodle is skillful in many dog sports and activities, including agility, obedience, tracking to herding, circus performers or assistance dogs. Poodles have taken top honors in many conformation shows, including ""Best in Show"" at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in"
"Dogs homozygous for the merle gene, sometimes referred to as ""double merles"", are likely to have ocular and/or auditory defects. The Border Collie is descended from landrace collies, a type found widely in the British Isles. The name for the breed came from its probable place of origin along the Anglo-Scottish border. Mention of the ""Collie"" or ""Colley"" type first appeared toward the end of the 19th century, although the word ""collie"" is older than this and has its origin in the Scots language. It is also thought that the word 'collie' comes from the old Celtic word for useful."
"in Spain, as shown by the paintings of the Spanish artist Francisco Goya. France had toy poodles as pampered favorites during the reign of Louis XVI at about the same period. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale, the international organization of which both France and Germany's main kennel clubs are members, claims the breed descends from the French Barbet. When the breed was officially recognized by the FCI, in order to avoid any possible dispute between two founding members, Germany recognized the Poodle as a dog originating from France. The progenitor of the breed might have also been crossed with the Hungarian"
"hearts, eyes and ears. The word ""spanyell"" is thought to date from the late 12th century when it was used to name a type of dog imported into England from Spain, with the ""span"" part of the word referring to the country of origin. Records from the mid-14th century show that selective breeding was already in place, with the breed being separated into two distinct types, called water spaniels and land spaniels. By 1801, the smaller variety of land spaniel was called the Cocker or Cocking Spaniel, so named for its use in flushing woodcock. According to historical records, the"

These breeds were bred with the indigenous African dogs, including the dog of the Khoikhoi people, which resulted in the Boer hunting dogs, generically called names such as ""boerhund"" (Boer hound) in Dutch then its descendant language of Afrikaans, which are the chief forerunners to the modern Rhodesian Ridgeback."" Other breeds came from Arabian traders around the Horn of Africa and with Asian immigrants, particularly into the Cape Colony, and jackal coursing introduced from British India brought lurchers from England and Ireland and the borzoi or Russian wolfhound,"
"poodles have been invented, combining syllables or sounds from each breed name to create a portmanteau word. Usually the first syllable of ""poodle"" is appended to the breed name of the second breed in the cross. Other names are created by adding the sound ""-oodle"" (from ""poodle"") or ""-doodle"" (by analogy with ""Labradoodle"") to the other breed name. Many crosses can be described by more than one portmanteau word; since they are not breeds, any portmanteau word the owner or breeder wishes may be used. Some of the portmanteau word names that describe poodle crosses have moved into popular usage;"
"Goldendoodle The Goldendoodle (Groodle in Australian English) is a cross-breed dog, which is obtained by breeding a Golden Retriever with a Poodle. The name, which alters ""poodle"" to ""doodle"" by analogy to ""Labradoodle"", was coined in 1992. The Goldendoodle was first bred by Monica Dickens in 1969. Popularity for the goldendoodle grew in the 1990s when breeders in North America and Australia began crossing Golden Retrievers with Standard Poodles. The original purpose of the cross was to develop guide dogs suitable for visually impaired individuals with allergies. Poodles are considered to be hypoallergenic. Their coats do not shed, which reduces"

The Grand Barbet depicted in Count George Louis Buffon's book ""Histoire Naturelle"" (1750) is thought to be the original source of the various water dog breeds (poodles, Portuguese Water Dog, American Water Spaniel, and so on). Its actual origin is lost in antiquity but may stem from corded-coat herding dog stock, also ancestral to breeds like the Komondor.

The Pomeranian is considered to be descended from the German Spitz. The breed is thought to have acquired its name by association with the area known as Pomerania which is located in northern Poland and Germany along the Baltic Sea. Although not the origin of the breed, this area is credited with the breeding which led to the original Pomeranian type of dog."
"for everyone. Because of their intelligence and working drive, they require regular intensive exercise as well as mental challenges. They are gentle and patient — but not ""couch potatoes"", and boredom can cause them to become destructive. One theory proposes that some of the dogs left the Asian steppes with the Goths, a confederation of German tribes. Some, (the Ostrogoths), went west and their dogs became the German poodle, called in German the poodle-hund or puddle-dog—that is, water-dog. Others, the Visigoths, went south to fight the Romans, and their dogs became the Lion Dog, groomed in the traditional lion cut."

The modern Standard retains many of the traits prized by their original owners: a keen working intelligence that makes the dog easy to command, webbed feet that make it an"

The original sire was Tell, an English Pointer belonging to Kaiser Frederick III and the original dam was a German hunting pudel named Molly who was owned by Hegewald, an author known for works on hunting dogs. The goal was to produce a dog that was willing and easy to train, intelligent, and loved water and retrieving, like the poodle, and add to that a great desire to hunt, a strong pointing instinct, and an excellent nose, like in the English Pointer, as well as being an excellent companion in the home.
