*For many years, I had a Standard poodle bitch who was the best hunting
dog I ever shot over. She would retrieve in the water, give me the duck
or goose, shake, and she was nearly dry. On the contrary my hunting
partner's Springer Spaniel would be a very cold dog once he got wet. In
France poodles were originally used as hunting dogs. We have made them
into sissies, but I bet if offered the chance, they would hunt and
retrieve as they were originally supposed to do. That Standard poodle is
why I am in GSDs today. I could not face getting another one, and I had
always liked Shepherds, and that is the "rest of the story". Doris
