I'm not very familiar with pudelpointers. What is more typical, the more wirey coat or the smoother coat one.?

The wiry coat picks up some burrs but I don't pull them. I just throw him in the box and he cleans himself and they work themselves out. I've probably only pulled a couple since I've had him and those were out of his beard. The wiry coat is nice after a week of hunting pheasants. He doesn't look any worse for the wear but his beard is shorter. The slick has a pink belly from running in the brush and cattails all the time.
Addicted-have the pups whelped yet?

can I get some info on the dog,like where to find one around here and price..Really cool shot of them pointing
Rare breeds usually cost you a lot more.
You can usually get a quality Pointer, Setter, Shorthair, Wirehair, or Brittany for a fraction of the price and you'll have a lot more options to choose from (something for everyone).
Not a knock on pudelpointers, but something to consider. You can buy, and pay to have trained, a very nice dog for the price of some rarer breeds.

AspenBud, out of the dogs you listed the only one that is reliably a water dog is the wirehair and they cost the same on average. They are around $1200 average for a well bred dog of either of those breeds. If your looking for a dog that loves the water like a lab and points like a pointer, get a pudelpointer. A wirehair would be a close second choice IMO.

My dogs are out of Cedarwoods Kennels in Boise Idaho. I'd highly recommend him. There isn't many around here but you can see mine if you want. I know of a related pup here in Skagit County also.

If $1200.00 is the going rate that's not as bad as I expected. Good to know. Spinoni Italiano go for $2000-$3000.
I don't hunt ducks these days so that wasn't in the calculus when I made the above comment. I just know you can find a fireball of a an upland dog for $500.00 out there and it would be quality. But it would be within the "big five" pointing breeds.
