About the Pudelpointer
The Pudelpointer is a versatile German gundog created by crossing the Poodle with the English Pointer to unite the Poodle's intelligence and water-loving trainability with the Pointer's nose and pointing instinct. The result is an all-around hunting dog that points, retrieves on land and water, and tracks, with a dense wiry coat that protects it in cold and brush. Even-tempered, biddable, and hardworking, the Pudelpointer bonds closely with its people and makes a calm, affectionate companion off the field. It thrives with active, sporting owners who can provide serious exercise and a job to do, and it is prized among versatile hunting enthusiasts for its cooperative, level temperament.
Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.
