The Poodle is one of the oldest dog breeds and was originally developed in Germany to hunt waterfowl. The Poodle may have originated in Germany, but they are much-loved by the French. So much so that the Poodle is the national dog of France.
The Miniature Poodle is slightly more recent. Breeders weren’t intentionally producing these smaller versions of the Standard Poodle until the 1400s. This Mini version likely originated in France. The AKC recognized the Standard and Miniature Poodle in 1887 as part of the Non-Sporting Group.
The Mini Poodle has all of the same characteristics as a Standard Poodle; they just come in a smaller package. With all of the personality and affection that Poodles are known for, it’s no wonder that Miniature Poodles are one of the most popular dog breeds.
