Hi Peter,

You didn't take a bite at my lure but you certainly took a swirl at it Exclamation

I think I can read between the lines pretty well on this one! Best of luck on your crusade.

Up to present I haven't noticed a queue of would be Munsty trainers forming up at my door or that of any other trainer. Shocked

It looks like I will reuctantly have to write them off and consign them to the showdogs toybox.

Hi Bill, we would love if you would organise something for us scottish munster owners. we are a friendly bunch and love a chnace to learn. As it is not our thing we find it a bit daunting to do gundog work as at really kc events you have to be really good and we are all beginners but very keen to learn as are our dogs. We have a lot of dogs up here related to the raycris lines so we know they have it in them. Any help always appreciated.

Hi,
I'd be delighted to help if I can, I'm retired so I can usually be available. Just let me know where and when would suit you and I'll do my best to fit in.
If we can get something arranged I would like each handler to bring one dummy and a whistle and a lead. Nothing else is needed at this stage other than enthusiasm, yours and the dogs.

If I have to travel I will require petrol money but nothing else, I'd like to do it completely for nothing but I can't on a Post Office pension!

See you soon I hope.

Bill,

I have PM'd you.

As to the LM in North America. I have an interest in the breed worldwide and was for a number of years a member of the LMCNA and have in my Munster collection the 20th anniversary book. Joe (Schmutz) is always a genuinely helpful guy in response to my emails about all connected subjects.

However I have to say HD is not eradicated in NA. Probably only about half the imports to that country have met their breeding requirements and cases of HD are there as well as ED and entropian.

Hi all. my first time on here so please be kind!

Those of us who own and breed munsters in Scotland do try to make sure that the dogs are capable of being able to work as well as show/agility/obedience........... They are a multi purpose breed that will give you back as much, if not more, than you put into them. The problem that I am finding is that the local estates don't want untrained dogs on their property and not many farmers are willing to let you go out onto their land either. I would love to train my dogs. My first munster was bought primarily as a working bitch, bought to replace Spaniels. I still try to make sure that any I breed from still have a strong working ability, even though I don't work them. Wish I did. My latest litter come from strong working lines. Yes, I show them, but only for fun. I would much rather be out in the field with them. Any help would be extremely welcome.

I had hoped to be at the Nat Ap last weekend but I can't leave the puppies alone at home. They will be 8 weeks old on Tuesday and will start going to their new homes soon. Crying or Very sad

Maybe next year...

Linda

You're unlikely to get a better offer than Bill's if you are serious about training them to work.

I have to say............

........and surprised it didn't dawn on me until now. Actually a Munster bred in Scotland has had WT places including a 4th at the GWPC WT & a 1st at the LMC WT (Both times in Novice) a couple of years ago. The dog is Jagerreh Constance bred by myself (I'm English though does this count? Wink

) but she lives in Surrey (So again does this count??) but she was definitely bred in Scotland! Very Happy
