Contrary to popular belief, the Poodle did not originate in France. It was originally a German breed used for hunting, water retrieving and even herding. You can see the breed’s similarity to other curly-coated herding breeds such as the Puli. Poodle coats will curl and even cord if allowed to grow out.

Longevity in domestic dogs depends on the care they receive, their breed, and body size.
In general, larger breeds have shorter lifespans.
Many giant dog breeds average only 7 or 8 years, while some small terrier breeds might live as long as 20 years.
The average lifespan for mixed-breed and midsize dogs is about 13 to 14 years. The longest-lived dog with reliable documentation died at 29 in 1939.
