[RC] 25 miler dogs - Sue Walz

My Standard Poodles are GREAT horse dogs! They can run a 25 mile training ride with me & have energy left. They clean up easily & don't shed all over my house & clothes! They're very intelligent & trainable with great temperaments.
I've been a dog groomer for over 30 years, all breeds. I've seen aggressive characteristics in cattle dogs & in Ridgebacks that concern me. Mostly towards animals, but sometimes, esp. with cattle dogs, towards humans. During rides with my poodles I've had to fight off aggressive dogs belonging to other riders & hikers. And I hesitate to have a herding breed around horses unless I want them chased! Natural instincts are tough to train away from, but certainly not impossible with diligence.
Temperament is a genetic trait. So if you buy a puppy of any breed make sure both parents are very friendly to both people & animals!
