NAPPA is a breeders Alliance made up of sincere Pudelpointer breeders
requiring strict breeding regulations with the intent to protect and improve
the quality of the Pudelpointer as a versatile breed in North America.
NAPPA's philosophy and commitment to excellence has generated
considerable attention and growth. Today NAPPA is the largest cooperative
effort among pudelpointer breeders in North America representing over 60
Utility prized dogs of breeding age. The synergy created has allowed NAPPA
breeders to share considerable data on their dogs to include test, hip, size,
color, coat and in some cases DNA. This data is entered into our breedmate
data base and is available to all NAPPA members. Why cooperate and share
so much data? Simple, a cooperative effort of this size must have a central
data point. This allows breeders to analyze and select a stud, potential future
breeding stock, calculate inbreeding coefficient, etc, from almost all possible
breedings of qualified dogs anywhere in North America.
Some breed clubs in North America have limited genetic diversity and
require outcrossing to other breeds to maintain their genetic strength and
vigor. NAPPA utilizes the genetic diversity already found in North America
and Europe thus avoiding these outcrosses to achieve the preferred desired
results.
NAPPA like many breed clubs, requires a Utility Title for males and a
minimum score of 105 points in natural ability for females of the breed to
qualify for breeding. Many NAPPA breeders exceed this minimum by
requiring a Utility Title for their females. NAPPA commends these breeders.
While other clubs may use their own breed registry NAPPA uses the North
American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) registry and testing
system. The American Field registry is also used by some NAPPA breeders.
The NAVHDA testing system successfully removes any breeder bias by
using an independent three judge system to evaluate and score tested dogs.
