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.

I would say why not have a go !!!

 

My sister has got a labradoodle who is about the same age, and she is a great retriever very fast and very "drivey", she was from a working lab and a show line poodle.

 

Just because they are cross breeds doesnt mean they cant and they dont all cost "ridiculous" amounts of money, you will never know unless you give it a try, go for it

First off, no I havent got a poodle thingy. I am a 100% springer man ! Sure you're all aware that the poodle is one of the oldest hunting dog breeds, as far the lab......... There was an article in one of the shooting mags about a bloke who had one sort of forced on him by his missus as a pet........ said he wouldn't go back. Any dog that can work is a good un to me !

give it a go bud,he will work to a degree and may become a good dog with time and patience.

worth a try i'd say.

go for it mate,what harm could it do in trying to train a dog to do some work for you in the field aswell as being a companion, there has been a few articles in shooting mags about these dogs being worked in the field, so i think you have a chance.

 

Ignore any criticism you get, people try getting staffys and so on to work for them ad get a massive thumbs up from all, as soon as poodle is mentioned people laugh. No harm is done and how good would it to be to get your dog trained to a standard you are happy with.

well first of all he is not a labrador x poodle he is a labradoodle x labradoodle if you get me? and no he did not cost ridiculous amounts of money as the local breeder is a friend of my fathers so we got him for free and if i dont work him he will not be a 'pampered pet'. He will be treated well and fair like all my other dogs he is not a fashion item like some people use there dogs as

You already have the dog mate so what is the harm in giving it a go, if it dosnt work out the training you will do will make it a very responsive pet and the excersise will do it good.

Sometimes odd ball breeds can suprise you with there keeness, i used to bush rabbits with a Rotti, she used to fly through the brambles like a terrier, worth a go mate good luck.
