popularity

The Small Münsterländer is a rare race in the USA that numbers approximately 2000, and demand from hunters goes beyond the number of dogs available. They are especially difficult for non-chasers and must be checked on site and keep an updated health profile regardless of the need for their dog. In addition to their numbers, they are raised, trained and tested according to rigorous standards to keep outstanding flexibility in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and the Czech Republic.

Because of the very low frequency and the high requirements of race organisations, kennels and owners with a strong dedication to race health, the race programs in breeding dogs are extremely selective and need clean OFA/Penn Hip, CERF and temperament. Congenital illnesses and disorders are therefore exceedingly low.

The breed is still less common in the United Kingdom. The Kennel Club was recognized by the hunting community as an imported breed in 2006.

The Small Münsterländer possesses outstanding close search and pointing drive to this day. With the enactment of the Weimar Constitution on 11 August 1919, all the rights and immunities of the German aristocracy as legal class were abolished;All Germans recognized before their country's laws as equal. The hunting was becoming more popular as a retriever that functioned equally well in the field and on water, thanks to the increasing accessibility of firearms and land for ordinary people. In all phases of hunt, this breed is regarded to be exceptional in its efficient work as a team, together with a sheep herder and a border collie working closely together.

The little cities of Münsterland, from Munster, Germany, but not the Large City countries, are considered to be well over 500 years old and have evidence of their forebears in the 13th and 14th centuries. By the 1800s, the race had darkened. Little known were the little Munsterlanders,Held on farms surrounding Munster by certain families. The few dogs that were bred for a half century were mostly friends, employed to feed the family instead of sports. For about a half century. It gained a local reputation as a dog when the success or failure of a hunter depended if his family could feed enough.

Its excellent home personality was the successful outcome of the compañero phase of the Small Münsterländer history. The change in the use of culture and wildlife puts an end to "bread hunting" and has been replaced by recreational hunting.. Falconry has also become outdated with the progress in weapons. Edmund Lons, brother of the great hunting poet Hermann Lon and nature poet, found Small Münsterländers in two cities in Northern Sachsen around the turn of the century. Lons got two lines of dogs. One line consisted of beautiful, agile, active and smart canines, recognized for the track sound. The other dogs were slow in search, built up strongly and used the nose brilliantly. For several generations, the background and breeding of these dogs could be tracked.
