I too have been to their website before and to be honest feel like they are breeding away from what a Standard Poodle should be.

They are not a stocky breed and almost every one I have met has been super intelligent. Poodles should be refined not bulky, and being a lighter dog of bone they tend to excel at water retrieval.

I hate to say it but form follows function and its true that some Standards can no longer do the things they were bred to do but neither can the GSD.

*shrug*

They seam like nice people who care about their dogs but seam missimformed about what a Poodle really is.
