Poodle, Miniature Poodle and Toy Poodle (one registry
organisation also recognizes a Medium Poodle variety,
between Standard and Miniature), with many coat colors.
Originally bred in Germany as a type of water dog, the breed
was standardized in France. The poodle is skillful in many dog
sports, including agility, obedience, tracking, and even herding.
Poodles have taken top honors in many conformation shows,
including "Best in Show" at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog
Show in 1991 and 2002, and at the World Dog Show in 2007
and 2010. Toy Poodles won "Best in Show" at Crufts in 1966
and 1982. Standard Poodles achieved the award in 1955,
1985, 2002 and 2014. The 2002 winner came from Norway
and was the first overseas exhibit to win the Crufts best in
show award.
