If the poodle is a working dog then I see no problem with the cross.

Poodles are probably the fastest and most agile of the retreiving breeds.

I dont see the big fuss, If you dont want one, then dont buy one, simple.

id rather be seen walking down the street arm in arm with fizz of corrie than a poodle cross

you talking through your arse ,will it have a tossle on its tail you could dye it pink so you know when its on scent talley oh!

If you are going to experiment then, instead of Poodle, I think the lad should have tried other similar European "poodle-like" working breeds, for example the

 

curly retriever

 

 

Irish water Spaniel

 

Pudelpointer

 

Barbet

 

Pont-Audemer

 

Wetterhoun

 

 

Perhaps there would be more hunting instinct and prey-drive...

Perhaps so mate, but then you might stop to ask yourself why none of the above are as common or as popular as the standard poodle.

good news guys, i bought one last week! and a fine pup he is. already got him sitting to hand signals and he's only 9 weeks, which is something some lurchers never learn in a life time. what i'm after is a good allround and especially one that can retrieve from water. as for hunting instinct its still in modern poodles.

its in working collies to and if i wanted a coat on a dog i would have an old working beardie tell me how soft mouthed poodles are saw on poodle that could rock if giving the chance but saw a few all pets that were never tried it would take me 3 years to test agood poodle , and well if it never came up to the standard of the lurchers i have well good nite , i think you could get a good home for them i would have sold only maybe half the liter and gave the rest to expierened men to test then you can get the real write up about them ,then further the breeding

[chris strilciw 1]

im not going to jump on the bandwagon and slate these dogs and the breeder untill i have seen or worked one of these x myself and i think everyone else slating it should do the sameand stop being followers cause somebody slated it first everybody else should just mho

Good luck with the pup Andy, saw the litter and your pup the day you picked him up, they were a fine litter, please keep us informed of his progress. regards collie john.

SORRY MATE THATS NOT TRUE YOU CAN TRAIN MOST TYPES OF LURCHER PUP TO DO THAT EASY AND WHAT DOES SITTING TO HAND SIGNAL HELP A DOG WHEN IT COMES TO KILLING GAME? THEY DONT SIT DOWN TO DO THAT MATE SO COME BACK AND TELL US HOW GOOD YOUR POODLE X IS WHEN ITS AN ADULT AND KNOCKING STUFF OVER
