Quote:
^^^ The [Standard] Poodle was a breed that originated in Germany and was originally used as a hunting dog. (A little side fact: the reason why the poodle is shaved so oddly is because when the dog would jump into the water, it's coat could become so water logged and heavy, it would drown itself so those puff-balls are only left to keep vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidney's warmer.)
I agree with everyone else:
1.) Chesapeake Bay Retriever:
or
American Water Spaniel:
or
Curly Coated Retriever:
2.) Whippet:
3.) Border Collie:
Question: Is this sort of a "guess the breeds" game or are you really unsure of what breeds those dogs may be?
