We got our first Large Munsterlander, Sunnynook's Islay, in 1993. We fell in love with the breed and their versatile hunting abilities. Our current dogs are our 4th, 5th & 6th LMs and they have turned out to be the ideal breed for us.
Both of us are falconers and our dogs are trained to work with us and the falcons we fly in hunting situations. We fly the falcons on both ducks and upland game birds, so the dogs must be willing to work both on land and in water. They must be able to hunt a field and point and hold; they must flush on command; they must be able to track wounded game; and they must be willing retrievers. All of this and they must be willing to cooperate with and respect the falcon on the ground. Lynn with Prairie Sky’s Bratwurst on his right and Prairie Sky’s Aloe on his left.

We have found the breed to be very trainable, cooperative and willing to please as well as being intelligent and able to figure out how to handle situations they may not previously have been faced with. From late August to mid-December most years, our dogs are out almost daily with falconer and falcon. Rhonda with Prairie Sky's Bratwurst on her right, Prairie Sky's Aloe left.

Currently Sunnynook's Balsam, Prairie Sky's Aloe and Prairie Sky's Bratwurst live with Rhonda & Lynn. They also share their house with 3 cats and the falcons they raise. Prairie Sky’s Aloe & Prairie Sky’s Bratwurst are from our A and B litters respectively. |
