Pudelpointers display an aggressive search pattern, adapting their speed and range to the terrain being hunted. When hunting in areas of thick vegetation these dogs slow down and shorten their range to investigate the additional cover. In more open terrain they hunt a larger area with more speed. Whether you're in open country or heavy cover there is no need to use a beeper or location collar. If you lose sight of your dog wait a minute or two and he'll come find you.
Pudelpointers make excellent water retrievers as they possess a strong, inherited instinct to retrieve. They have a relatively good coat for winter water retrieving and do an admirable job in all but the most frigid temperatures. With strong natural tracking abilities, these dogs miss very few crippled birds on the marsh or in the field.
One of the Pudelpointers greatest attributes is its versatility. We start our hunting season September 1 with opening day of Dove season, where they sit quietly by my side until sent to retrieve. Many times I will place my dogs facing me, slightly in front and off to one side, to alert me of incoming birds from behind. When things slow down we walk the fields (picking up birds that other hunters and their dogs could not find) and shooting dove over my dogs point.
Mid September finds us hunting mountain Quail in the morning and Blue Grouse in the afternoon. October really heats up. Valley and Mountain Quail, Chukar, Sage Grouse and Blue Grouse. November, December, and January finds us concentrating on ducks and geese in the mornings, Chukar and Quail in the afternoon. We also chase a few rabbits throughout the season
Remember the word versatility, it does not matter what you want to hunt or how you want to hunt it. Whether it's Geese over decoys or Chukar on the steep slopes, Pheasant in the cornfields or Blue Grouse at 10,000 feet. Dreamwork Gun Dogs believes that once you have owned, trained, and hunted over a Pudelpointer you will agree:
