Did you know that poodles are cats? Poodles, whose real name is Selkirk Rex, have been around since 1987. They look more like stuffed animals than real animals because they are so fluffy. No matter if you like cats or dogs, you can’t help but be cute around them.
It turns out that the poodle cat’s unique fur is caused by a genetic flaw. Because their curly hair is a dominating trait, it is easy for breeders to keep the curls when they crossbreed to keep the genetic diversity high.
An interesting thing about this breed is that not only does their fur have curls, but so do their beards. Adorable!
Even though they don’t look like most dogs, they are loving, gentle, tolerant, chill, playful, and great for families.
Because they are so one-of-a-kind, they are also very pricey—between $500 and $800. Another thing about this breed is that their fur is a bit hard to keep up. It’s likely that they will need more brushing and washing to keep their hair clean and free of mats and grease.
I love them still! What do you think about this strange dog breed? Would you like one?
