Poodles are very intelligent animals and they make great pets. They are extremely easy to train and pick things up quickly. Bobby can sit, and stay. My wife can tell him to find me because dinner is ready. When she does, he comes and finds me and starts barking. Bobby can also tell time. Visit my Squidoo Lens and read about that.
The best thing he can do is talk. I am not talking about the "speak command" where the dog just barks. I am talking about TALKING! Our son was remarried last fall to a beautiful lady named Wendy. Bobby and Charlie kept after me because they had never met her. We boarded them when we went to the wedding. Finally, just to get them off my back I made a video and they invited her for a visit. View the video below and see for yourself. It is also on Youtube. That is Bobby doing the talking, Charlie is very shy.
