About Us - got hay?

Welcome!

We are bird hunters who hunt both upland and waterfowl with Large Munsterlanders.  We ONLY breed 'upper level' Hunt Tested Large Munsterlanders.  Because we only select finished guns dogs to breed, our litters are only available every few years.
 
Bred to hunt, our dogs are sold to qualified Bird Hunting Homes only.
 
Our next litter is due to whelp mid May 2008! (See Upcoming Litter link on left for more details.)

The Large Munsterlander
The 'LM' is a continental versatile hunting dog.  A German decendent of the Longhaired Pointer,  the breed gained recognition in the early 1900's.  With medium length coat and webbed feet, they are great pointers, retrievers and swimmers.  They are a gentle dog with energy and prefer living in the master's dwelling.

Hunting, just like life, can be an uncertain journey.  We hope that every hunting trip is filled with limits of birds and sunny skies, but that is not always the case.  You learn to treasure and appreciate those days where bags full of game are falling from those sunny skies, especially when the week before your dog returned with a beard full of porcupine quills and the only thing falling from the sky was rain.  But it's all worth it.  Even those rough days have moments of why we go hunting; The adventure, the action, the grand landscapes, and the time spent with good friends.

We have found a truly great partner to help us enjoy our adventures and that is the Large Munsterlander Pointer.  The Large Munsterlander (LM's) that we have had the priviledge to hunt with and own have proven to be superior hunting dogs on both land and water.  The LM may come in an attractive coat, but dont let that fool you about the tough dog under the coat.  When the chips were down, conditions almost unbearable and birds scarce, our LM's have proven how tough and successful a dog can be.

We named our kennel MUDDY WATERS to reflect how we feel about this wonderful breed.  Sometimes your hunting journey can be filled with porcupine quills, soggy skies and muddy water, but a LM will still have a good day!
