I have an Australian Labradoodle, which is 11th generation. Much more consistent temperment/coat/health, but you'll pay for it.
She's smart and extremely trainable. The only issue I would see with hunting would be coat maintenance. Would have to cut really short.

The other is F1b, dad poodle mom golden doodle. Smart as a whip, easily trained, fetches until you have to make him stop. Also perfect with the kids.
i have a female similar to yours. she loves to play fetch and is very smart. I have never taken her hunting but in my opinion she would do well.

I have a standard poodle and love his personality. I learned very quickly that you can not handle them like a lab. He is very sensitive to force.
I have not trained him for hunting but it was incredibly easy to train the basic commands such as sit,here, stay etc. He loves the smell of the birds I bring home and loves retrieving them in the yard so I bet he could have been a decent duck dog.

Look at a Pudelpointer. Great for both ducks and upland birds. Absolute machines in hunting situations

Can't believe nobody has mentioned drahthaars. Best all around hunting dog period.

I considered Pudelpointer vs deutch draathar
I went with PP because the DD has a strong fur drive
Trouble with that is... they may kill your neighbors pet. Or when your bird hunting they may head out on a rabbit or deer
If I lived out in the woods I’d consider it
These aren’t made up stories, I’m in NAVHDA and a few DD owners I talked to would rather the PP now.
I’ve never heard of a PP owner wishing they had a DD

Everything doodle that I’ve met has been friggin crazy AF.
I hunt a golden retriever that has done really well for me in the marshes and fields of Louisiana and is outstanding at home with little kids. I just hose him off after our hunts and he dries beautifully, the fur getting funky hasn’t been an issue.
SOB will leave some fur in your house though for sure

Another pudelpointer owner here. Huge fan, great dog. I’m mostly into upland hunting, just got back from a week in NoDak, and I honestly can’t see myself ever getting a different breed after this.

My cousin is a duck hunter out of Back Bay NC.
Says that he knows a guy that trains female lab/poodle mix and they will go retrieve a brick out of 4 feet of water if you train them right.

I have a good friend with a first generation labradoodle. He trained him pretty well and he does a good job but unfortunately due to the type of fur and all he has to leave him at home when it gets cold. They are great dogs very similar to labs with manners and train ability but they are not built for the rigors and temperatures that duck hunting requires like a lab does.

Drahthaars are just great all around hunting dogs. A few weeks ago mine picked up some ducks, got home and pointed some quail. That evening got a call from my brother in law that he shot a deer and need a dog. Drove over and she went right to the deer. That was all in one day. What sets apart drahthaar from labs to me is their ability to recover crippled game. They won't hold as straight a line on a blind as a lab but once he gets on the scent he's coming back with it if possible.

One is F2 both parents are golden doodles. He's a window licking tard but is sweet as can be and great with the kids. Absolutely will not fetch.
Update on the tard. As a last resort I now have to buy a damn invisible fence to keep his dumb arse inside the actual fence. He digs and digs and tears through the fence all so he can go play with the neighbors dogs.

IF you bred a smart poodle to a Quality GR I have no doubt there would be players in the litter. The IF is going to be impossible since GR people with players would never do that breeding. GR folks are extremely tight knit and the interview process to buy a $2,500 puppy is difficult. $2,500 GR pups are the low end. My house may end up with a doodle, TWT has a new doodle at his house.
As an owner of a Topbrass golden, this is accurate. When I bought my puppy 8 years ago, I paid like $1700 and I basically had to prove that I was worthy of working with the dog. Things may have changed, but at the time, the breeder would not sell a dog to a non-working home. It's now difficult to find a Topbrass pup for less than $2500. I will do it again when the time comes, because she's been the best dog I've ever had. She is also the first golden I've trained after having trained numerous labs. I've read a lot of people talk about poodles being finicky, but goldens can also be difficult to train for people accustomed to training labs. Their temperament is similar, but very different in certain ways. Mine responds to pressure differently than any lab I've ever worked with. This is not a good or bad thing - just different. Considering that, though, I'd be skeptical of working with a doodle dog just because of the unpredictability in that regard.

Poodles are retrievers and tracking dogs. I have trained or partly trained literally 100 plus labs.The smartest lab has not been as smart as the dumbest poodle. That being said the poodle is a finicky dog that does not like pressure applied wrong. If you mess up training a lab you can fix it the next day not a poodle. I find it really neat that they have all these different doodles. The 1 thing in common with these is the poodle part. Just get a poodle and train it. My dad gave me the best training advice and it still holds true today. To train a dog you have to be smarter than the dog. Poodles are smart son of a guns.
yep, have owned 3 poodles and will never own another breed. they're super athletic, smart af (we sent them all to one of the best bird dog trainers in LA before she retired), excellent with kids, no shedding. they're like little humans. GOAT
