Which schools (besides Pilot and GDD) train poodles and/or labradoodles?

Poodle!  Vizlas are good but tend to bond to you more than anyone else.  If
they have a labradoodle down there that would even be better.  When I got
holly, she was a donation and they only had 4 before that.  They don't
usually have them but you could get lucky!  Poodles and vezulas and for that
matter iether don't shed or do it very little. Vezulas have very short hair
and require less grooming than poodles.  But, poodles usually have a better
attitude.  Labradoodles are the best!  They are loyal like labs and smart
like poodles.  Mine knows she works for me but gets along with the whole
family!
