Pudelpointer Puppies for Augusta, Georgia
Where can Augusta hunters get a pudelpointer puppy?
From Foothill Kennel in Flowery Branch, Georgia – about 120 miles northwest of Augusta, or roughly two and a half hours by road – a NAVHDA award-winning pudelpointer breeder. The quickest first step is a call to 678-316-6780 to hear about the next litter.
Few kennels in the Southeast breed pudelpointers, and good litters are reserved early. Starting the conversation before a breeding is planned gives you the best chance of the pup you want.
Why do bird hunters call Foothill Kennel one of the best pudelpointer breeders?
Because the results are on record: the NAVHDA Breeders Award in 2013 and again in 2017, and adult dogs that have scored at or near maximum in NAVHDA field testing. Those tests measure what a hunter actually needs – nose, search, pointing, tracking, water work and cooperation.
The kennel’s breeding standard goes further than most clubs require. All adults are hip tested, and dogs with even marginal hips are not bred or kept.
What can a pudelpointer hunt around Augusta?
Almost everything the area offers, from quail to ducks: the pudelpointer is a versatile breed that points upland birds and retrieves from water. That suits the Augusta area, where the Savannah River valley puts water and fields close together.
- Waterfowl: ducks on Clarks Hill Lake (J. Strom Thurmond Lake) and along the Savannah River
- Quail: managed bobwhite habitat on public land such as Di-Lane Plantation WMA in Burke County, south of the city
- Dove and woodcock: agricultural fields and river bottoms through the eastern Piedmont
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division sets Georgia’s seasons and manages its WMAs; the lake also borders South Carolina, so check which state’s rules apply where you hunt.
How does a pudelpointer fit into family life?
Well, for an active household. The breed is calm and friendly indoors, good with children who like to be outside, and easy to groom thanks to a low-shedding wire coat. What it needs is exercise and a purpose – a pudelpointer that hunts, trains or runs most days is a relaxed house dog.
