Charlie, Standard poodles were originally German water retreivers,supposed to be number two in the dog world for smarts,Boarder Collie is number one.
Riley(the black dog)has a big brother that weighs 75lbs.
Riley is so smart he's still teaching me how to hunt!
. Right after I gave him the dickens because I thought he was looking for field mice, he immediatly charges into a grass clump and kicks out a rooster,which I missed by a mile. He then stood there and glared at me with the "Stink Eye" look.
Kept my mouth shut and trusted the dog the rest of the day!!
16ga pumps and Parkers were guns of the day. 10 birds located and 8 in the bag,great way to spend a day with my oldest son, the pups and sons friend.
