History of the Pudelpointer breed
Origin: Germany
German hunters began deliberately crossing poodles with pointers around 1881, and then recrossed with pointers to establish the type. The studbook was opened in 1892, the club in 1897. In North America, owners test dogs using the NAVHDA system.
Pudelpointer is a medium-large (55-68 cm, 20-30 kg) German universal hunting dog with a stiff coat, beard and eyebrows. Cooperative, attached to the owner, calm at home. Needs a lot of movement and activities.
