4. Would be even funnier if they were toy poodles.

But I bet those poor mutts have chilly legs.

5. There was a guy who used full sized poodles in the Ididerod every year

I think they are now against the rules

11. Here are the Iditarod rules

Rule 43 says "only dogs suitable for arctic travel will be permitted to enter the race," and leaves it up to the judges to decide if a dog is suitable.

6. Poodles are extremely athletic, actually.

They don't deserve their fru-fru reputation.

9. It's the haircuts.

7. At least the poodles have fur

those poor we German dogs. so close to the ground, with their little cold willies

[lunatica]

10. poodles don't have fur. they have hair

Isn't that weird!

They also love water and swim, are some of the best hunting dogs, and probably smarter than most of their owners (they're considered the most intelligent dogs). And they're quite hardy and healthy and live up to 15 years and more normally. their breeding hasn't caused any health issues.

I had a toy poodle and she ruled the roost, including all the other pets and us, the humans.
