Daryl, Not too local, Coalport, PA. A three hour drive. Rosebud kennels currently has a line of Champion show dogs. This same line has had success in agility and a few as trained hunters.
Desmond is 12 weeks old and weights 18 lbs, should be a big boy. Guessing 60+ lbs .Hopefully big enough to handle ducks and geese.

Have really been curious of late about hunting bred poodles. A buddy has a black one that is dynamite on doves and ducks....retreiving.

Neighbor has a Labradoodle. He is just over a year old and close to 75 lbs and is a ball of energy. Unfortunately owner is not a hunter but I bet he wishes he was. Dog is smart, attentive and non stop energy. I have never been around a hunting poodle but know they are smart.

At 12 weeks it looks like we have potential for a hunter!
I think this boy will be a joy to train!

He sure looks like a natural Bob.
Fluffy little guy, isn't he? And I thought Grace picked up a lot of burrs. .

He's a Teddy Bear right now, will be on the grooming table shortly.
I've lost count of the number of times people have ask how we get the burrs out of their coat. I always answer, "the same way you get them out of your English Setter"!

Yes, with a great deal of patience and combing beginning out at the end of the fur and working closer and closer to the skin. We never start against the skin and try to drag all the burrs out through the hair. I guess Kathy, being a professional stylist knows about tangles.

The round ball burrs found around here we cut with a matt cutter. They brush out a lot easier when broken up.
A poodle needs a haircut every 3-4 weeks anyway, so cutting out matts is no big deal, it grows right back. We generally shave them down closer during hunting season just to make it easier.
