According to the official American Kennel Club book and site, Poodles are often associated with France because they love the breed, but the breed originated in Germany as duck hunters. The German word "pudelin" refers to splashing in water. That is where the name Poodle comes from. 
Guess it's gonna come down to whether you believe the American Kennel Club or the French one on this point, I think. If you check their website here, it says: "Country of origin: France", saying it's descended from the barbet breed.

So...I think it's not weird people won't believe you when you claim they're from Germany.


suspect that the answer is a little bit of both. a lot of european dogs are not exclusively one originating country or the other - making that kind of differentiation becomes exercise in technicalities. also, common naming of dog breeds is not always a particularly great indicator of origination. example, great danes are hilariously named given that their primary breeding originated from english and german boar dogs - but were named as such for essentially marketing appeal reasons

They're called "caniche" in French too, so I don't feel like we can rely on what we call them in English to determine whether the dog originated from France or Germany.
