Breeders Listing

Committee

The North American Pudelpointer Society is proud to have among it’s members some of the best breeders in North America.  To highlight those breeders and their accomplishments we’ve created the NAPS Breeders’ Program.  The goals of this program are to connect prospective puppy buyers with breeders who meet and follow North American Pudelpointer Society (NAPS) breed standard and breeding requirements and to help breeders develop and maintain professional, quality breeding plans through education and communication.  The breed standard and requirements have been developed and voted upon by the NAPS Board of Directors and its membership.  By directing Pudelpointer puppy buyers to responsible, breeders, NAPS is helping to improve and protect the Pudelpointer in North America.  By aiding breeders in the development of their breeding plans, NAPS is helping to maintain the performance, temperament, and health, of this superior versatile breed.

In order to be listed on this page you must be a member of NAPS in good standing, submit an application and pay an annual fee.

The Breeder Program is run by a volunteer committee of three NAPS members, in good standing, who have been appointed by a majority vote of the NAPS Board of Directors.  The committee consists of at least one breeder and at least one non-breeder.  This committee shall not act as breed wardens and will not evaluate every breeding by breeders on the list.  Nor does the committee have the authority to approve or disapprove specific breeders, instead they will make suggestions to the NAPS Board of Directors on these matters.  The committee’s sole role is to evaluate that a breeder’s breeding stock meets the NAPS breeding requirements and breed standards.

While NAPS has determined that these breeders and their dogs meet the requirements listed, we are not responsible for the individual practices of any breeder listed on this page.  If a breeder is found to be in violation of the Code of Ethics, they will be removed from the list for a period of at least 1 year.  NAPS shall not be held liable for the actions of the breeders listed on this page.

Breeders listed on this page have been determined to meet the requirements to be listed, but we still encourage all puppy buyers to read and follow the guidelines listed in our Puppy Buyers Guide.
