We own two Large Munsterlanders. We researched carefully before selecting this breed. Not only are they very beautiful versatile dogs, but they are awesome hunters. We chose the LM because of the history behind the breed and the fact that LM's have their own registry and our bred by hunters for hunt...

demi

Ditto: AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time to share the pics and the story.

I also love the pic of Cash retrieving in the snow--great shot!

I just bought three more K9 Comfort Collars, all different colors, of course. I guess I like my girls to make a bit of fashion statement. :wink: I can't wait to see Meeka in her new pink collar on Christmas morning! I have leather collars for most of the time, but when we are hunting/training/swimmi...

demi

The new pup hopes I win!!!
She has heard some sad stories from the first one, and all the mistakes I made.

demi

Oh man, so sorry to hear about Dutchess. I know how much you loved her and she loved you back. I am so, so, sorry. Miss Desi says thank you for the ear rub, and sends a lick back. Your wife is a good one to find you another friend to hunt with. :) I think your plan sounds like a good one. There have...

demi

Glad to hear you took her along and things went well...It sounds like she did good for her age. My pup is 5 1/2 months and we have had her out hunting nearly every weekend. I saw lots of the same puppy behavior prior to this last weekend. She would hunt a little and then find the other dog and look ...

demi

Hi JR! Welcome back and congrats on the new pup! She looks awesome. :) Lots of good days ahead for you and the pup! We have added another Snowy Oaks LM to our home...She is 5 1/2 months old and doing awesome. We have been out hunting with her and Desi nearly every weekend during hunting season. She ...

demi

Lots of good advice has already been given, but I would bring her along. It will be a great opportunity to get her on birds, but take into consideration of the things that have been said. A lot of what you would do with the pup depends on the type of hunting, cover and what your pup is like... I've ...

demi

Thanks, Courtney. My apologizes for saying GL, rather than Deutsch Langhaar. I didn't know that the GLPCNA had applied for AKC recognition. Not good, IMO. Yes, we do have a new female Snowy Oaks pup, Meeka, whelped on 5/15. I am really looking forward to working and hunting with her. She and Desi wi...

demi

Courtney, It is always fun to see pictures of your GLs and read your posts. Your pup is beautiful!! Dennis M worked hard and nearly convinced me to switch to the "brown side", but I had already made up my mind for our next pup, and have no regrets staying with the LM. At one time the choice was betw...

demi

"By the way, my understanding is that the Large Munsterlander is a breed that split off from the GLP or DL because the latter's breed club decided to eliminate the black coat color. So the fanciers of the black in the coat of their DLs started their own breed, Large Munsterlander. To this day, the ...

demi

Congratulations on the healthy litter of puppies! Kudos to Silka

They are verrry tempting....they will be awesome hunting companions to some lucky people!

demi

You could always try to buy them their own chair

demi

Congratulations to the winners! Totally awesome pictures. I could look at either pic all day long, and certainly a glance at a calendar with these pics would bring a smile. Great job, Rob and crew.

demi

Thanks, JR. It was quite a suprise to see my girl on the cover.

I don't think I haved shared the pic I submitted to Navhda, so for those that don't receive the magazine, here is the picture used on the cover.

demi

Lots of AWESOME Pics! Great looking dogs out doing what they love to do. Doesn't get much better than that!

If I were judging, I'd have to do the "eenie, meenie, miney, mo" thing.

demi

Our GSP is 11 1/2, and this summer was the first time that we noticed that he is staring to slow down and is getting gray. The heat and humidity bothered him this summer, but cold hasn't slowed him down much. We still hunt him, but not as much as we used to. He's a big guy at 80 pounds, and he too l...

Here are a couple of my favorites.

Hi WhiskeyJar, Great Pics! Let me know if you need the email address to submit those for next year's LM Calendar! I love, love, love, looking at pics. :D Here's a few more... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/llrothen/100_3102.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/llrothen/cute.jpg http://i5...

demi

So sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing and educating us. I will be more careful about waiting longer to feed after hunting. Another dog never replaces the ones we lose...but it may help with the healing and moving on. I've been in your shoes with saying goodbye to a good dog way too soon, and re...

demi

Ah, such a tease with all those great pics! Sure is tempting.... :wink: :D The LMCNA does not require hardness testing either. No problem with desire and my Desi. She has dispatched her fair share of fur, feather, and waterfowl out in the field, and scored an 11 in desire in the Versatile Hunting Do...

demi

The only GLP's I have seen were from Corashatten, very nice dogs! If I were to go with a different breed next time, I would get a GLP from this kennel. I think they have some pups planned for next spring. Did you know that the Large Munsterlander is a color variation of the German Longhaired Pointer...

demi

I bought the Cabellas vest this summer and used it on opening weekend for the first time. I LOVE it! She was so much easier to see. I didn't leave it on her all day as it warm, but I missed it when she wasn't wearing it. I think I shared this pic a few weeks ago, and I don't have the vest properly f...

demi

I would be ok with it--as long as rules are explained first. But, I do that anytime I hunt my dog with a group a adults.

demi

Safe travels to you. Wow--that's one long drive! Weather is still looking good, but they are now saying strong southerly winds...I'll be about 50 miles south of you. If you happen to hear some shouts of joy--that would probably me celebrating my first hit of the season. :D Good luck and have a great...

demi

Aw, Dutchess! I think we looked--can't remember if she is related to Miss Desi...but, I came home the other night after shooting clay pigeons...oh boy was she mad to learn that I was out shooting the gun without her. And to add to the insult, last Sunday I went on a hay ride past some CRP and ponds ...

demi

What a bummer for the Setter--next year! I looked ahead at the weather forecast, partly cloudy and mid 60's for the big opening weekend. It's always a welcome sight for me to see the trucks and dog trailers, camouflage boats, and today I saw a few orange hats. The resident opener on public land is t...

demi

Great pics! Thanks for sharing them.

I'm guessing the Munsterlanders were Small ones?

I aree, that is a very cute Setter pup!

demi

Just curious, why doesn't the Setter get to come? He/she would have a great time, and look good here in South Dakota.

demi

I feed Nutri-Source to our GSP, and love the food, big difference in the stools as compared to other food. He's 12 years old, weighs about 75 pounds, and still acts like a young pup. I buy the food at a local feed store and pay something like $30 for the 40lb bag of Lamb & Rice. He usually gets the ...

I'm in Southeast SD, a couple of hours south of Huron. Weather this fall has been awesome, warm days and cool nights, just the way it should be. Not much rain except last night when we received 2.75 inches of rain, not sure what they got in the Huron area though. We shouldn't have the standing water...

demi

I bought this one from Cabellas this summer--haven't used it yet, but the the quality is very good.

Mars Petcare U.S. has announced a voluntary recall of some of its pet-food products. The recall cites potential salmonella contamination. It involves all dry pet-food produced at its plant in Everson, Pennsylvania, between February 18th and July 29th. The company's news release doesn't say how much ...

Thanks for starting this, Don. I enjoy then and now pics.

Hey Whiskey Jar, 58 points is passing, if she would have swam for you--add 20 points to the 74 and that's a 94. That's puts you in a Prize II, depending on having high enough individual scores..

The title of this thread gave me visions of dogs sitting around the pool dipping their treats/cookies in some new health dip. :roll:

Is it 5:00 yet?!

demi

Thanks for posting this. I received my card in the mail today and probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it. I will be at Cabella's this weekend doing some dog demonstrations with a NAVHDA club. Hootie Hoo--now I get to do some shopping too! I don't see why a person couldn't get their card ac...

demi

Three cheers for Dutchess!!! (And you, for your perseverance!) So, so happy for you!
Hootie Hoo!

Before you know it, she'll be jumpin off the docks like Miss Desi.

I recently ordered leather collars from gundogsupply: http://www.gundogsupply.com/huncolleat.html I ordered both the field grade collar for 5.95 and the leather collar for 18.50. Both are nice collars, I can get a photo of them both side by side, but the leather collar is much nicer and worth every ...

demi

Ooops, I sent you a PM that I didn't have them yet, but I found them. Thanks!

demi

Hmmm, the things I learn! I will never, ever again feel bad for the pigeons being shot at the time ...they have it better than I do.

Nice pic on your avatar WhiskeyJar. It would look nice on a calendar, I think.

Let me know if you need the email address to send it to..

demi

Progress sounds good, Whiskey Jar. I always thought the biggest challenge was finding the training method that worked for me and my dog... What worked, and was right for other people, didn't always work for me, especaially if it meant applying a lot of pressure, so if the clicker and treats work for...

demi

Hi JR! Dang females. :wink: Does Dutchess reach for the bumper when it's in front of her without pressure? If not, you'll need to go back to the beginning with hold command like Greg is talking about. I'm no expert either, and I was awful at the ear pinching thing...once was enough for me. :wink: To...

demi

Howie, the host for the test was Autum Breeze Kennels owned by Ed Erickson. I think the same grounds will be used for the fall test. Here's a pic of her on point during the evaluation--bird is out of the pic to the left. Lots of open space for field work and a great pond for water work. http://i5.ph...

demi

Thanks for welcome. The first pheasant is the one that always tastes the best! Nice looking GSP's, Howie! Not sure about the Invitational testing, she's a natural backer so we shall see. Sometimes it comes down to the expense of things... We tested the VHDF in Minneapolis. Awesome grounds and I real...

Hi! I'm Demi, well actually Lori...you can call me either, just don't call me late for opening day! :wink: We are in southeast South Dakota-- pheasant country . :D We have two hunting dogs, an 11-year old GSP that is offically the hubby's dog, and a three-year old Large Munsterlander, Desi. Desi is ...

Large Munsterlander. It's more fun to hunt behind a pretty dog :D She's got it all, awesome in the field, water and home. NAVHDA UT Prize I, VHDF AHAE 177 Points. Loves nothing more than to be out hunting pheasants here in South Dakota. :lol: Hi Dennmore--I made sure I got my vote in right spot! htt...
