I dont know a single person that would own a dog from un-worked parents, and non working lines, and spend a rediculous ammount on a cross breed.
In theory, if bred from good working parents and cost the same as any other working cross-breed, then they may be a decent enough retriever. But there isnt a great following of working poodles, so this is not likely to occur very often.
But mate, as you have the dog allready, hats off to you if you do work it, as it will have a better life than any pampered pet.
First off, no I havent got a poodle thingy. I am a 100% springer man ! S
