In France, the standard Poodle was mostly used for duck hunting, the miniature for sniffing out truffles, and the toy became the wealthy individual’s companion dog. Poodles gained popularity in circus performances because they were quick to pick up new skills and because gypsies would frequently coiffeur their coats into incredible forms or even dye their hair a bright new color, which gave rise to the Poodle cut.

Fortunately, the sport was eventually abolished. Although the modern English bulldog is far different from its forefathers in disposition, they nevertheless possess a strong will.
