Quick Question Help a Brother out...lol

Well it looks like you got the dog already. My parents had one when I was a kid, they actually bought it for me. Three years of hell later a nice older couple were walking by the house and "Sara" ran out barking her head off at them. I went to grab her and this couple was going nuts over her. So I said, if you like her, why don't you take her, I will go get the leash and food. They sent my parents a card every year with a picture of that damn dog and them in it, glad they liked her.
 
All joking aside, poodles come in several sizes and they are all clean, non-shedding dogs. I'm pretty sure that they were originally developed as one of the working dog breeds. I forget the actual mission/job of the breed...probably hairdresser or acrylic nail technician...:)

Well speaking of mountain men show the new guy on there on Kodiak Island has a dog.
Unless I miss my guess it's a pudlepointer about 50-60 lbs .
It finishes off a fox pretty nicely in one episode.

I'm hoping for the best..... Expecting the worst

X2 on the Pudelpointer.

They're smart stubborn dogs that need a lot of attention. Just watch the shoes, remote controls, cell phones, wallets, glasses,....

Well spoke to the Breeder and she said that the cocker spaniel is her husbands hunting dog and the poodle is her purse dog.
The dog my GF choose looks like a cocker spaniel so I got my fingers crossed....keep everyone in the same predicament posted,.
 
Hey greenjeepguy

That's a pretty big fella what it weigh in at ?

We have asked for a female from the litter if possible.
Some of the #####es he has are pretty big

I hear you on the my stuff is a chew toy for the pup...lol

When we had German short hairs as puppies I could just stop on the way home from work and pick up a couple lengths of door casing.

That thing looks like the dog guarding the sheep(Sam the sheepdog) from the wolf (Ralph Wolf) in the old Merry Melodies cartoon “Don’t give up the sheep”. Lol

Mike's dog is a German Wirehair.

Which leads me to recommend the versatile breeds. I looked extensively and ended up there. Currently have a deutsche drahthaar...

I doubt you will see any game drive in your girlfriends dog. Don't waste your time and just get a DD. if she doesn't like it, say bye.
 
My buddies laughed when i brought a 170lb english mastiff dove hunting. No game drive but she will retrieve any dove she sees hit the ground. Also hates coyotes with a passion. She can shake a full grown male coyote like a chew toy. Shes a perfect guardian of my family and house not a hunting breed but well trained enough to stomp brushpiles for flushing rabbits and retrieving downed game. Loves water to. Theres hope your mutt is capable if you put the time and effort into training. But ive had pure bred beagles from amazing hunting lines that will totally useless
 
My second wife bought me a pure bred Brittany Spaniel for bird hunting. That thing was full retard, never had a more useless hunting dog in my life. At the same time, she bought herself a little Yorkie, not the teacup kind, but it was still very small. On a whim, I took the Yorkie partridge hunting. It picked up right away and was a ferocious bird wrangler. One time I wounded a partridge on a wing shot, and thought I had lost it. Heard a tremendous ruckus in the bush, and the yorkie dragged the bird by the neck out onto the path, the bird was bigger than the little dog!

Only problem with the yorkie is that it got cold easy, due to the human like hair on it, so I had to have a vest on it when we went out. So maybe bargain your wife up to a full size Yorkie.

Standard Poodles were water dogs. The floofy poncy looking poodle haircuts were to keep heat on the joints and otherwise strip the dog down for work. Originally.

Jesus yes, avoid paying pure-bred prices for mutts! Shop carefully, check the breeder's references, and end up with a dog that turns out like you expected, rather than some random agglomeration of features from maybe both.

Remember also, any non-shedding dog means you are on the hook for a lifetime of payments to the groomer, if you are not willing to do the hair cutting yourself (also a not insubstantial cost in equipment if you want to do it reliably).

Should buy the wife what she wants. Yorkies are a terrier breed, complete with the terrier attitude. They may be small, but they act ten feet tall and bulletproof. They don't eat much, and if you keep them stripped down, they are easy keepers (as opposed to the classic show cut with the long draping hair, a PITA to maintain).
As a side note, I knew a woman that had 17 of the little buggers in her small home. Bath day for the whole lot was about a 45 minute job.

Get your wife what she wants, trade off the happiness to get what you want, and everyone ends up with what they expected.
