Poodles, why are you a dog?! Have you ever been curious about the purpose of a poodle? I mean, look at them, they look silly, right? Why did they ever cut their hair like that? Surprisingly, the history of the poodle is actually very versatile, and they have done just about everything. In this episode, Caitlyn explains to Kyle why poodles have funny haircuts, uncovers their entertainment past, and speaks some really terrible German along the way. We also talk about an incredibly cool poodle named Moustache, as well as some surprising information about their military history. Thank you to Kevin from The Miserable Hair People Show on Youtube who did our amazing original album artwork. Check out them out at Miserable Hair People Show. Outro song is Let Me Play With Your Poodle by Tampa Red (1938). Don't forget to rate and subscribe on iTunes or Google Play, and follow us on social media!

 The Sheltie, short for Shetland Sheep Dog, is a small style herding dog. They are also one of the smartest dog, excelling at just about any task. Well, any task you might give a dog for the most part. According to Stanley Coren, they are able to learn just about any task very quickly with little errors. This however should be taken with a grain of salt, as they are still dogs, and lack thumbs and the ability to speak. The most unique thing about the Sheltie is that they have several different types of coats. A lot of them are based on the merle style. This can actually even affect their eyes, and I recommend you look up a merle eye. These are also very small dogs, and are obviously used for. . . sheep. I guess it’s not that obvious, because no one really refers to them by the full name. In this episode, we discuss some interesting etymological phrases that deal with swears and dogs. So if that’s a problem for ya, well I hope you read these deals! It’s not too bad, we put a warning in the audio part, too. We also talk about how anyone using measurement systems aren’t specific enough outside of the U.S. The song for this week is “Sheltie” by Funky Boo Nutz
