Gunny's German Pudelpointers isn't your typical dog breeder. The founder spent 21 years in active duty with the Marine Corps across four combat tours and 38 country deployments, followed by 8 years in federal service. He comes from a line of Swiss-German mountain woodsmen with generations of hunting and military service. That background—combined with a lifetime of hunting, fishing, and working with dozens of dog breeds—led him to one conclusion: the Pudelpointer is the most versatile and loving hunting companion available.
Developed in Germany in 1881 by Baron von Zedlitz, the Pudelpointer combines the German Hunting Poodle's intelligence and water love with the English Pointer's hunting drive and nose. The breed was created specifically to track, point, and retrieve on both land and water. It took a mix of 11 Poodles and 80 Pointers over 30 years to get the balance right.
Here's what you actually get:
- •Upland bird hunting – Natural pointing instinct and retrieve drive
- •Waterfowl work – Love of water inherited from poodle bloodlines
- •Blood tracking – Exceptional scenting ability from pointer genetics
- •Shed hunting – Excellent nose for finding antlers
- •Three coat phases – Adaptable to different weather and terrain
- •Low shedding – Considered hypoallergenic with minimal dander
- •High energy in field, relaxed at home – Calms down after hunting to be a solid family dog
Gunny's works with top-notch hunting dog bloodlines specifically selected to ensure puppies inherit strong hunting instincts, intelligence, and a genuine desire to please. Litters are raised in a stimulating environment from day one. Training starts at 4 weeks old—and Gunny's has documented puppies performing flawlessly in their first fowl season at just 6-8 months of age, often outperforming much older hunting dogs.
They feed Purina Pro puppy during weaning, then transition to Purina Pro adult mixed with chicken, venison, rice, eggs, and salmon. Both males and females make excellent hunters—females mature faster but aren't necessarily easier to train.
They don't live off dog sales. Puppies pay for their own food, training, vet bills, and the charitable donations made on their behalf. Everything beyond that goes to their values.
- •50% of meat donated to needy families after hunts with their dogs
- •50% of profits donated to the local Wounded Warriors community
- •Free dogs to veterans and first responders – Police, fire, and active/retired military get puppies at no cost
- •Lifetime support – They stay involved with every dog they breed. You get ongoing training advice, hunting tips, and a genuine relationship
- •No contracts required – Zero paperwork nonsense
- •Free rehoming – If you can't keep your dog, they'll take it back at no cost
- •Fully registered with the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association

"This man went out of his way to bring a pup to me and it didn't stop there. He continues to be of help whenever we need. He really looks out for his fellow service members." – Wes T.
"Gunny is a great breeder that cares about his pups. He is there for questions and comments anytime. Our Rosie is an amazing family dog that loves kids, water, definitely birds and retrieving." – Jodi M.
They're high-energy in the field and relaxed at home. Highly intelligent, they form strong bonds with their people. They get along with other pets (cats, dogs) when adopted into families, though they'll chase smaller rodents or fowl. If you're looking for a dog that hunts hard and then curls up at your feet on the couch—this is it.
