Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which countries were poodles originally bred?

Answer: France and Germany

Nowadays, the poodle is most commonly associated with France. However, there is evidence that poodles were used as water retrievers in Germany during its time of origin.
2. According to the AKC, poodles can come in three size varieties.

Answer: True

A fourth size, "teacup", isn't a universal standard. Breeders use it to refer to a very small toy poodle.
3. The poodle is a hypo-allergenic (non-shedding) dog.

Answer: True

Dander is the allergen that comes off of dogs. A poodle's tight, curled hair retains almost all the dander, making poodles a great choice for someone who is allergic to dogs.
4. What is the AKC-required clip for a poodle under 12 months of age?

Answer: Puppy clip

The AKC requires the Puppy clip for a poodle under 12 months of age. Older poodles are required to have either the Continental clip or the English Saddle clip. The Lamb clip, although similar to the Puppy clip, is not an AKC standard for the poodle.
5. According to the AKC, the smallest poodle size is miniature.

Answer: False

The smallest poodle size is toy. Miniature is the medium size, and standard is the largest size.
6. Which of the following is a natural hair color for poodles?

Answer: All of these

Poodles come in a wide variety of colors, including black, white, brown, silver, cream, apricot, red, and even blue.
7. Poodle hybrids (crossbreeds), like poodles, won't shed.

Answer: False

Although some dogs might inherit this trait, many will not. The qualities of poodle hybrids aren't as predictable as those of purebred poodles.
8. From which language did the name "poodle" originate?

Answer: German

The name "poodle" comes from the German word pudelhund, meaning "splashing dog."
9. Poodles tend to be easy to train.

Answer: True

Poodles are known as being alert, intelligent, and easy to train. They get along well with people and would make a great family dog.
10. Poodles are prone to ear infections.

Answer: True

Poodles can easily get ear infections, due to hair growth in the ear canal. It is good practice for poodle owners to check their dog's ears regularly.
