Can you account for black poodles NOT being shiny? :-)

A poodle's hair is more akin to wool and is more waterproof.
This made them especially suited to splashing through
mud and puddles when driving cattle - the purpose for which
they were originally bred.

Are you sure? I thought poodles were bred for game retrieving .


You're right.

"Moi ? Drive cattle? "

I don't know where I got that idea from, maybe confused
them with another breed.
