History of the Poodle / Caniche

It is considered to be the “National Dog of France” but theories of its true origin are different, however, this dog has been known in South and Central Europe since the 16th century. This elegant lounge dog, originally a hound, specialized in hunting aquatic animals as well as finding the expensive truffle. The haircut in Caniche is not a fashion of our time, but rather the hunter’s idea in order to keep the dog light of the weight of the water, to be agile and not too cold, leaving hair on the points that needed protection while the tuft on its edge tail was to see when he swam. Soon, in France, it became fashionable to style these dogs and from a hunting dog, it became a pet dog and a favorite breed of the aristocracy, especially in Paris of the 19th century.
