The Large Munsterlander like its small representative, the Small Munsterlander, is related close to the French Epagneul Francais. In the environment of Munster it was developed and used as German Sheperd aswell as hunting dog until the end of the 19th century. But the Large Munsterlander is not spread very widely. Most of the huntsmen prefer the German Roughhaired (Deutsch Drahthaar) as prototype of a pointer. Today the Large Munsterlander is mainly a dog for company because it has a very soft nature.
