Due to family situation I cannot have a dog that sheds and the only one that truly doesn't is the poodle. I have seen a few websites with hunting poodles, primarily pheasants, but I keep hearing rumors that are good upland dogs and water dogs if you can find a line that hasn't had the instinct bred out of them. See if you can refrain from bad jokes, petty remarks, etc., does anyone have first or second hand experience with poodles that hunt?

And when you take a break from the field and stop at a local biker bar for lunch, you can take Fifi into the bar in the crook of your arm. Just joking, of course. I wouldn't want to get into a fight with a standard poodle with an attitude.

The standard Poodle was originally a German duck retriever, a descendant of water Spaniels.An extremly intelligent dog eager to please and easy to train.Here's our boy Riley this fall. I love the strange looks, double takes and snickers we get when hunting afield, the real jokes on them. A Poodle, A Patridge and A Parker anyone? ;>) Bob

Good for you for not be afraid to be different. We had a Schnauzer that just plain loved to hunt. This breed does not shed either. Now, I have a West Highland Terrier. He is an avid squirrel hunter and dove retriever. Funny, they claim that Westy's don't shed, but ours doesn't know that.

Bob,
Did you get Riley in PA? I'll drive to Pennsylvania Dutch Country to see a breeder.
Bouvier, thanks those are the only websites I have found. BTW do you hunt a Bouvier?
Anyone know of any breeders of hunting poodles in the NY/NJ/CT area?
Thanks, Rob

Had a friend who swears his standard poodle was the best gun dog he ever had. I met him too late to know his poodle, but I know he's had some excellent Labs, so I believe what he says.

There was a snow goose guide I hunted with once in Arkansas who used Labradoodles. Cross with Labs, of course. They all had the Poodle hair and he said they did not shed. Good thing, because he kept them inside in his "Lodge". They were also superb retrievers. You might consider this option instead of trying to find a hunting line of Standard Poodles; probably cheaper too...Geo
