Member of the North American Pudelpointer Alliance (NAPPA)
Our Pudelpointers only go to hunters. We are committed to producing versatile gun dogs that are calm in the home but “turn it on” in the field and exhibit an awesome balance of cooperation and a tenacious drive to produce game for the gun. Our breeding program strives for the complete gun dog; intelligence, drive, cooperation, and coat.
One of the best things about producing outstanding dogs for outstanding people are the relationships built. I train and hunt with several that started as “clients” and turned into solid friends.
I am so proud of the road Jason has taken with the Pudelpointer as a breed and his role on NAPPA’s board as one of their directors.
I met Jason Mix many years ago when I sold him his first Pudelpointer. Later when he was deployed to Germany by the military he had me work with his second Pudelpointer that he imported while stationed there. Over the years I have encouraged Jason to take an active role as a breeder as his honesty and dedication to the breed is rarely seen in today’s world of hunting dog enthusiasts. I am so proud of the road Jason has taken with the Pudelpointer as a breed and his role on NAPPA’s board as one of their directors. Jason’s military past and background has certainly indoctrinated one very fine husband, father, and young man that continues to make my heart proud…….Bob Farris

This is what the Paladin family and NAVHDA are all about.
Alyssa, Joe, and Kayleigh spent the weekend training, testing, learning, and making memories with their dogs at their local NAVHDA fall test.
Alyssa ran Agnes in the Gun Dog Test. Agnes brought plenty of desire and “go-go juice,” maybe a little too much at times, and finished with a Prize III. She did great on the drag, heel, and steadiness by the blind. The field work showed where there is still some training to clean up, but that is part of the process.
Then there was little Maeve, who is only 4.5 months old. Joe ran her on Friday, and Kayleigh ran her on Sunday. Maeve struggled some with the water, which they expected, but her drive, determination, field work, and use of nose were strong.
The coolest part was watching Kayleigh, at only 10 years old, run her very first test with her own dog. Running a NAVHDA test can be intimidating for adults, let alone a young handler with a 4.5-month-old puppy she has only had for a couple months. Kayleigh and Maeve earned a Prize III.
That is something to be proud of.
They plan to give it another shot after hunting season, and I have no doubt that time, experience, wild birds, and continued training will help both dogs keep moving forward.
This is bigger than a score. It is family, dogs, training, testing, hunting, and making memories together. That is exactly what this whole thing should be about.
Great job Alyssa, Joe, Kayleigh, Agnes, and Maeve.
Chris and Jäger from the X-litter started their second season this morning, and it sounds like Jäger is picking up right where he left off.
Chris said his points were rock solid, and he showed great improvement in his field positioning and awareness.
That is the kind of progress you hope to see when a dog moves from the first season into the second. The lightbulbs start coming on, the experience starts showing, and the dog begins handling the field with more purpose.
Chris summed it up best: “It’s an absolute pleasure watching him work.”
Great job, Chris and Jäger. That is a pretty good way to start the season. …
At 4.5 months old, Goose is already showing a lot of what we hoped for from this breeding. Goose is owned by Tyler and family. He is out of Cross Timber’s Fifi “Hazel” and by Cedarwoods Mountain Top “Moses.”
He not only has the looks, he has the natural ability to go with it. He is being trained by Bridget Neilson and Tate Martinson, two very experienced and successful trainers, and I think they like what they see in Goose.
That says something.
It is always fun watching a young dog start putting things together, especially when the natural ability is showing up this early. Goose has a lot of good things ahead of him.
Great update on Grimm, a pup born here this summer out of Zayda × Moses. Grimm stayed here a little longer as part of our started puppy program before heading to his family in Michigan.
They sent this update: “Grimm is doing great! He’s getting along well with our other dogs and the kids. We’ve planted some of our quail around the yard for him to find a couple times now, and he’s done a great job finding them and staying on point. We’re all amazed at how well he calms down when the kids aren’t being wild. Honestly, he’s just a really great puppy, and we’re excited to get him out in the field.”
That is exactly the kind of update I love getting. Natural ability matters, but so does the ability to settle into family life and be a good dog in the house.
It definitely wasn’t for lack of trying. The dogs worked their tails off, and we wore plenty of boot leather.
It was tough hunting, but it was still a great experience. New country, big country, good dogs, and good friends. The camaraderie was great, as usual, and camp was a big part of the fun.
One of the highlights for me was definitely the Hot Springs. There were moments where I thought I probably would have been just as productive staying in the hot springs and drinking a beer instead of chasing sage grouse. But that is hunting.
Overall, it was a great way to kick off the season. Hard, humbling, and still a lot of fun. I’m grateful for the opportunity to travel, see new places, chase different species of birds, and do it behind some pretty cool dogs with friends who have pretty cool dogs. I’ll probably be back, if for no other reason than revenge. …

Sounds like Grimm is off to a great start.
