Breeding quality hunting dogs for the uplands and water.
(1)
Annabee Wadsworth is a youth handler, who ran her first dog in a NAVHDA test this weekend. The judges nicknamed her Ice since she was so calm, like she had ice water running through her veins. Annabee and Ridgeviews Buster Von Grouse recieved a prize 1 112 today. Great job and I can't wait to see how you two do in Utility.
What a fun weekend, we had 4 dogs test NA. Ridgeviews Storms Never Last recieved a prize 1 112, Ridgeviews Watermelon Moonshine recieved a prize 1 112, Ridgeviews Buster Von Grouse recieved a prize 1 112 and Ridgeviews Liesl Sappington recieved a prize 3 102. Thanks Anna Bee Wadsworth, Brandon Smith, Bart Sappington, and last but not least my wife Lesley Kinzner for doing a great job with your puppies.
Looking good Kelly and Teddie
Congratulations Jaymisen Webb on your prize 1 NA with a score of 110. Ridgeviews Splash Maker is Jaymisen's first hunting dog, and he is a youth handler. Jaymisen thank you for putting a big smile on my face this afternoon. Thanks Rehbeccah Burkhart for the help you have given and getting this puppy in good hands.
I tried to make this post with music two times and got flagged for copyright issues. Sorry now you have to listen to my excited puppy voice. Ridgeviews Lose Control (Teddie) is at our place for a few days and since it was sunny and there is great puppy water in the local fields me and Teddie hit the ponds.

A few videos from the puppy confidence course
Had a Bosu ball out and the puppies loved it. If you have ever tried standing on one of these you would appreciate how hard it is.
Doing a little puppy retrieving had to be quiet since the rest were sleeping
It's been a fun ride so far Reba. Happy 3rd birthday Evergreens the heart wont lie.
Learn the full history and development of the the versatile hunting dog the Pudelpointer from the 1800's to modern day.
Yesterday was a good day nine healthy puppies.
No chukars were harmed today but Lainey had a few opportunities. Check out all the elk in the background of the first picture.
NAVHDA Breed of the Week no. 23: Pudelpointer
Country of Origin: Germany
Number Registered with NAVHDA: 9,622
Height: 21-26 inches
Weight: 44-66 pounds
The Pudelpointer was developed in the late 19th century through the systematic breeding of 11 different German hunting poodles and 80 different pointers. The Pudelpointer was introduced to the US in 1956 by Bodo Winterhelt, one of the founding fathers of both NAVHDA in 1969 and the Pudelpointer Club of North America in 1977. Pudelpointers are widely recognized as excellent versatile hunting dogs with strong desire and style in both water and the field, and are generally intelligent, eager to please, cooperative, and friendly. Pudelpointers make excellent family companions but, like all versatile dogs, they are high-energy dogs that require vigorous daily exercise.

Currently NAVHDA recognizes 30 different breeds of pointing dogs. While each breed differs somewhat with respect to their physical characteristics, they all possess the versatility required to locate, point, and retrieve upland game, find and retrieve wounded waterfowl, and serve as well-mannered companions.
Spotlight Dog – Cedarwoods Comfortably Numb – “Lido” NA 112 / UT 204
Lido’s owner reports says:
“Lido was the recipient of many great traits passed on from his mother, Prairie Trout's Rambunkous. He hits the ground with an intensity that is infectious, a drive that is always looking to the next hill or piece of cover, and a gait that makes it all look effortless. He hunts with such enthusiasm and joy, it's easy to catch yourself smiling while busting cover. Whether it's sharptail, pheasant, huns, or desert quail, his point is always with quivering intensity. Take one look at his mother's water entry, and it's easy to see where Lido gets it from. There is nothing gentle about it, only a 55lb missile being launched at Mach Ten. Would it be easier to test a dog that doesn't land fully submerged at each duck search and marked retrieve? Probably, but that wouldn't be as entertaining. He enjoys stealing every retrieve possible, and tends to flaunt his prize when delivering to hand. On the flip side is a dog that is the most pathetically lazy indoor critter you've ever seen. Good luck prying him off his dog bed. And if there is a human nearby, he is either sitting on their feet or curling into their lap. A COVID puppy that grew up in my wife's home office, I know he's not really my dog, but I carry the gun so he reluctantly leaves my wife at home for our trips. “
The highest compliment we have heard of Lido comes via his breeder, Tim Ploog, who says that Lido is probably the best hunting dog he has seen. As for hunting, Lido begins the season in late September near the Canadian border and hunts nearly seven days a week, straight into February, ending up near the Mexican border! That is how you build a wild bird gundog!
To learn more about Lido and the breeders who work with his genetics, please visit https://www.pudelpointer-alliance.com where he will be featured as one of over 30 top stud dogs available to NAPPA members.

Ridgeviews Watermelon Moonshine (Lainey) pointed her first pheasants today. She was responsible for 2 of these birds from our morning hunt.
Splash pointed several pheasants today on her first hunt. Thanks for getting Splash out doing what she is bred to do.
Michael Gill sent this to me this evening. Thanks Michael for all the work you put into this pup.
Today was Oregon’s youth waterfowl season. Grandson wounded a teal. We waited an hour or so. Sent the dogs over where it went on land. Ruegr locked up and pointed it. Dacsh went in and pushed it back to the water. I sent Ruegr after it and he lost it from diving. They both look for five minutes and Dacsh comes back with it to hand. Ridgeview Pudelpointers for the win. Plus he sat in the blind today for the first time and not a peep out of him.
