How did poodles become associated with France when they're actually German?

I love the etymology of the phrase French Poodle. From "Poo" (meaning German) and "dles" (a Hungarian euphemism for dog). They were always real shit eaters, hence the German obsession with the dog. But then the Feench discovered you coild make them super gay looking parodies of dogs by flooding out their fur and shaving them like a topiary. So they stuck their country's name on the front.

I actually googled it and they (poodles not my mom) were associated with French nobility during the Renaissance. They were used by hunters to retrieve waterfowl. The more you know
