When it was first suggested to me that we
should get a Standard Poodle as our next dog, I was not too
thrilled. Why on earth would anyone want such a foo foo princess
kind of dog? But then, I vaguely remembered my parents watching a
friend's poodle while they travelled...I didn't remember it as anything
but a fun dog.
A little research later and I was able to
make the leap to poodle ownership. Standard Poodles are indeed
"manly" dogs. Heck, if John Steinbeck was willing to share a camper
across the the country with one, they couldn't be all bad could
they? Also, I found that they originally functioned as water dogs to
retrieve birds. In fact, this working aspect of the breed is
gaining more and more respect among the traditional modern retriever
community (though you are still likely to get some skeptical looks at
retriever trials).
To get glimpse of the verstatility of the
breed take a look at Versatility in
Poodles web site (if you don't visit it you won't find the
cache). If you take a look at the Working Poodle link you will be
able to find some information about the requirements for achieving the
Working Certificate and Working Certificate Excellent (WC/WCX) Titles.
To
reach WP 1 you will need to find out how many birds (a) have to be
retrieved at 50 yards on land for the Working Certificate Title, and
the number of yards (b) that are required for the land retrieve for the
Working Certificate Excellent.
The first WP will be found at:
N 47 35.x where x = (210*a) + 3
W 122 11.y where y = (3*b) - 8
The resultant coordinates will take you a micro find where you will
find the coordinates to the final sandwich size box. It should be a nice stroll in
the park if you choose a fair weather day! The difficulty is
mainly based on the muggle factor.
