"Peek-a-boo Munsterlander"

Not sure who the legs are? but think the dog is one of Ali's? Diva or Prima? Just love the pic - taken by Vicky at Bath.

"Caz and her Munsterlanders"


Caz Trowsdale and two of her Munsterlanders at Bath last Saturday. Vicky went to the show, with her camera, and Caz kindly stood her youngster up, out of the ring, for a "photo call". Oska, is "captured" in the ring. Vicky - you can learn a lot about showing from Caz!!! One of the best handlers in the ring, and she loves her dogs!!!!

"Munsterlander in - and out - of the ring"


James Cobbledick and his girl - Prima (I think!) - no matter, in or out of the ring - and the two clearly have a bond, and I like that!!!

"Show Munsterlander"


I love these two pics, taken and sent to me by Vicky. They show Carol Saunders and Jasper (Tanzenbach Chevalier) in the ring at Bath. First pic Carol is obviously having a laugh with a fellow competitor (lovely bit of sportsmanship!!) then turns to pay attention to "the correct presentation" either way - she wins with me!!!

"Naughty Munsterlander"

This is John Thorn's Theo again, seems to be a big dog with a talent for getting into, or under, things - to get what he wants - or to try and hide the evidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love the expression.
He is "naughty - but nice!!"

"Intelligent Munsterlander"

This is John Thorns dog, Theo, proving "where this is a will there is a way" - and most munsters will find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Sweet Munsterlander"

This is Sweet Maggie May (altho think the original Maggie May may not have been "sweet"!)
This is one of owner Karens favourite pictures of Maggie, it was taken a couple of weeks ago. Karen loves the way her white whiskers stand out. She is asking to get up onto her knee, which apparently she did once the photo was taken! Hope you all like it.

"Or ask a Munsterlander to sit!"

This is Prima, belonging to Ali and the Blitzans, (or is that James and the Blitzans?) either way the point is - teach them young!! Prima demonstrates a sit/stay!!! Munsters do need training!!

"Let sleeping Munsterlanders lie"

This lovely photo came in from Sarah today. It was taken earlier this week, one of the dogs duvets was drying in the chair in the conservatory, Kaia decided it was very comfy. Makes a lovely photo though, with the white background. Happy to use this one for Daily Dog today, doesn't she look sweet?

"Not so snoozee now"

Feel have to protect Zeb's reputation, he can do "active" and cold, deep water!! but he just likes his comfort!! He is 9 and a half years old now, still takes, and hides, stuff in the garden, still pulls like a train on the lead, still walks at least 3 and a half miles around the block every day, and sleeps on my bed - oh what a hard life!!!

"Snoozeeeeeeeeee dog"

This is my Zeb, enjoying the jacuzzi at the hydrotherapy pool. Lana has to go to hydrotherapy at the moment, due to injury, unfortunately, no jacuzzi at the local pool - but then - Zeb always has had the ability to relax........

"Munsterlander way of life"



A race around the garden, preferably carrying something, a brief lie down in the shade, and then - search out the water, any water will do!! Not sure if the "white one" is the same white one in all the pictures, but - no matter - is just typical munster behaviour!! These dogs all belong to Ali Cobbledick and the Blitzan family.

"Munsterlander with her new family!"



This is Lia, sister to Curtis, who through no fault of her own ended up looking for a new home last year and she found one almost immediately! She's now settled in well with Clay & Fan and their 2 children Phoebe & Max and looks to be thoroughly adored by all.

"Munsterlander Cross GWP puppies"


I make no apologies for advertising these lovely puppies on Daily Dog, they have not got a home yet, through no fault of their own - so - please look at them, and ask around........ there are 3 left, 2 boys and 1 girl, the darkest one is a girl - as you can see!!! Anyone interested contact me on elle@ellebanks7.wanadoo.co.uk and I will forward it on to Sarah.

"Munsterlanders at the seaside"




These photos are from Fiona, from a recent family holiday. This is a sequence showing Otter retrieving his ball (with Demo watching from a safe distance). You have to look quite carefully to see Otter and in one of them he is completely submerged below the wave. (Clearly Otter by name and Otter by nature!!!)

"Beautiful Munsterlander Puppies"

"Never too young Munsterlander"

Kaia, belonging to Sarah and family, proving you are never too young to follow your instincts!!!
A gundog in the making? Sarah is a first time Munster owner and I am sure Kaia will soon have her trained ;-)

"Triumphant Munsterlander"

This is Fynn, or maybe we should call him Flying Fynn - (see update blog for more details!) Fynn is proudly owned by Kerry and Paul. Maybe should have used the headline "Fynn Flies the Flyball Flag!" but - bit of a phrase to get head around in the mornings!!!.....................

"Munsterlander by Popular Demand"


Get so many requests for Christine's pics, in particular pics of Christine's Curtis - so here he is - and just to be sure we have his "best side" we have both sides!!! Taken on a walk yesterday, beautiful spring scenery and the ever handsome boy.

"Munsterlander Cross Puppies"

What glorious puppies, playing outside in the sun, but they face a bit of an uncertain future, as now eight week old and no homes to go to! Personally love the little brown one (think is a bitch) but cannot offer her a permanent home - do you know of anyone who can? dogs and bitches available. please contact elle@ellebanks7.wanadoo.co.uk and I will pass your details on. I must stress this was an unexpected and unplanned situation, I would never advocate outcrosses for the hell of it!!!! (because of difficulties in finding right homes!!)

"Beautiful Munsterlander Boy"

Had a bit of trouble with this pic., the "wrong format" and was not accepted, but worth the wait to get it "fixed". This is Bruce, belonging to Lynn Hankinsson, a lovely boy and beloved family pet. Seems very intent on something in the distance!

"Small meets Large Munsterlander"

This is Bodica, the Small Munsterlander meeting Kaia the Large Munsterlander puppy for the first time!! Suzanne, owner of Bodie took the picture at training class, Sarah gave permission for it to be used. Funnily enough have today had an enquiry for a brown munster!! Have to admit do love Bodicas coat colouring............

"Happy Munster"

Not a technically brilliant photo - but can still see the expression on this lovely dogs face - this is Zak, owned by Russ and Brenda. He seems to be having a wonderful time, and that is the whole point of Daily dog - it is a celebration of munsterlander ownership - not for what the dog can "do" for you, (be it in showring or field), but what you can do with, and for, your dog! ENJOY them.......................
