Pudelpointer

For over a century, the Pudelpointer –a medium-sized dog with wire hair in either brown or black and boasting a unique moustache/beard combo– has continued to thrive as an impressive merger of two distinct breeds: Pointers and Poodles. Bred in Germany, this crossbred canine is an undeniable success!

Hunting was once the backbone of society; therefore, a hunting buddy that could traverse both land and water with intelligence and obedience was highly valued. Because it would have been too expensive for most people to own multiple dogs solely devoted to this task, the Pudelpointer served as an ideal “all-in-one” solution. The Pudelpointer is an extraordinary breed of hunting dog known for its natural abilities to retrieve, point and track game in a variety of conditions. With their owners’ guidance, these hardworking hounds are normally used to hunt birds, rabbits and other types of small prey. Besides being exceptionally talented on the field, they also make wonderful companions with whom you can share your outdoor adventures!

There’s no doubt that the Pudelpointer bears a striking similarity to the German Wirehaired Pointer. Their head is in perfect proportion with their body, framed by large, unruly ears which hang close to their cheeks. Moreover, due to its stunning and lively amber eyes nestled in its face, this breed exudes an air of alertness and vigilance.

The Pudelpointer possesses a unique ability to integrate effortlessly into households, yet retain their formidable hunting instincts. These dogs are friendly with children and will often engage in playtime activities when given the chance. They form close attachments to their family members, displaying love and affection that may lead them to experience separation anxiety if left alone for too long. This breed is highly appreciated for its loyal companionship as well as its intelligence during hunts.

The Pudelpointer is an active breed, not meant to laze around on the couch. With their high energy levels and relatively large size, it may be best to avoid housing them in an apartment or small home. To ensure they are able to expend all of their excess energy, regular walks and runs should be part of daily activities. Additionally, allowing access outdoors will give them the opportunity to display natural behaviors while receiving much-needed exercise!

This breed of dog is renowned for its low shedding coat, making grooming and care a breeze. Its fur offers excellent protection from thorns and brambles, as well as rugged weather conditions – perfect for any outdoor pup! With just twice-weekly brushing sessions to keep it in good condition, their paw pads, ears and skin should also be inspected regularly after outdoor time to check for burrs, parasites or grass seeds.
