I talked to several breeders before connecting with Eric and he spent over an hour with me on the phone the first time I talked to him. I was very specific about the qualities I was looking for in a dog and it was evident that Eric had similar goals. All of his puppies are top of the line dual purpose gun dogs and family members. On top of this, Eric and Ingrid go above and beyond in their support for all of their buyers from vet questions, training advice, and support through the NAVHDA testing process. At 18 months old, everyone who has hunted behind Otto has been amazed at his bird finding abilities and intensity on point. Thanks Point North!

Working with Point North Gundogs was a fantastic experience. We not only received an outstanding puppy with phenomenal natural ability and drive, but also a wonderful pet and companion for our family. As this was our first pointing breed, I was nervous about training and the possibility of making mistakes along the way. Eric was incredibly supportive throughout the process. He's always available to answer questions and even inviting me to join him for training sessions and hunts. I truly can't say enough good things about our Pudelpointer or our experience with Point North Gundogs.

I own a Point North gundog. I have also hunted over several from the kennel. I can tell you with certainty they are exceptional dogs. Our Apollo has proven himself a steadfast hunter, loyal companion, and wonderful with my younger kids. We are already in line to acquire another. It would be difficult for me to overstate just how dedicated the team at Point North Gundogs is to their dogs and the success of their future dog owners. Whether it is the rigor of their breeding program, the time they spend in the field, or patience they spend with new owners (myself included), they go above and beyond-a sign of deep passion. Getting a dog from Point North Gundogs is about the closest you can get to a sure thing. It's not a matter of whether you will get an outstanding dog, I am confident you will. Rather it is a matter of whether that dog is right for you. My suggestion- call Eric and tell him what you are looking for in your future gundog. Eric is very deliberate and will let you know exactly what you will get an what you can expect.

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and let you know how incredibly happy we are with Rhett. He is everything we could have hoped for and more. In the field, he is a MACHINE with a phenomenal nose and a strong drive to hunt. Watching him work is a true pleasure, and his range and hunting IQ keep getting better with every hunt. At home, Rhett is just as impressive. He is unbelievably gentle, patient, and loving with our children. They climb on him, wrestle with him, poke and prod, and he takes it all in stride with nothing but calm tolerance and affection. He has also fully claimed his role as family cuddle companion and especially loves curling up with my wife. He truly has the sweetest disposition. Rhett has fit seamlessly into our family, and we love him more than we ever expected. We feel very lucky to have him and are grateful for the work you do. Thank you again for giving us such an incredible dog.

Couldn't be happier with our Pudelpointer from Point North Gundogs. He has been great in the field and at home. On top of that, Eric has been a very supportive resource for us.

From the first phone call to now having a 10-month-old pup, the information and communication from Eric and Ingrid has been outstanding. I felt very confident through the entire puppy process, and it became clear Point North's breeding program is top notch. Our boy has impressed us every step of the way. He learns new skills quickly, has a strong desire to please, and has become a bird manic. In the house he is a well-mannered dog and a best friend to our young daughters. We're excited for the day we get to experience another Point North Pudelpointer!
