They are one of the most versatile breeds out there.
They retrieve upland game and waterfowl, they excel at obedience and agility.
They are one of the fab four breeds for therapy dogs, and they actually do really well at bite work.
The only real downside is the price, and all the **** grooming.
I am taking a grooming course so I can do it myself.
I also have a mentor for training and titling.
We had a black poodle once.. His name was peppy-all black.. We cut his hair.. You can do it.. I cut my fluffy dogs hair.. Shih-Tzu mix . It will grow to the ground. I also cut the Schnauzers hair... which I think that breed is mixed with poodle and Pincher.. not sure now..
All curly- and knots. Unless its cut. I just use scissors and don't sweat it.. some people use clippers..

even if you make a stab at it... and your dog looks all chopped up.. In a week it will look just fine...
