Probably the type of people that typically get them aren't real good with dogs either. They've become a designer dog here.
yeah, true...I remember reading about that before. Here's some more info. about the Poodle's history as a water dog: Poodle Page
We see a lot of "Doodles' around here. They were originally a cross-breed from Australia meant to be working field dogs, not meant as the "family pets" typically seen today. Initially serious breeders urged people not to get them unless they were going to be working in the field. But they became popular as another "hypo-allergenic" possibility <not really an accurate concept> and people already enamored of Labs saw that in them and wanted one.
They are mixed breeds <nothing wrong with that> but- that people are paying a lot of money for, for dubious reasons. They come in all different sizes and shapes and coat types like any other mixed breed.
I almost got at Labradoodle![]()
Nice! My pup isnt ready for ducks this year but i was thinking of letting her flush some grouse and woodcock. Should be fun!

Marty will point once in awhile and it's so cute ! He is a mini poodle mix and he has long legs and he lift one leg and point but I have no idea what he is pointing at as there is no animal , so I wonder if he hear an animal and is trying to tell me.
There a hunting club in my city and I heard a person , I think it was a woman
that is trying to bring poodles back to hunting. Marty would love that but I do not hunt.
Could just be the scent he's pointing
Yea I see a few in gun dog mag now and again. People are bring it back
because it smelled so horrible! I my car smelled awful as I put the bag in my car to bring it back.

an example of hunting with Poodles: Dreamscapes Standard Poodles - Grouse Hunting in Montana with* Brown/Black Standard Poodles*
Sometimes my Lab used to point when he was on scent.
I read that too somewhere, whatdidyousay!, about the tails.
I try to avoid GMO food as much as possible. My diet is not mainstream/"SAD"<standard American diet> and I eat almost no meat.
My dogs, however, being carnivores, I feed them like this: Duck Recipe Photos
<examples in the photos, photos from Raw Fed Dogs.net>
I also came across this general +RE <positive reinforcement> training site with some videos on it Dog Body Language Posts and Videos | eileenanddogs I liked of canine body language, which is one of my favorite topics. I have Brenda Aloff's Big Yellow Book "Canine Body Language, a Photographic Guide", which is one of my favorites.
I didn't see all the videos in the link above but the ones I did see, seemed to have good visuals and written text. Since I focused on watching the dogs I didn't look for captions.

Our last rescue is a Poodle/Maltese. She is a definite bird dog and has been bringing live birds to my husband all summer.
He tries to get them from her without hurting the bird and the releasing it on the other side of the fence.
So she is a small but mighty hunter.
certified organic <by 3rd party certifier like Oregon Tilth and others> by definition cannot be GMO. Some companies are also using the symbol on this website:Non-GMO Project to note that the item is not genetically modified or engineered.
I love apples but they are one of the most heavily sprayed fruits.
I usually avoid heavily polished/"perfect" -looking commercial apples. There's a reason why they look that way.
I bet your little Poodle/Malt. is quite proud of herself, Botti![]()
