I would never have dreamed sixty years ago when I first started hunting that I would be able to share pictures, lineage, and experience through cyberspace. People in the area know that I enjoy working with dogs and hunting. When they ask about which breed I hunt, I answer with SMALL MUNSTERLANDERS. The follow-up question most often asked is, "Would you repeat that?" When I do, they ask what kind of breed is that? I understand the question because about twelve years ago I would have asked the same question. Briefly, I've hunted many different breeds over the years. I started with retriever breeds and then went to pointing breeds about 25 years ago. I got interested in SMALL MUNSTERLANDERS about 12 years ago and bought a pup. After training him, I bought a female and retrained her to fit my needs. I liked the breed so well that I sold all of my other hunting stock and have been hunting SMALL MUNSTERLANDERS ever since. During the past 10 years I have trained and hunted several Munsterlanders. During this time I have kept only those individual dogs that consistently demonstrated qualities that I perceive to be most important in a quality hunting dog. Additionally, I have planned breedings so that I have adequate training prospects. While some individual dogs are better than others, the commonalities I looked for included: Superior Tracking Ability Excellent In Water High Adaptability To Various Terrains Strong Marking Instincts Great Personalities And Stable Temperament Intense and Stylish Point
