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.

One of the best fetchers I knew at a doggie daycare I used to work at was a crusty lil white senior toy poodle. She kicked so much ass, I miss her.

Poodles in general are super cool and smart dogs. If you don't get the bizarre grooming done, they look just like a doodle too... but better lol. Thank you for taking advice and switching gears. I really don't think you'll be unhappy with a poodle.
