Pudelpointers must be good waterfowl retrievers in order to be approved for breeding. It is a standard breeding test requirement. Both my 11 yr. old and my 8 month old pup will retrieve waterfowl (or upland birds or furred game) on water or land, and track when necessary. An advantage of the wiry coat is the quick dry with a shake. A couple of pictures from this fall

Bear retrieving a beaver that I shot while the Lab just swims behind and watches the proceedings. 50 lb. beavers are too big and scary for most dogs, even Labs. Labs are undoubtedly better retrievers but PP's have a very strong prey drive.
