Don't I know it. Mine is positively Machiavellian. Easy to train, does loads of tricks - but only where treat is involved, or to seek attention from strangers. Will stretch out to take the whole sofa if human occupant gets up even though she's a miniature. Not safe around unguarded bin bags - will shred and strew contents as soon as human is out of range.

Thats why standard poodles wouldn,t make good guide dogs and they had to cross them with labradors to make labradoodles for guide dogs. Poodles are way too intelligent to be guide dogs, they would be working out each gap to guide their owner through to the millimetre then times it by .05 and taking away pi... plus if you think they would do all that hard work just for the love of it, you must be joking, got to be at least a 3 course meal in it for them. Hee hee, love poodles.

My Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkshire Terrier Cross) is the same about her food and drink. Food has to be clean and cut very small, water has to be sparklingly fresh. But she loves eating rabbit poos. She would do anything for them
