re: Update on poodle training

Does the poodle enjoy retrieving? Plenty of dogs don't, you can teach them to do something but they don't live for it. My golden retriever will wear me out on fetching, she'll go longer than my arm will be able to throw.
I don't know, I know poodles are smart but dogs are bred for their natural abilities just seems like fighting a losing battle to me OP. I wish you the best of luck though.

Poodles were the original retrievers but have been relegated to the show ring primarily. IF you can find one without the hunt bred out, It could be the start of a niche worth $$$$$.
Ppro has had his hands more dogs than this site combined so, he knows his way around training. He is also MENSA smart with a calm training philosophy, much calmer than mine.

one of ours does, her life revolves around it.
all she wants to do is run and fetch shite for us. sits on the couch with her ball in her mouth for hours, sleeps with it, constantly brings it to us, etc

I made the mistake of talking down on a friend that trained a Labradoodle once and I had to eat most of my foot and I thought maybe some of his so I know them frickers are smart and will retrieve. The shite hits the fan when you are about 30 ducks into a hunt and the geese are working too and it is about 20 degrees and sleeting rain. I know Labs are going to plow through that hunt if they are legit. Will a Poodle?

We have a few that retrieve when they want to retrieve but have a few that are maniacs for retrieving as much as any of my labs. We will check his water ability soon. I didn’t want to mess with this dog being he was a pretty big deal for my wife in the show ring and hair is a premium. He is 2 & 1/2 years old and freaky athletic. He is lined up to breed somewhere between 8-15 times this year just off of his short show career. My wife really wants a hunt test title and maybe some obedience titles. She stopped him from showing anymore because she has another male that doesn’t retrieve like him but may be an even better show prospect.
