Hi. I'm new to the community and am in the process of contract for a standard poodle that will be my service dog and companion. I am an avid hiker (think alps) and camper. however I have neck and spine issues that prevent me from carrying even the smallest of packs. hence the service dog.
the breeder has nice sound hunting stock. females 50-65 lbs. males 70-80 lbs.
I am 5'5" and 125 lbs.
day hike pack weight is 5-8 lbs.
I'm trying to decide on whether to go big and request a male. or would the female size work out fine. bone structure is another consideration. makes have larger bones.
any suggestions orcshared experience is most appreciated
