How do poodles compare to labs?

So I've gotten back into waterfowling for the first time in a long while and I'm looking back into it. I've always ran with labs ever since I was young, but now I am more accustomed to non shedding dogs, I own an old portie and a giant schnauzer. I got inspired to look into poodles watching that old episode of duck dynasty. I was just curious for the guys that use poodles, how do they compare to a lab? Are they any better, worse? Just share your experience with them as a working dog.
