A Pudelpointer is a versatile hunting dog breed from Germany. They are a pointing breed that came from a cross between poodles and various pointers.
In the 1800s, a German breeder, Baron von Zedlitz, worked on producing his ideal tracking, pointing, and retrieving gun dog, suitable for work on both land and water. From seven specific Poodles and nearly 100 different Pointers, he developed the Pudelpointer.
Although it is an excellent breed with no major faults, it has never become a popular or well-known breed. In Germany, its performance standards are its most important traits and each dog must pass a test of its field skills to be registered as a Pudelpointer.
The breed weighs between 44 and 66 pounds (20-30 kg), stands 21 to 26 inches (53-66 cm) at the shoulder, and comes in liver, chestnut, and black coats.
