History
The Pudelpointer is a rough-coated pointing dog originating genetically from two breeds, the Poodle and the Pointer, and developed completely isolated from other pointing breeds. The Poodle was used only to create the foundation stock, but its characteristics have been preserved to this day; combined with the Pointer's field abilities this produced a versatile, genetically sound working gundog.
Coat
Close, flat-lying, hard rough coat of medium length (4 to 6 cm at the withers) with dense undercoat, a beard and a forelock on the head; it should protect against weather and injury. Whole coloured: brown, dead leaf or black; small white markings are permitted.
