They are not Poodles, Poodles are french, these are german, the are retrievers. But thier parents must have been naughty because they look like Poodles. Got it ??

Thank you!

@VAL3941, @ChuckStraub Ah well, I learn something everyday. LOL. But they are still beautiful.

@graceylou they are Poodles. They get their name from the German “Pudel”. They are not French. Closely related to the Portuguese Water Dog and the Irish Water Spaniel.

@ChuckStraub LOL. OK, I'm confused now. But I'm easy to confuse. I work with dogs so I thought I knew my dogs.

@ChuckStraub
My Pleasure !

@graceylou
Yes they are and so are you !

@VAL3941 I’m a poodle? ?

@graceylou
No ! Beautiful ! You silly girl ! ( smiles )

Yip, Retrieving Poodles ?

Thank you!

They are an ancient German water retriever, with a strong prey instinct. They are also excellent watch dogs.

@ChuckStraub
So as I understand it, they go and retrieve water and if the can't find it they pray and watch ?

@VAL3941 not hardly. The brown is the better retriever, the black is a better field dog. Both are active hunters. No squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, moles or opossum are safe in their territory!

@ChuckStraub
No wonder you are single ? Lol

@VAL3941 married 33 years

@ChuckStraub
Married and alone ! How sad !! LOL

@VAL3941 you must have nothing else to do?

@ChuckStraub
Nope, retired and bored to tears ! LOL

@VAL3941 you need a hobby, other than trolling other people’s posts! I hear surfing is good in SA! Or is it shark feeding? Lol

@ChuckStraub
I do have a hobby and I love sharks.
