Breed History / Description
The Large Munsterlander was developed on the same root stock as the German Long Haired Pointer but selective breeding embedded the black/white colour as the breed's hallmark. He is an excellent versatile gundog. The first breed club was founded in Germany in 1919 and the breed was recognised by the Kennel Club in 1971.
