What exactly is a Cyprus poodle and is it native to Cyprus or some kind of pavement special cross breed?
What makes it unique to CY as opposed to an ordinary poodle?

It is (like all dogs) descended from the Wolf, and is almost certainly a prehistoric cross between Anatolian Shephard and the Caanan dog. Influence of the Molossus is more recent and vastly overstated. Like all dogs it has had certain characteristics breed into and out of it: one bred in is that it is completely paranoid, and having sh!t in its own food bowl tries to blame the American Foxhound or British Bulldog!

mmm... the Brits seem to love it.
Cypriots poison the damn things..

Petting is a mistake and should be stopped.

Does that include "heavy petting", which can be one whole lot of fun...............?

I'm sorry ugly mutts these dogs are extremely cute, adorable and fluffy. A Cypriot poodle is a small dog it is a cross between a terrier and a poodle they are kind, good friends, good with kids, cute,soft and just amazing dogs. They are great house dogs as they do not have fur, they have wool so they make no mess. These dogs are preferably white and long haired. I highly recommend you to get one of these awesome dogs.

Never heard of these dogs... which from wiki "were bred for waterfowling",...

...so where on CY do they do water-fowling????

Suspect they are a lannate resistant breed.

No these dog were ORIGINALLY bred for hunting because they are one of the smartest dogs. But now they made them smaller so they can be better house pets
