[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A poodle IS NOT a terrier.
It is a hunting dog that acts as both a field and water retriever. They are a gun dog/retriever. 
NOT a terrier. Also, the myth that the standard poodle is high strug is obnoxious. Standards are absolutely calmer and more obedient than any lab and many of the goldens i have ever met.
No breeder who intentionally mixes breeds can be regarded as ethical, responsible or reputable. [/quote]

I agree with most of this — I grew up with standard poodles, and they were very calm. However, the pp who used the term crafty was spot on. I didn’t want another poodle because I don’t want another dog that is smarter than I am.

I have to say that the whole “anybody who mixes breeds is unethical” thing makes me roll my eyes.  That’s how we got the vast majority of breeds we have today, and I can’t stand the people who stood by and let so many popular breeds be bred into a genetic dead end (see bulldogs (can’t breath) cavalier King Charles spaniels (heart disease), German shepherds (hips), and even golden retrievers (cancer)) lecture anyone about ethics.
