The Pudelpointer is not recommended for apartment life. This breed needs plenty of exercise to prevent extreme indoor restlessness. It will do best with at least a large yard.
This dog is energetic and tireless. It is very important that it gets daily vigorous exercise to prevent it from becoming high-strung with indoor restlessness. The Pudelpointer can be a challenge for even the most active family and they should not be taken on as a family pet unless they can guarantee plenty of daily vigorous exercise. It needs to be taken on a daily, brisk, long walk, jog or run alongside you when you bicycle. They are excellent jogging companions and love to swim and retrieve. While out on a walk or jog, be sure to make the dog heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, never in front, as instinct tells a dog the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human.
About 14 years
About 5-10 puppies
The coat of the Pudelpointer should be brushed about twice a week with a firm bristle brush. Bathe only when necessary. Check the ears to make sure they are clean. The feet should be checked after the dog has been out working. This breed is a light shedder.
In the 1800s the Pudelpointer was created in Germany by crossing the German hunting Poodle (pudel) and various types of pointers, by a breeder named Baron von Zedlitz. In 1956 it was introduced to North America by a breeder named Bodo Winterhelt.
Hunting
Chip the Pudelpointer at 2 years old—"Chip is quite the character! She has so much energy, is cute, sweet and funny. She loves to play fetch, particularly with a tennis ball. I take her out daily and use a ball thrower so she can use twice as much energy. She can play all day and never seems to get tired. We have to put the tennis ball away when we are done or else she will continue to try to play fetch. When she is resting, she loves to cuddle. She thinks the words Djibouti or Chewbacca mean something, though I don't know what she thinks they mean. She freaks out every time I say them. She loves to go bird hunting and has the best nose ever. For a two year old, she is an amazing hunter (after she calms down a bit). She is an all around great dog and I don't know what I would do without her!"
