Pom Pom Poodle!

- A very delicate and stunning Poodle cut.

 

The Poodle's distingushing 'haircut' is well known throughout the world but did you know the reason for this cut?

Yes, it is a faboulous hair do but the true reason behind the haircut was to improve their swimming abilities. The Poodle was orginally bred and used as hunting dogs, their main purpose was hunting water fowl and for this reason their coat was cut leaving 'pom pom' like features over their joints. This way, their thick coat would protect their joints from the cold.
Their name, 'Poodle' also reflects their orginal purpose as in German it means 'one who plays in water'.

Though today some create a little bit of art...
