What job is a poodle to do?

A poodle is traditionally known for its hunting and retrieving abilities. They were originally bred as water retrievers in Germany and France, where they were used to retrieve waterfowl from lakes and rivers. Poodles are highly intelligent and trainable dogs, which made them well-suited for this type of work. They have a dense, water-resistant coat that helps them stay warm and dry in cold and wet conditions, and their webbed feet help them swim efficiently.
