could any munster breeders / owners who would like to talk about thier breed please reply to this as one of my very good friends (x-vet nurse) would like to find out as much as possible as she is looking to give one a home next year if she can find out as much as possible about them. She is finding it very hard to colate information about them.
Many thanks

Could it be me Ali????? St Lily of Munster????? ;)

Hi Scatty,

If you let me know what part of the country you are in, I will do my best to locate a breeder around that area you can contact. You can email me privately if you want, just click my name in blue and my email address will appear!

Pro's: Friendly, intelligent, active, attractive, great with kids, loving etc...

Con's: Can be noisy, love water-the dirtier the better, not good kennel dogs, some can be destructive (Although I think all breeds could be this way?), when they moult that b&w hair gets everywhere! As they are very dual-purpose still, they will hunt and can catch rabbits etc. so be prepared for that! Some can take their time to adjust to cats in the house too.

There can only be 1 Saint Lily of Munster ;) :D :D

Of course I meant you :D

Thank you Ali, 16 days into 2003 and the halo has yet to slip!!!!!! ;)

Hi Scatty, I can send your friend an information leaflet that's produced by the Large Munsterlander Club of Great Britain. Would that be any help? Also I recommned your friend sees some Munsters in action. I'm sure there will be someone in her area who will be happy to help. Good Luck, Eurochick

Can I ask why brown Munsterlanders are culled, when in small Munsterlanders they are perfectly acceptable.
Dawn.

Brown Munsters are rarely culled nowadays because there is a ready market for them from people wanting the Munsters looks but who are not bothered about lack of KC registration papers.

There are a few lines within the breed that carry the brown gene, it is indicative of the fact that Munsters were actually black & white German Long Haired Pointers before the Germans became colour conscious.

Also cross matings within Germany in the 1970's between Munsters & GLP's have introduced the brown gene back into the breeding lines.

Thanks for that. The best working one I know is brown.
Dawn.

Hi Dawn,

Would be interested to know where this brown one was from?

Small Munsters although sharing a similar name, share very little common ancestry with the Large Munsterlanders. Munsterlander basically indicates the region of Germany that the breed evolved from. Small (Kleiner) Munsterlanders will always be brown & white.

Large Munsterlanders are b&w GLP's and had it not been that the Germans thought b&w not so pure as brown & white, Munsters would stil have been GLP's. Because br&w to br&w only breeds br&w, this was more "pure", as b&w to b&w can produce brown pups!

Hi Dawn, small Munsterlanders only come in brown and white.
