Seems grandma is not the only one who loved her poodle. They've been around since the 15th/ 16th century and have been pampered, loved and (let's face it) even scoffed at since. Whether you love them or hate them, the non-shedding and smart little dogs have enough fans to keep them around for some time to come.
