Poodles are likely the first breed that springs to mind when discussing canines with curly coats because of their distinctive appearance.
The traditional poodle cut is more about fashion than it is about function in today's society.
The Portuguese water dog, sometimes known as the PWD, is another type of active and athletic dog with curly hair.
These dogs were originally trained to aid fisherman in retrieving lost tackle or even to rescue sailors who were drowning.
The name "curly-haired dog" is how "bichon frise" translates from its original French.
These dogs' hair is soft underneath, but their guard hairs are harsh, which can cause it to mat.
The Bedlington terrier looks like a lamb and has a texture that is quite similar to that of a lamb due to the combination of fine and rough hair that it has.
The dog's head is typically the region of its body that has the most curls.
The most distinguishing characteristic of the Kerry blue terrier is its coat, which is wavy and blue-gray in color.
In contrast to several other breeds of curly-haired canines, the Kerry blue should always present in a neat and orderly manner.
The Irish water spaniel (IWS), like many other breeds of dogs with curly hair, is bred to perform water-related chores traditionally.
There are those who say that the breed originated from the crossbreeding of a poodle, a barbet, and a Portuguese water dog.
