The style in which show poodles' are trimmed stems from the practical concerns for a hunting dog, which is the original purpose of the breed, heavily stylized.

In its original form, the cut was intended to give the dog less mass of hair to keep it light and mobile in the water, with thicker patches of hair left over the joints and vital organs to keep the dog warm.

Of course, the original form of those clips were not nearly as dramatic as their present forms, and most hunting poodles today are cut with all of their fur around the same length.

What does a french poodle look like?

The Poodle is actually a German breed, not French. There is no such thing as a "French Poodle." There are three different types of poodle, the largest being the Standard, the middle-size the Miniature, and the smallest the Toy. They were originally bred to retrieve game from water. Their thick curly hair is to protect them from cold water. The strange haircut they get is to maximize protection (the parts where the hair is left on) and maximize mobility (the parts where the hair is shaved off).
