"Hans...the First Versatile Small Munsterlander Champion in North America!"

( for "Hans Photo Gallery" click here)

          
   

Hans ( Andreas V O'Meara/Sengpiel ) is our eleven year old male Small Munsterlander. He is now retired and his sperm is available in two locations. ( For more information contact Dave & Irene Thun Click here ) He is one of the most beautifully bone structured Small Munsterlander with a full block face and a long feathered tail. His structure is that of a work horse and his desire never allows him to quit in the field or pursuing a downed duck in the swamp. Hans has hunted from the great grasslands of South Dakota and Nebraska for shaptails, prairie chickens and pheasants to Canada for ducks and grouse.

  NOTE:

It is with a very heavy heart that we no longer have our Hans. Hans was put to rest on May 28th 2006 due to his back injury which he was having problems with for the past 2 years.
Hans was a dog that will NEVER be replaced. He was truly a GREAT hunting companion, and household pet! Hans has done more for his breed, and even more for Dave and I than we ever could have hoped for! He was one of a kind. As I write this message we are still missing him dearly. Hans has changed our home and lives because he was so much a part of our everyday life.

We still have our Emma and she will be 7 in November and is doing very well! We are looking forward to starting over with a new pup in the furture and hopefully we can do the same for him.
