Poodle
Fancy groomed breed
A poodle is a breed of dog known for its curly, dense coat and high intelligence.
Poodles come in three sizes—standard, miniature, and toy—and are often groomed into elaborate styles for show.
The breed's reputation as a fussy or pampered pet makes poodle a mild insult for someone seen as overly refined or as a servile follower: He's the CEO's poodle.
