Is Foothill Kennel a top pudelpointer breeder?
Yes – it is a two-time recipient of the NAVHDA Breeders Award (2013 and 2017), and its dogs have scored at or near the maximum in NAVHDA field tests. The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association awards breeders whose puppies test well as a group, which makes it a good guide to what a new litter is likely to become.
Beyond test scores, the kennel hip tests every adult dog and places puppies by temperament, matching each one to the new owner’s hunting and home life.
What does a pudelpointer do for a middle Georgia hunter?
It does the jobs of two dogs: point and retrieve upland birds, then fetch ducks from cold water. The breed was created in Germany in 1881 for all-round work, and its wiry coat protects it in briars and in water.
Middle Georgia gives it plenty to do:
- Rivers and swamps: ducks along the Ocmulgee River and its bottomland, including Ocmulgee WMA downriver
- Upland: quail and dove on the farmland and pine stands around the city, with the Oconee National Forest a short drive northeast
- Managed public land: B.F. Grant WMA in Putnam County is one of several areas within an hour of Macon
Seasons and WMA rules come from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, so check them before each season.
Will a pudelpointer shed in the house?
Very little. The pudelpointer’s harsh, wiry coat holds onto hair and does not carry a strong dog smell; a weekly brushing and the occasional bath are usually all it needs. Some people with mild allergies tolerate the breed, but spend time with the dogs before deciding if allergies are a concern.
