My father in law told me a story about people out west who had a minature poodle that went 20 miles often with them. They went on horseback and the poodle jogged along. There is something about smaller dogs being light on their feet that enables them to go forever!
I love this! It's so cute to picture these little guys keepin up with the big folks We haven't 100% figured out our position yet but we've talked with many breeders and poodle owners and love the dedication everyone has for their four legged friends.
