Re: [MBZ] OT poodles
Poodles are very smart, and my LabraDoodle definitely got a lot of it from his Mama Poodle! He can distinguish cars! The other day, I took a trip into town to meet my parents who were riding in their Purple HHR. When I came out of the hobby shop to meet them, there was another car parked right in front. I knew that it wasn't their car since they were parked down the block. Quincey went up to the car, and no matter how many times I told him This is not our car!, he wouldn't leave it. My mom saw what was going on and tooted her horn. That got Quincey's attention, and off we went to the right. I found out that the other car in front of the shop was a black HHR! I want to test this theory out in a parking lot where there is at least ONE other HHR. If I still had a Diesel Mercedes, I would try to get him to recognize the sound too.

[MBZ] OT Poodles
Poodles: Were originally bred for hunting and retrieving in water. They have web feet for swimming. The hair cuts actually reflect their hunting roots -- the poofs on heads and feet hold air in their dense hair (like people hair, yes it needs to be cut every 6-8 weeks) so that they could swim better. Some people have taken it to ridiculous extremes, but the dogs don't seem to care. They are somewhat painful to maintain if the dogs like getting out in things as you have to brush them out and keep them from getting matted up. Their head poofs will turn into nappy dreads pretty quickly. Poodles are quite smart, some in devious ways, some in more laid-back ways. They are definitely not frou-frou, and can hold their own quite well with any other dogs. I have a black 76 Eldo convertible that the dogs love to ride in (and people like to see them in it). Maybe in Florida you need a white Caddy, but then you also have to get a small poodle, not a standard. We call those little ones snacks but they exhibit the same intelligence as the big ones, just kinda yappy. Labradoodles need hair cuts too. --R (who has 3 standard poodles now, a red female Sadie about 40 lb, with very strong hunting instincts, keeps the 2 80 lb phantom boys Merlin and Guinness in line, and spanks them when they get out of line, and who had a black female Molly and a parti male Marley die on us, sadly) Dillon, Meade M CIV SPAWARSYSCEN-ATLANTIC, 53310 wrote: Does a Labradoodle need frequent haircuts like a poodle? I've only met one standard poodle in my life, and he really impressed me to the point that my next dog, if I ever get a dog, will probably be a poodle. His haircut was kind of angular, Japanese-cartoon inspired, and made him look very muscular. He was extremely smart, calm, and no-nonsense. Friendly but in a very reserved sort-of way. The only thing that turned me off was the need for regular haircuts and associated cost. I guess I could learn to cut poodle hair and save some $.
