[nagdu] Chocolates was RE: TSE now breeding poodles

[Nicole Torcolini]

It's not that chocolate labs  are not bred as guide dogs but rather that
they're just not in the gene pool. It takes a certain gene combination to
get a chocolate lab. I think that GDB currently does not have any
chocolates. There was an article about some chocolate puppies, but I don't
know what became of them. I think some of the other schools have chocolate
labs.

I've only ever seen one poodle as a guide from the MIRA school in Montreal.
How is their temperament?

Someone also asked me something the other day, and perhaps you guys will
know... why are chocolate labs not bred as guide dogs?  Again, my exposure
to this brred is very limited...

 Hi:

I'm no expert but I doubt they would do cross breeding at this time since it
sounds like they want to use these dogs for people with extreme allergies.
When you cross breed you don't know if you'll get more lab or more poodle
which means you don't know which temperment  you'll get and what the
shedding status will be. Also, i've heard that labordoodles and
goldendoodles often are rather anxious which can express itself as dog
aggression. Of course, if you've had a lab and get a poodle  it could be the
poodleness that is very different. Bogart is a vocal dog and to my
annoyance, often is quite barky, especially out of harness.

As a side note, i'm not positive this is the case but i know my school in
canada has been sharing dogs with  TSE so maybe this breeding poodle  pair
are related to Bogart. Smile.

Good news though. I always like to hear more poodles are available.

Gary and very poodle bogart.
