Poodles are one of the most recognizable dogs in all of dogdom and have been depicted as subjects in portraiture, photography, and prints for centuries. They have been show competitors at kennel clubs since the invention of such institutions in the second half of the 19th century. At Crufts, the Standard Poodle ties the Irish Setter and the Welsh Terrier for second most wins at Best In Show, with 4 wins. At the Westminster Dog Show in the USA, the breed has won a total of 10 times, with half being Standard Poodles and the most recent win in 2020.
