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).
