willis smith Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Are standard poodles good retrieving dogs because i would like to get a dog that is easy around the house and doesnt shed. I have heard from a lot of people they are great but have that they may not do well in frigid water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackedUpZ71 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Maybe so, but it wouldn't be worth all the crap you're going to take from your buddies about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Poodles make excellent retrievers. Any dog that will go into the water to retrieve a down duck, is a dog worth taking in my own opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Archer 01 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ya, I have never heard of poodles being duck dogs. But apparently they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowetdogz Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I have read a few articles in past that poodles are excellent retrievers. Not sure about the water temperature issues though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
