Thread: Poodles as a deer dog

Took my miniature poodle pig hunting but he got absolutely worn out half way through the morning so we had to carry him the rest of the way there and most of the way back. Very smart dog. His real talent was as a watch dog (same for the toy) - he caught two lots of burglars. I'd go for a full-size standard poodle for hunting. The difficulty is getting a dog without genetic faults from the very small gene pool in New Zealand.
