ATZE II vom Centralhof
pudelpointer Atze 8 months old

This is a site about Pudelpointers. There is some history about the breed, what the breed is about, a look at our experiences in Germany with our friends and our dogs,several slideshows to show you our special moments, dogs and friends, and some interesting links.

Here you will also find the ongoing story of Atze II vom Centralhof. Follow the story of his growth from young pup to finished adult dog, as it unfolds. But it is not only the story of his growth, it is the story of our growth as well. We are Jude Gerstein and Jeremy Kellough.

With Atze, we will be taking our dog with our friends in Germany, from early puppyhood through to his final test. Each chapter brings us a new understanding of how the progression flows within the framework of the JGHV German Hunting Dog system. Atze will be trained in the steps of exposure and discipline mirroring his littermates in Germany. The difference will be that Atze will be trained on both sides of the Atlantic. It is not the smallest of undertakings. This is the commitment we have made to our PP Family... without them all of this would only be a dream.

For more information on the JGHV, please see some of the sites listed on the Links page listed below.

But none of this would be possible, were it not for the wonderful friends we have come to know in VDD-GC. Not only did they keep the fire for training in us, they are making the possibility of preparing for a Judge's apprenticeship possible. Of course, we will be relying on our Group Canada friends like Ken Dinn, Sandy and Gary Hodson, and Adam Pethick. Yet, I think Atze's godfather, Mickey Ristic will be keeping the closest eye on his godson. Mickey was the first from North America to see Atze.... and Atze left a lasting impression on his dog Junebug. But Mickey's dog DD Anna vom Noble Spirit is Atze's one true love.
