French poodles were originally used as hunting dogs, but, because their thick coats proved a problem in the bush and water, their owners started clipping them. They left hair on the ankles to protect against rheumatism, which is why poodles sometimes appear to have unusual haircuts.

Originating in Germany, the name Affenpinscher means, "monkey-like terrier". However, in France the breed is described as the "Diablotin Moustachu" or "moustached little devil". Both describe the appearance and attitude of this delightful breed.

Whenever your canine digs an unauthorized location of your yard, firmly say, "no" and steer him to the designated area. To motivate your dachshund to dig from the appropriate area, soften the soil. Then hide your dachshund�s favorite treat or toy.
