I decided on a poodle, so I will try to chronicle his training and evolution.

So far it has been lots of fun working with a non lab or shorthair (my two previous gun dogs).
Poodles are very smart, and it can be a challenge getting past his blockheadedness. His prey drive is amazing and he fetches whatever I want him to fetch. It has been a fun adventure. |

Looks like you have a good dog on your hands  .
I've only ever had Labs but my neighbor (when I was a kid) had a Standard Poodle that was his duck hunting dog, he was a great retriever. |

I never hunted birds with my two miniatures. They wear the best Squirrel dogs I ever had. I used to carry then in the game pocket of my hunting jacket when they wear little. They’d tree a Squirrel right now.
You got to remember Poodles wear water fowl hunting dogs from Germany a long time ago, the French are the ones that Pussyfied them. You got to keep that matte hair trimmed or it will drown them. Wolf |
