re: Update on poodle training

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.
