Pudelpointer Dogs and Puppies Near Atlanta, Georgia
Where can I get a pudelpointer puppy near Atlanta?
Foothill Kennel in Flowery Branch, Georgia, is about 40 miles north of downtown Atlanta – roughly an hour up I-85 and I-985 – and breeds pudelpointers from NAVHDA-tested parents. Call 678-316-6780 or send an inquiry to ask about upcoming litters, then plan a visit to meet the dogs near Lake Lanier.
Most pudelpointer litters in the Southeast are planned months ahead and spoken for early, so the best time to get on the list is before the breeding, not after the puppies are born. For an Atlanta family that means one short drive to meet the parents now and a second one to bring your puppy home.
Who is the best pudelpointer breeder for Atlanta hunters?
Foothill Kennel is one of the top pudelpointer breeders in the region: it received the NAVHDA Breeders Award in 2013 and again in 2017, and its dogs have scored at or near the maximum in NAVHDA field tests. NAVHDA – the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association – tests a dog’s nose, pointing, tracking and water work, so those scores say more about a litter than any photo can.
What to look for in any hunting dog breeder:
- Parents with NAVHDA Natural Ability or Utility test results you can see
- A breeder who matches each puppy’s temperament to the owner’s hunting and home life, rather than selling first come, first served
- The chance to see the kennel and the adult dogs in person
We try to place each puppy with the owner it suits best, which is why we ask how you hunt before we talk about which pup.
Is a pudelpointer a good gun dog for Georgia birds?
Yes. The pudelpointer is a versatile gun dog, bred in Germany from 1881 to point, retrieve on land and in water, and track, which fits Georgia’s mix of upland and waterfowl hunting. Its wiry, water-resistant coat handles briars and cold mornings on the water alike.
From Atlanta, that versatility is useful within a couple of hours’ drive:
- Upland: bobwhite quail and dove fields in middle and south Georgia, and woodcock in the river bottoms
- Waterfowl: ducks on Lake Lanier, the Chattahoochee and the reservoirs east and west of the city
- Mountains: grouse cover in the Chattahoochee National Forest north of the kennel
Seasons, licences and public hunting land are set by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division – check its current regulations before you plan a hunt with your dog.
