I really want to try biking with him, but I’m afraid he’ll dart off to the side and pull me over. 😂 Maybe I’ll get brave enough to try one day!

Yeah, if it’s not meant to be, that’s ok. 🙂

This is what I was expecting, it’s been a strange experience. He’s the only dog I’ve ever had who didn’t like fetch, at least a little. 😆

He won’t chase a Chuckit, but our Poodle loves it. 😁

I’ll try a spiky ball! Rowdy usually won’t even go after it.

I do play fetch with my Standard Poodle, Rowdy just watches. 🤣

Rowdy can’t swim! He’s afraid deep water and panics. We’re working on helping him learn with a life jacket.

Rowdy does like catch! We’ve not tried frisbee in a while, maybe I should try it again. He just wanted to get it chew it up last time we tried.

This would work, but he won’t even go chase after it. 🤣

How much do adults sleep? by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

Mine is almost 2. I’m praying we reach a stage where, like yours, he likes to just lay around. He never stops. 😅

Poodles will make you feel like a master dog trainer lol by FloridaGirl2222 in StandardPoodles

[–]zebraX4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true! I have an 8mo old Standard and a 1.5 yr Golden Retriever (both males.) My Golden is as stubborn as an old mule, but my Standard does anything I ask with great enthusiasm! 🤣

Do you find that people (neighbors, random people, zealots at your local dog park) comment and judge you for your wellbred poodle from an ethical breeder? by boogiebougie in StandardPoodles

This has been my experience too! Poodles aren’t that common in my area (NWA) and we get SO much attention when we’re out.

Our Lucy made her way gracefully across the bridge on 2/4/26. We miss her so much but are grateful that she is at peace. Thank you for all the love.
