He says, "You cannot hunt if physical access is extremely difficult or impossible." Try telling that to everyone who hunted before ATVs and 4WDs were common! That's all I needed to see and I didn't try to read any more.

BTW, poodles were first bred as hunting dogs. A guy even uses a team of them to complete the Iditarod sled dog race.

Yep, and dachshunds kill badgers in Germany. What do you think your chances of getting a good hunting poodle in America are?

About the same as finding a good hunting Golden Retriever. Pretty good if a person knows where to look and looks there.

I use "Chiwawas" for Bear.

You really believe that you can find a hunting poodle as easily as a hunting Golden? I would think that there are hundreds of hunting goldens for every hunting poodle in America. What would you use as a comparison, though? Field trials would be the obvious choice.

I had a golden that would point quail. My friend had a standard poodle as a kid that was pretty, but worthless.

CH- That was a bit tongue in cheek.

Maybe you guys should come to Idaho and hunt over a Pudelpointer. I know where we can get one to show us some birds.

I worked with Bodo Winterhelt for a few years when I was training my shorthairs, so I am pretty familiar with pudelpointers. If I ever get another bird dog, it may be a pudelpointer.
