In this work, we study the canal surfaces foliated by pseudo spheres S12 along a Frenet curve in terms of their Gauss maps in Minkowski 3-space. Such kind of surfaces with pointwise 1-type Gauss maps are classified completely. For example, the canal surface with proper pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind if and only if it is a part of a minimal surface of revolution.
