Child Prodigy

Hi All,
I hate to brag, but a it is now a week since Baron observed poodles hunting, and he has grown from the experience. He saw poodles retrieving ducks, taking walks on a heel command, urinating, barking, and playing. He has obviously learned a lot. First of all, he has perfected his hunting skills. He caught 2 frogs and a grasshopper (I had no jar available for the latter), and has proven to be an expert at hunting kleenex. He not only retrieves (and keeps) used kleenex from the wastebasket, but is actually able to hunt down kleenex still in the box. Is he terrific or what?

Secondly, Baron has learned that duck is indeed a delicacy, and obviously one that is sought after, otherwise why would so many poodles be working so hard to retrieve a dead duck? He has decided that although his particular brand of duck and potato diet is on the pricey side, why switch? After all, poodles go to the trouble of retrieving ducks without actually eating them. Baron does not have to actually retrieve a dead duck, which might mess his fur or even worse, get his paws muddy. He gets to eat ducks that have already been hunted and prepared (thankfully not by me). How easy is that?

I think this proves that Baron has a high IQ and his difficulty with dog obedience must be the result of boredom. Spoken like a true mother, right?
