From this time until the middle of the 20th Century breed selection was handled pragmatically: breeding was done above all with very good dogs, which came from the region and were known because of their hunting performance. This method had great advantages, as breeders and stud dog owners knew each other and their dogs from hunting. And so both the specific strengths and weaknesses were known, and the pairings could be coordinated accordingly.<\/p>\n
Edmund L\u00f6ns, a brother of the famous writer Hermann L\u00f6ns, was a dedicated breeder and enthusiast of the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder. He made the breed known through numerous articles in the German hunting and international press and in this way advanced the rapid spread of the breed. In 1927, he also brought brown roan to the breed, which until then recognized only brown-white dogs. A brown roan female had so impressed him with its intelligence, desire and independence that he purchased and used her as a breed dog. This color prevailed and was also officially recognized by the association as an approved color. The genetic strength of this color demonstrates itself in that nearly half of all Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder are roan.<\/p>\n
<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tEdmund L\u00f6ns und Dr. Friedrich Jungklaus hatten bis 1921 Rassemerkmale f\u00fcr die Kleinen M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder formuliert und ver\u00f6ffentlicht, welche die Grundlage f\u00fcr die weitere Zuchtentwicklung bildeten. Die Rassemerkmale und die Leistungsanforderungen wurden jedoch erst 1936 durch den Verband beschlossen und f\u00fcr l\u00e4ngere Zeit festgeschrieben.<\/p>\n
By 1921, Edmund L\u00f6ns and Dr. Friedrich Jungklaus had formulated and published the breed characteristics of the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder, which were the basis for the further development of the breed. The breed characteristics and the performance requirements were not determined by the association until 1936, however, and then codified for a longer period of time.<\/p>\n
Since the end of the 19th Century (1899) a special organization with German hunters concerned itself with the development of test regulations for versatile hunting dogs: the \u201cJGHV\u201d (Jagdgebrauchshundverband).<\/p>\n
<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tWith this organization the performance requirements of the various hunting dog breeds were defined. By this means hunting dogs could be systematically and comparably evaluated for their suitability for hunting and breeding. As early as the middle of the 19th<\/sup> Century test regulations were developed and still practiced today in England and later in the romantic countries. In these countries, however, work in the field was and still is the focus (field trials). For the use of hunting dogs in the forest, water, in the field or for retrieving, specialists were preferred in this part of Europe. And not much has changed until today.<\/p>\n In contrast to this practice, hunters in Germany were more likely to handle versatile hunting dog breeds, like the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder, for these diverse capabilities were required on most hunting grounds. Once versatility had been genetically established in these breeds, most dogs could easily specialize and be trained to excel as competitive experts in their disciplines. Since then, versatility has been a central breed attribute of the Continental pointing dog breeds and thus also of the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder Vorstehhunde. Since 1936, the JGHV test regulations have been applicable for the breeding of the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder. Until today, a successfully completed VJP (natural ability test) in the Spring and a successful HZP (advanced natural ability test) in the Fall are the indispensable prerequisites for breeding. For a select breeding, both parents of a pairing need a successfully completed VGP (association utility test) along with consideration of other details.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>
