Poodles have been selectively bred for centuries, resulting in their distinct characteristics, including intelligence, hypoallergenic coats, and various sizes (Standard, Miniature, and Toy).
While Poodles themselves are not found in the wild, they share a common ancestor with wild canids, such as wolves and foxes. However, they have diverged significantly from these wild relatives due to domestication.
Poodles were originally bred for specific tasks, including hunting and retrieving, and they have since become popular as family pets and show dogs.
In summary, Poodles are entirely a domesticated breed with no wild counterparts.
