2. Poodle

The poodle may have an aristocratic look, but don’t let that fool you – as the saying goes… looks can be deceiving. This breed is brilliant, has excellent social skills, and has a lot of energy. When thinking about poodles, the first thing that comes to mind is a sophisticated dress-up dog in a show ring. It seems hard to believe that this dog was originally a water retriever, a job that required jumping in the water to fetch prey for hunters.

The poodle comes in three sizes: standard, miniature, and toy. They all have distinctive thick fur that is famous for its elegance. The breed is very versatile and has high social and cognitive intelligence levels.
