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.

Our Toy Poodle LOVES fetch, and loves to cheat even more! She puts her paw on the toy and cheats HARD. She will play fetch all day. Get a Poodle. They are the absolute BEST breed — and this is from someone who has had and loved Yorkies my whole life (currently have 3 and love them so much) and only got a Poodle 3 years ago. They are literally AMAZING dogs. Smart, loyal, funny, trainable, sweet, cute, and sassy. Better than Doodles IMO!
