I love them.

I have never lived w/o one.
Great companions and some wonderful fishing dogs.

I have a question for some of ROFF

What do you do when you are in or near a campground?
Do you tie them up at anytime or are they obediant enough to know to
stay !! always w/o question!
Same w the river and other fishermen
Do they run around or do they only stay by your side? ...

Having the dog along is one of the reasons I almost always fish
alone and in places where I know it's unlikely I will encounter
anyone else. I don't mind the dog wandering through where I'm
trying to fish but I'm pretty sure most other folks would. I'd
rather fish with my dog than with another human so that's what
I do.

Same with campsites. I don't camp in crowded campgrounds but in
remote paddle-in or carry-in campsites so my dog can have the
run of the place. If I am forced to use a regular campground the
dog is always leashed for her own safety.

I thoughht that if I brought some DAWG music by David Grisman and
Jerry Garcia, that it would penetrate her mind to know exactly what I
want of her
Poodles are amongst the smartest dogs

And you sir, have most excellent taste in music. But I kinda
doubt Garcia/Grisman will have much value as a dog training aid. ;-)

Garcia never grabbed me nor did the Dead.
(Though Garcia is truly w the Dead now).

Grisman is another story.

He is a prolific musician and mandolinist.
My granddaughter grew up listening to their chidremn's songs (Not Only
For Kids)
She had to listen to my somewhat stumbling and sometimes
screeeeeeching attempts to play these songs on fiddle
esp Jennny Jenklin
We can now play this well together - she plays piano

Grisman has 8 or 10 albums w his Dawg music
It can't hurt April the poodle if I play her Dawg music.

Perhaps through

osmosis

It will seep into her poodle brain and she will be an even better and
a more obedient better dog.
You are correct - I can only take her were we are alone - I would not
bring her unles she learns nort to bother other campers and fishermen
