The Poodle appeared so early in various parts of the world that there is some doubt to the land of origin. Poodle's supposed to have come from Germany,however for years it has been regarded as the national dog of France.

The Poodle originated as a water retriever. In fact, the unclipped Poodle of today show great resemblance to the old Rough haired Water Dog of England. There is little difference in the Irish Water Spaniel and the Poodle. The Irish Water Spaniel is born with short hair on its face and tail, unlike the Poodle.
