The Pudelpointer

 
 
The History of the Pudelpointer
The Pudelpointer’s origins, as the name suggests, comes from the crossing of a Poodle to an English Pointer. It now may seem surprising that the poodle, which is only known to us as a fashion dog was used as the basis of creating a breed of hunting dog. A relatively unknown fact is that the big, curly-haired poodle (royal poodle) was originally an excellent hunting dog and into the last century was used quite often for this purpose. The breed was very well known for it’s Flushing and Water Passion as well as it’s track will and loudness, it’s desire to find and retrieve game overall sharpness on game, intelligence and learning ability. It was considered the most intelligent of all dogs.  That said, the desire of modern hunters was to have a dog more consistent with that of the Pointer. The pointer and more recently referred to as the English Pointer in unsurpassed in the field with the wide, unfailing nose, the fiery temperament; the enormous stamina, speed with expansive search and a fixed protrusion, even as the dog with the most brilliant field manners.
 
Will almost certainly be but probably never would have thought, two at first glance so counteracting thoroughbred races such as poodles and pointers to merge and develop breeding would not chance came to help. For at first purely incidental and later intended use poodle crosses with blood had been proven. Sun quotes Dr. Stroese 1902 in the German fighter a sentence from a newspaper in 1817 published book: "The best hunting dogs are mongrels of the large poodle." It was inevitable that, even at random and later planned crosses between poodles and pointers came, but were not developed as an F1 generation, but used as a commercial crossroads. Of two such random poodle pointers, the brown dog "Juno" and the black male "Nimrod," Hegewald reports in his writings on the dog. Both were top dogs in the hunt versatile use of the old master. It is beyond the scope of this report, we wanted to reflect praise Hegewald, these two dogs here. But not only in Germany but also in England, Spain and America had been made with products from crossing pointer and poodle blood best experience. The British had even managed already to develop from a curly-haired Pointer to x poodle Apportierhunderasse durchzuzüchten and the "Curly-Coated Retriever". There was now inevitable that doyen Hegewald was obsessed with the idea for the versatile use of hunting poodle and a wirehaired pointer blood half-blood race to establish and develop what the best of both breeds originating in the United and constant further inherited. But it was not joy in experimentation that drove him to do so, but the knowledge that from the old German chicken dogs, which had become quiet and hetzunlustig and which is also on the nose was missing, not likely to have strains were herausgezüchtet with working dog equipment . For it was not yet come upon the idea of mobilizing the Old German, with English thoroughbred
 
Thus, after much dithering and despite all the challenges to the controversial former cynology dared the beginning of 1881. The first deliberately bred PP-litter was the pen forester Walter Wolf in the village at Goldberg in Silesia from the black poodle bitch "Molly" for the whitish-brown pointer severe shock "Tell". This connection came from "Cora village of Wolf", which already corresponded largely Hegewald ideas of Poodle Pointer: the hunting abilities of both races and the exterior of origin a tall, rough-coated, dürrlaubbraunen pointer from the poodle to be in outer herausgezüchtet figure. This bitch has long been a model. A total of nine original tribes from poodle x were founded pointer, using both black and a brown poodle eight and nine-white-pointer. In seven primitive stocks was the father of a poodle and two primitive stocks a pointer.
 
There have now been paired not Pudel Pointer of the F1 generation with each other, which would have immediately led to splits in both the phenotype and the genotype, but the F1 generation and the next generations were backcrossed with whitish-brown pointers, making the heterosis (hybrid effect: enormous has been increasing investments and performance compared to the parental generation updated) again and again and even increased. Only gradually they also went to pairings of x over poodle poodle pointer pointer. From 1924 to 1945 has already been operated absolute pure breeding. Only after the Second World War when the breeding stock had fallen in the chaos of the war and postwar period to a minimum, targeted and was moderately re-Pointer blood supply, thus preventing inbreeding depression and a renewed heterosis was reached. After almost thirty years now following breeding planning on the principle of pure breeding in 1983 again a narrowly limited attempt has been made with pointer blood. The descendants of the first subject once the breeding barrier will always undergo a rigorous selection process.

The two practiced in the PP-breeding purebred breeding methods are therefore the limited and sometimes the back-crossing with Pointer blood, the latter only with approval of the annual general meeting. While one achieved by the practice in the context of pure breeding line breeding, inbreeding also means light, balanced a constant power level and a single guy who occasionally bring backcrosses made only relatively short-term successes (heterosis). For something close to that have become breeding base acts by backcrossing, however, contrary inbreeding depression.

The poodle is no impact of the German Pointer Vizsla, which was falsely and at times even said very loudly and is but a rough hair Vorstehhundrasse, which goes back genetically to the original breeds poodles and pointers, and was created in complete isolation from the other German Pointing Dogs. Poodle Pointer has the benefit of the foundation of the German wire-hair "contributed significantly. These are facts that must not be confused.

Although poodle blood was used in the creation of the original tribes, it's amazing how the old poodle heritage, which manifests itself in intelligence, training ability, track will and Spurlaut, Bringfreude, resourcefulness in Verlorensuche, Flushing Passion, water fun and predators sharpness, also get at today's Poodle Pointer has.

The poodle pointer, like all German Pointers, bred as a versatile hunting dog for the field, water and forest hunting. Of course not led any Poodle Pointer versatile, since the hunting capabilities of many hunters are now more than ever, often heavily restricted.

In the box to the poodle pointer, although he is not regarded as outspoken specialist field, show a fast, expansive, pointerähnliche search with a fine, then nose, with a fixed protrusion and calm tightening. Although the underlying classical field work, the chickens continue to search, unpeeled stubble, alternating with yellowed Kartoffelbreiten, in the past, we maintain this breeding goal and let's not put off by the opposite opinions. Because our poodle pointer are dressage Sun influenced, that they where they need to remain short, also looking briefly at the gun. They are also due to their Poodle heritage, so intelligent, to adapt to the respective flight technique of the game. They have much in some practice soon discovered that the pheasant, in contrast to the striving forward chickens, with high coverage often wegdrückt back and only a quiet, short and can be found circling search for the shooters around is. In today because of changes in hunting conditions often propagated by breeding the short paging, we see the risk of re-engineered to the old German Pointer.

The Passion of the water poodle pointer is proverbial. The resounding poodle heritage has been preserved since the founding of the original tribes to the present day. A poodle pointer with only a moderate tendency for the wet element does not deserve the title race.

Even as Bush Dog, the Poodle Pointer has proven time and again since its justification. Foresters in the Hunsrück and the Eifel led him once when seeking to deer. From the last decades we have many examples of successful welding known. As a safe and Verlorenbringer Lautstöberer the PP has acquired a name.
 
The Pointer is bred poodle color, with small white
Badges, such as white spot on chest, without concerns are. The color was desired by Hegewald dürrlaubfarben, the best camouflage for hunting and forest protection. Today's breeding objective is more focused on medium brown to dark brown. Black is not tolerated and is often found by single-pair of Pointer blood and remains as the dominant color for decades.
The PP is almost the desired hair to coarse rough with good undercoat, with a strong beard, at least implied forelock and full Bauchbehaarung. Desirable is to long, thin and soft hair. Short-haired dogs are excluded from breeding.
Although there are always times setbacks to the two original breeds (woolly hair of the poodle, the Shorthair Pointers), the Poodle Pointer today mainly required by the breeding regulations hair. After injection of Pointer blood, we must expect several generations with increased occurrence shorthaired dogs, as you from the F2 generation with their splits the rough-haired puppy of a litter does not consider which of them are homozygous and which spalterbig rough. For out of rough-coated dogs spalterbig mendeln always out and short-haired offspring. But as the "Point hacks" if they are ever released for breeding, never each other but are always paired with purebred Pudelpointem, breeding the Wire-haired gets back under control.
After the political division of Germany after the Second World War there was only during the first years breeding contacts between East and West. The breeders in the territory of the GDR, where up to World War II, centers on the PP-breeding were were forced to expand the breeding base for the exchange with the former Czechoslovakia, with Poodle Pointer were imported, which had some of the blood of the DDR-breeding lines. But blood was eingepaart pointer, a Zuchtweg that was practiced in Germany yes. The performance level was very high in the 60s and the demand for large poodle pointers. Many puppies went to foresters, but few of them committed themselves to breeding. Thus the breeding base has been shrinking, and the PP population could only be sustained by the exchange with Czechoslovakia and the frequent crossing of pointer blood. In desperation embarked PP-breeder, even one that had never practiced Zuchtweg and could prove PP-DD females from males, so that part of the poodle pointer at the reunion proportionately DD-led blood. Since 1990, applies here again the principle of pure breeding. Puppies with DD receive any share of the club pedigree poodle pointer. The establishment of the National Group of Central Germany marked the final step in the single stock.
Outside Germany, there are significant decline PP-breeding in Austria and Canada, with lines on West German PP strains, and in the Czech Republic. In Canada, must measure the Poodle Pointer noble competition of the Field Trials with pointers and setters, and so far he could still show what he is capable.
Because the Poodle Pointer is a versatile hunting dog rummaging in the thorny terrain threat to violate the rod tip, the PP-puppies - how this is handled in all short-and rough-coated hunting dog breeds - docked at the age of three or four days by about one quarter of the rod tip is removed. To prevent cruelty to animals by injury to the long tail, we must continue to insist on the right of Rutenkupierens if we also grow in the future our poodle pointer for the versatile hunting will use.
