How to Identify a Large Munsterlander

Large Munsterlanders originated in Germany and are descendants of hawking and bird particolored dogs, which were used during the Middle Ages. [1] Even though they share a few characteristics with other dog breeds, they have several characteristics which are unique to them. This wikiHow will help you figure out whether or not a dog is a Large Munsterlander.

Method 1 of 3:

Body Structure

  1. Large Munsterlanders are typically anywhere from 23 to 25.5 inches (58 to 65 cm) tall, and they usually weigh somewhere between 50 to 70 pounds (23 to 32 kg). [2]
  2. Large Munsterlanders should have a relatively wide skull that is also long and has a stop with a medium amount to it. The dog should have a strong muzzle that is also long, and you should also notice that the dog's underjaw is developed well. [3]

  3. Large Munsterlanders should have high-set ears with bases that are broad. The dog should carry their ears near their head, and you should also notice that, going towards their tips, the dog's ears taper. [4]
  4. Large Munsterlanders should have dark brown eyes that are medium in size along with lids that fit tightly. You should not notice any haw. [5]
  5. Large Munsterlanders should have a high-set tail with a medium length that continues from the dog's topline, has a base which is strong, and tapers going towards the tail's tip. The dog should carry their tail either elevated a little or at their back's level if they are moving, and you may notice when the dog is moving that, going towards their tail's tip, the dog's tail has a gentle curve to it. [6]
  6. Overall, Large Munsterlanders should have lines which are clean and elegant and appear noticeably noble. The dog should seem to be refined and have strength as well. When the dog is trotting, their gait should be springy, with strides that are long. [7]

Coat

  1. Large Munsterlanders should have a ground coat color that is white, along with spots or patches that are black in color, though the dog may have roaning or ticking instead. You should notice that the dog's head is a solid black color, though on their forehead, you may notice a spot or blaze. [8]
  2. Large Munsterlanders should have a coat that feels dense everywhere but their head, where it should have a smooth texture. [9]
  3. Large Munsterlanders should have a long coat, though it should be short on their head. Their coat should be flat, and on their body, it should lie close. You should notice that the dog's tail, ear leather, and the back of their back and front legs are feathered well. You should also notice that the dog has taut skin. [10]

Temperament

  1. Large Munsterlanders are known to be intelligent, quite trainable dogs. [11]
  2. Large Munsterlanders are known to be loyal friendly dogs who tend to do well as companions. They usually do well with children, and, minus the animals mentioned later, most animals. [12]
  3. Large Munsterlanders will need a good amount of exercise every day, through things like games of fetch, walks, or hikes. [13]
    • If this dog does not receive the right amount of exercise, when they are by themselves in the house, they may bark or become destructive. [14]
  4. While Large Munsterlanders are usually easily trainable, their training will need to establish a clear leader, and their training should be calm, consistent, and firm. [15]
  5. While the Large Munsterlander usually does not chase things like bikes or cars, it is known to chase birds or small rodents, so this is something to be aware of. They may also attempt to attack farm animals that are small. [16]
  6. Large Munsterlanders are known to love water and retrieving things from it. [17]
