Geez guy, that dog was bread for hunting. I wonder if the other
"facts"
are as accurate.

Poodles have, and still do have in fact, a great reputation as a
water
dog and retriever. You just don't see a lot of them doing it.

They're also good on the grill, if you marinate them overnight in an
olive
oil/garlic/thyme/black pepper dressing. If the dog's owner objects,
offer
to
let them join the dog for a "spin" (on the rotisserie).

Disgusting creatures. The dogs are, too.

Do you mean poodles or dogs in general?

Dogs. All of them. And about 82% of their owners. This is based on
discussions with a number of them in my new neighborhood. Example:

Me: Pardon me....could you please NOT let your dog stop on my lawn in the
future?
Them: Why?

Why??? Why? Because it's my friggin' lawn and I asked politely. Why,
indeed.

LOL!!!

Ah, well it's not the dogs fault - it's the owner's fault. Dogs only
do what their masters allow them to do.

I have been a dog owner and trainer for most of my life. I did it on
the farm growing up with Border Collies, brought two of them east
with me when we moved to NE, handled and trained them when I was in
the service and have two Border's now.

I love dogs.

Well....they're more interesting than paper targets, I guess.

My ex-wife's cousin had a border collie. The cousin was one of those dog
owners who allow themselves to be brainwashed by their pet, so they believe
the dog can do no wrong. Cousin would leash the dog outside when it needed
to take a crap. Unfortunately, the spot she leashed it in was in the front
of the house where the beast could see guests coming, and the leash was long
enough to reach the front porch and the entire sidewalk from the driveway to
the porch. She (the dog) would get so excited when guests arrived that she
didn't realize she was stepping in her own crap. When the guests would come
to the door, she'd jump on them. What a treat: Come to dinner and have the
front of your clothes smell like dog crap the whole time. On my 3rd visit,
the dog was there, ready to perfume us. I dropped off my wife and went down
the road to a diner. That made for pleasant conversation when I picked her
up later. "You can't just vanish when my family invites us over!" "Oh? Some
people in your family are normal. This one's a blankety-blank hillbilly!"

On the next visit, the cousin promised to make sure the dog was indoors and
clean when we arrived. I had come straight from work wearing a nice, new
Hickey-Freeman suit. Inside, the dog came out of nowhere, jumped on the left
side of the jacket, got her claws stuck on the pocket, and tore most of the
left front of the jacket off. I kneed the dog in the throat, but it
continued pouncing and yapping, as border collies do. The cousin's first
comment: "Oh look how excited Jackie is to see you!" We were not rolling in
money at the time, but I needed to look really good at work. My wife finally
got on board at that moment and said "Wow! We'll be really excited when you
write us a check for the suit!" She and the cousin didn't speak for two
years afterward. HF was able to replace the jacket alone, since the
factory's right here in Rochester, so we gave her back some of the money.

Let's see....what else? Oh...yeah. Had a neighbor whose dog left its yard
constantly, and came to dig in my vegetable garden. When confronted, the
neighbor pointed out that the dog got off its "cord" and she didn't know
what to do about it. The "cord" was about the size of the red & white string
bakeries use to tie cake boxes.

Pass the marinade!
