Iâm driving to Brookings, South Dakota to pick up a puppy. At age 70 I wondered why Iâm getting a puppy. Then I heard that another young man aged 78 from Appleton is getting a puppy from the same breeder. Iâm transporting his dog halfway to his home by bringing it to my place. My friends are wondering why I need to buy a dog since Iâve been raising great dogs since 1973. The answer is simple. I raised retrievers and flushers, I want a pointer.
I decided to get a Small Munsterlander. According to the AKC, the breed was developed in the area of Munster, Germany. Theyâre described as a natural retriever with medium range, solid pointing instinct and a strong desire for the water. These traits are enhanced by high intelligence and trainability. They are highly suitable for family life and have a high predatory instinct. They are also well suited for retrieving, agility trials, hunting tests and trials.
