i'd have thought after all these years of breeding for perfect show looks, the poodle will have lost whatever hunting/chase instinct it might have had. im no saying they are'ne intelligent, and im sure they make ok gundogs when cross with lab as loadsa dogs will retireve, but im no convinced about using them as lurcher to chase prey. just my opinion.

you'd be suprised, my parents had two standard poodles at different times when i was a lad, and both were keen as mustard. sometimes could be hard to recall if they got the sent of a rabbit.

its not the poodle in the dog that catching the rabbits its the grey you can put all kinds of dogs over a grey and the pups would be capable coz of the GREYHOUND BLOOD.

it is, but they get the nose, the intelligence, the need to please, and the retrieving abilities from the poodle, and the agility that over crosses might not offer

I think I've said somewhere before, Poodles arn't like Show GSD'S that have had underirable traits bred out of them for the pet market so they have very little work ethic left. Poodles are delightful dogs and more importantly nobody has bothered to breed out the hunting instinct, they didn't need to. Modern Poodles still have all their hunting instincts intact. My standard is as keen as mustard, I actually wanted a labradoodle but couldnt afford one lol I bought my Standard and thank god I did, he has run rings round every Doodle we have come up against. He takes rabbits for me also.
