Actually, I have dobies and mini poodles, and most people don't realize because these dogs are so different in looks, but they are alot alike in temperment! Both are what I call velcro dogs, they want to be with you at all times, they do not do good as a kennel dog. Both are VERY intelligent and can be very protective of "their" people and are really good guard dogs, the poodles don't realize that they are smaller than our dobes, it's very comical to see our 3 mini poodles chasing our large dobie around the yard because he was bugging them!they also tend to be far more protective than most people would realize...everyone thinks of dobies or rotties as guard dogs...well poodles are typically extremely good guard dogs........
Well my poodle is easily as big if not bigger than many dobes....he stands 27 inches at the shoulder he is a big boy and he hunts.....he loves upland game and does well at waterfowl......but the velcro thing is very true and I am not a fan of that type of dog thankfully this dog is mostly my sons and my husband hunts with him......he is also a ball fanatic......a water fanatic, and a serious mouser :bgrinActually, I have dobies and mini poodles, and most people don't realize because these dogs are so different in looks, but they are alot alike in temperment!

OMG Gunn is the same way LOVES to de fuzz his tennis balls and then "crack" them like an egg :bgrin I just found a solid rubber tennis ball we are testing it out to see how long it will last"Is your Phillipe ball possesive as well?"
He is but he also knows that he can't continue to chase it if I can't get it to throw it for him.We used to play for hours on the banks of the Columbia River in Portland. His favorite are tennis balls because he can de-fuzz them and then break the rubber apart. He'd do that when we were playing on the river and when the ball would sink he'd dive several feet down in a current for it. He'll run until he's almost dead (he has kept up with me on a 20 mile long mountain bike trail through some tough mountains in Montana) and he won't stop swimming or diving if you don't stop him yourself before he drowns.
OK that is one HUGE dog...my borzoi is in the realm of 32 and she is gigantic...bigger than many great danes.....I cannot even imagine a poodle that HUGE :new_shocked: :new_shocked::saludando: I bred poodles for 30+ years And even though they don't come in but three sizes really . People often say teacup for the very small toys. The lady I groomed with for years had several that were under 4 inches. She had a dog which downed sized everything he was bred to. no matter the size of the bitch , her pups matured small than dam. Also we use to groom a dog from Germany that was an "Imperial". We had to put two tables together to work on him. He was 32 inches.
