Coastal hunters often look out of state for a versatile breed; having an award-winning breeder in Georgia keeps the search, the visit and the pick-up far simpler.
Which pudelpointer breeder has the best track record in Georgia?
Foothill Kennel has received the NAVHDA Breeders Award twice, in 2013 and 2017, and its dogs have scored at or near maximum in NAVHDA hunt tests. NAVHDA – the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association – grades dogs on the skills a hunter depends on, so a breeder’s record there is a strong signal for a new puppy.
The kennel also hip tests all of its adult dogs and does not breed any dog with marginal hips.
Is a pudelpointer a good duck dog for the Georgia coast?
Yes. Pudelpointers are strong swimmers with a dense, water-resistant coat, and they retrieve as naturally as they point – a good fit for marsh and river hunting. The breed came out of Germany in 1881 as a true versatile dog, meant to work in fields, woods and water.
From Savannah, that means:
- Tidal marsh and rivers: ducks along the Savannah River and the coastal marshes, including the Altamaha River delta to the south
- Upland: quail, dove and woodcock inland on the coastal plain’s farms and pine flatwoods
- Long retrieves in cold water late in the season, where the coat earns its keep
Coastal Georgia seasons and WMAs are managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division – check its current rules and any federal waterfowl requirements before you go.
Do pudelpointers handle heat and humidity?
They manage well with sensible care: early-morning work, shade, plenty of water and rest in the hottest part of the day. The wiry coat is not a heavy double coat, but like any working breed a pudelpointer needs its workload matched to a coastal Georgia summer.
