Large Münsterlander History

The Large Münsterlander, as the name suggests, originates from the Münster region of Germany in the early 1900s. They are a fine hunting dog, having descended from the German Longhaired Pointer, to which both the Gordon Setter and Irish Setter were bred in the 1850s to refine the breed.

The Large Münsterlander became a recognised breed in its own right in 1919 in Germany, and has since spread globally in small numbers driven by the devotion of dedicated breeders.
