Now don't laugh wife making noises about getting a little poodle.
I may need to cut my losses.
Has anyone used one what are they like.
I used a weimaraner she was good.
Springer as deer dog too noisy when on the go scenting.
I know the bigger ones used on ducks etc.
Just wonder if they can indicate reasonably well,find and generally do the job

Family friend had a poodle as a 'farm' dog on a lifestyle block, could turn it's head to most tasks from bringing stock in to guarding the hen house from harriers so I can't see why hunting would be to much of an issue
standard sized poodle (the big ones) are great for retrieving waterfowl. the little ones are nothing but upholstered rats
be ok as long as youve got a t3 7 08
Wow you could even get your hands clean after the gutting of deer.......just wipe em clean on all that lovely white woollen hair:thumbsup:

A travesty to do that to an intelligent creature - especially to one which has been bred for the natural advantage of a woolen coat.

If you or your family suffers from hair allergy these guys are meant to be the business. I like that grey one above^^^
Also great for allowing the dog in the house - no shedding!Quote:

Compromise and get a Labradoodle
i have a an english bull terrier x dogo argentina. the most embarrassing thing is he absolutely adores bichons and poodles. its embarrassing as 35kg of teeth and muscle goes all "gooby" over a wooly rat
I went down the Springer path last time.
Was bird shooting at the time.
SWMBO was makeing noise about the roly poly toilet paper dogs.
Used cunning and strategy to have a look at some Springer pops.
The rest was history.
But I reckon you can train pretty much anything to indicate and find.
It's just do they air scent well,don't whine too much when excited that sort of thing.
I can't get too close to check out as I might snooker myself.

They don't have to have the stupid haircut, and are the second smartest dog after collies.
border collies not the lassie typeQuote:

they are super smart .... maybe too smart, might tell you to go find your own deer eh? Likely to have a strong drive for birds, so you'd have to train that out of them.
Have wool not hair so don't shed & great for people who have allergies. Their wool coat should keep them pretty warm in the bush.
English bull terriers are very un-English: they can be totally affectionate and unreserved without dropping their 100% scary and ugly look.Quote:

Yep, about 13 yrs old, we do not poodle cut her, this was done by a guy for a qualification exam. The cat dominates her, until she barks, that destroys the cat confidence. Extremely intelligentQuote:

Tighten the humour.
I have seen my brother using a foxie and a huntaway duck shooting.
The huntaway was a better swimmer but barked as they do when sent to pick up.
Mind you the ducks still came in they were used to farm dogs working all over the place.
Just wondering if the poodles hunt quietly.
The indicating I reckon you can pick up from any dog that something is there.
Are they used to flush birds or point and retrieve.
Have a photo of the weimaraner I had she lived to 18yrs.
Just to show some of what I say need not be taken with a grain of salt.

On the case of dog intelligence.....so Poodle, Boarder Collies every one pretty much says year super intelligent.
But are they?
If you look at a little old Jack Russel for example that you can’t train for shit (I know some here have trained them but bear with me):D
Now it might just be the other way around the Jack Russel is hard to train because he’s super intelligent and knows not to listen to stupid humans who want him to do stupid things by not getting trained he gets to do his own thing:wtfsmilie:;):XD:
Someone mentioned ugly ....Quote:

Pengy be careful what you say a sensitive dog may take offence if it thought you were talking about its owner

Are they the regular size or the little toy buggers?Quote:

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.
Standard poodles
I went to a gundog exercise years back and the standard poodle was still willing to dive back into the water and retrieve after the labs and retrievers had gotten too tired.
its a bloody shame they have now become foo foo dogs
Who's Foo foo? :) maybe I should ask what is Foo foo........then again maybe I shouldn't.....to late now:XD:
I always thought Standard-poodles (large) were originally bred for hunting..?? the "right one", like any breed, should be fine ?
