About

What is a Large Munsterlander?

Versatile medium to large German pointing and retrieving dog with distinctive black and white coat and feathering, known for its noble appearance and athletic build

Large Munsterlander history and origins

Originated in the Münster region of Germany in the early 1900s, developed from the black and white offspring of German Longhaired Pointers and continental pointers and spaniels. When the German Longhaired Pointer standard was set to only allow liver and white, dedicated breeders preserved and developed the black and white variety into today's versatile hunting dog.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · Large Munsterlander

Pelo y color

Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar.

Coat

Long and dense, yet sleek and not curly or stand off as this hinders hunting ability.

Typical long-hair.

The coat must be specially long and dense on backs of front and hind legs (well feathered) in both dogs and bitches.

Also on the tail the hair must be particularly long.

The strongest tail feathering should be in the medium part of its length.

Hair on ears should be long (good fringes) and reach clearly and evenly over the tip of the ears (leather ends of ears not desirable).

Hair on head is short and smooth

Color

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» y «disqualifying» — preferido, admisible, indeseable y descalificante — son las palabras de la propia FCI sobre la raza, y quedan en inglés porque así constan en el estándar. Describen lo que el estándar pide — no son una valoración de ningún perro concreto, ni nuestra.

Color de base

White with black patches and spots, blue roan or pure black

  • The head is always black, possibly with a white snip or blaze

La FCI distingue un ideal de lo que está permitido.

Quoted from FCI standard n°118. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

Lo que el estándar penaliza

Aquello por lo que un juez resta puntos a la raza Large Munsterlander, y lo que la deja fuera del ring, en las palabras del propio registro. Esto describe el estándar de la raza — no es una lista de comprobación para el animal que tienes delante, y un animal de compañía con un defecto descalificante es un perro que no puede ir a exposición, no un perro enfermo.

Defectos descalificantes

Dejan al animal fuera del ring por completo.

  • Pale nose leather.
  • Entropion, ectropion.
  • Overshot or undershot mouth, wry mouth; missing incisors or canines, missing molars and premolars (except 2 PM1 or 1 M3).
  • Colours which do not conform to the breed standard.
  • Dogs over- or under-sized.
  • Gun shy or gun-sensitive in any degree. Shyness of living game, fear biter, fears of strangers

Health guide

What to ask for in a Large Munsterlander

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Large Munsterlander on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Large Munsterlander breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
