Poodles were originally bred as gun dogs to flush and retrieve game from water. Its not the dogs fault that idiots stopped using them as gun dogs and tried to turn them into a fashion accessory.
I'd say that the vast majority of dogs out in homes today do not do what they were bred for. My neighbor and his sister are two prime examples. Between the two of them they own 2 labs and a couple of golden retrievers. All of them are purebred. None of them have ever been used for hunting.

Correct! And they were sheared in order to lessen the load of water they would shake off after retrieving ducks. To keep them from getting arthritic from cold water, they did not shear over the rump and shoulders--classic poodle bouffant, but kept them in the field a year longer....

Golden Retriever s, from a very active universal hunting dog to a platinablondt, stupid useless toy.

When a dogbreed becomes "popular" it is doomed

Luckily three are dog owners, hunters and breeders keeping hunting lines alive.

I knew a goose guide in Arkansas that transitioned from a real dog ( Chesapeake Bay Retriever ) to a standard poodle!
