Before entering our breeding program our dogs are hunted extensively on wild birds.  They must have the drive, desire, and resilience to finish a hunting season with the same fire that they started the season.

SIRES THAT WE HAVE USED  

I spend countless hours researching and evaluating dogs before I commit to a pairing.  I am not breeding to achieve “good” hunting dogs.   I only consider the highest quality stud dogs and when I find a quality match, I spare no expense of time, money, or convenience to make the pairing happen.  Driving females all over the country to pair with an exceptional stud and trying to time it perfectly is not easy.  However, I have met some exceptional Pudelpointer owners that I now consider friends.

Litters
Progeny
We have consistently earned breeder's awards for outstanding test results. Our pups mature early and by the end of their first year, they are holding their own against seasoned gun dogs.

Our goal is not to breed “good” dogs.  We  consistently produce “exceptional” hunting dogs and if they are hunted hard they will be as good as most seasoned dogs their first season. 

The way I judge a dog in my mind is: if this was the only dog that I had going into a hunting season, would I hunt it or would I find another dog. Field time is too precious to piss around with average. From what I’ve seen out the litters that we have produced, I would hunt the hell out of any one of them. 

 

Our Past Dogs
Foundations
Our first Pudelpointer arrived in 2001

Garth was our first Pudelpointer.  I drove out to Boise in 2001 to pick him up and meet Bob Farris.  He lived to be 15.  I am thankful for the memories.

I imported Yala from Germany in 2004.  I had the opportunity to visit her kennel and meet her breeder, Gundolf Pohl.

In 2012, we brought home Stella.  She was the matriarch of our kennel.

Our Dogs hunt! Their Parents, Grandparents, and Ancestors tracked back to the 70s Hunt. In fact, a non-hunter should not own a Pudelpointer.
