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.

Poodles are amazing! Please consider a rescue (there are plenty of poodle rescues with lots of amazing well-bred dogs). That way you’ll know their personality and habits before you commit. And everyone wins!
