Molly doing what she loves to do. She would do this all day—retrieving off the dock without hesitation. Molly is from our C Litter and shows the kind of natural water drive and enthusiasm we value in a Pudelpointer.
Rip from our E Litter ripping up the lake. Thanks to Lance for sharing. We start water retrieving early, and these pups leave here swimming before 8 weeks—as long as owners continue the exposure and keep building on it.
We use kayaks to help build water confidence in Pudelpointer puppies. This pup went from only wading chest-deep to swimming several hundred yards today. Put them in the position to make the right decision, and let confidence grow naturally.
The new kennels are working out well. None of our Pudelpointers live in a kennel full time—they need to be with their people. At the same time, they must be comfortable staying in a kennel when needed. Balance, structure, and adaptability matter.
Nelli watched her daughter, Molly, doing retrieve training and decided it was her turn. A great example of drive and enthusiasm—like mother, like daughter in these Pudelpointer retrievers.
Cute Pudelpointer puppies learning to use the dog door. Simple systems like this help keep cleanup easy while pups gain independence and confidence early on.
Young Ida says good morning, jumping off the dock and showing her love for the water. Waterfowl drive, determination, and enthusiasm on full display.
Hot weather means water. Lake life and water love on a day that’s too hot for work—except for jumping off the boat to retrieve. When it’s hot out, water work keeps things fun and safe.
White is such a cool pup. Watching Pudelpointer pups build confidence through early exposure, movement, and figuring things out on their own. These moments matter.
