Character
Great Munsterlander, along with the little Munsterlander and Langhaar, belong to the family of longhaired German cops, whose planned breeding began at the end of the 19th century. Moreover, until 1909, Munsterlander was considered one of the varieties of Langhaar. However, at some point, the breeders from the club of German long-haired dogs began to reject black animals from tribal dilution. The breed could disappear if it were not for the “Club of Munsterlanders”, which took responsibility for breeding black and white dogs founded in 1919.
Big Münsterlander is considered a universal breed, although its specialization is bird hunting (this is a girlfriend). The hunters themselves especially appreciate these animals for their easy trainability and obedience.
Representatives of the breed make pleasant students, attentive and quick-witted. The main thing is to find an approach to the pet.
