Which breed of dog is this?
Formal dog breeds include the Standard Poodle, Miniature Poodle and Toy Poodle. The origin of the breed is still discussed, with a prominent dispute over whether the poodle descends from Germany as a type of water dog, or from the French Barbet.
Ranked second most intelligent dog breed just behind the Border Collie, the poodle is skillful in many dog sports and activities, including agility, obedience, tracking to herding, circus performers and assistance dogs.
Poodles have taken top honors in many conformation shows, including "Best in Show" at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 1991 and 2002, and at the World Dog Show in 2007 and 2010.

I'm okay with the dog questions, but I HATE seeing the poor mutt clipped like that!

Have you seen the haircuts people get nowadays?

That cut is for buoyancy not for aesthetics, originally poodles were used as hunting dogs, retrieving shot birds from water.

Becki La Voy Jordan, It's obvious that it's a poodle. Shouldn't matter that you couldn't see the size. No other option really fit.
