Poodle on a Canal Towpath

Poodles started out as water dogs in Germany, retrieving ducks for hunters. Their name comes from an old German word for splashing in water. An apricot one stands on a cobbled canal towpath, the path horses once used to pull boats. The show clip with its pompoms began as a practical cut that kept a swimming dog's joints and chest warm, though the one in this poodle jigsaw puzzle wears its curls natural.
