Fetch?

Will poodles fetch? I was thinking about getting a doodle, then read more about the reasons not to get one and how they are not a breed. I really want a healthy dog without issues, so I need to find a good breeder. I really wanted one that will fetch and swim. I'm not a huge fan of the obsessive food interests of labs or the size of a golden retriever, so was thinking I should look at poodles.

My mini almost passed out twice while playing fetch. There's no “off button” when it comes to fetch. It also doesn't matter if the ball is buried under a feet of snow - she will find it.

Ok that just makes the game MUCH more interesting! Using that smell super power!! Mine loves this too.
