PODDLE Meaning and
Definition
-
Poddle is a noun that refers to a small breed of dog originating from Ireland, known for its distinctive curly coat and often recognized for its playful and friendly demeanor. It belongs to the category of toy or companion dogs, typically weighing around 4.5 to 6 kg (10 to 14 lbs) and standing approximately 25 to 28 cm (10 to 11 inches) tall at the shoulder.
The poddle, also commonly spelled poodle, is famed for its hypoallergenic coat, which doesn't shed as much as other breeds. This characteristic has made it a popular choice for individuals with allergies or those seeking a low-maintenance pet. Additionally, the poddle comes in various colors, including black, white, brown, gray, and apricot, with different-sized subclasses like the standard, miniature, and toy poodle.
Due to their intelligence and trainability, poddles are often seen participating in canine competitions such as obedience trials and agility courses. They are known to possess a high level of energy and require regular exercise and mental stimulation. Poddles are also recognized for their loyalty and strong bond with their owners, making them excellent family pets.
The term "poddle" can also refer to the act of walking in water with exaggerated steps, typically when the water level reaches the ankles or knees. This usage is less common but refers to the physical action of walking with splashing movements, resembling how a poddle might walk through water.
Etymology of PODDLE
The word "poddle" is derived from the Irish river name "Poddle" that flows through Dublin. The name of the river is believed to be derived from the Old Norse word "pollr", meaning "pool" or "pond". Over time, the term was used to refer to the river and eventually extended to describe a small stream or brook. In some dialects, "poddle" also came to be used as a verb meaning to paddle or splash around in shallow water.
