Brian,
I have had the small munsterlanders in my family for about 15 years. Living in Minnesota they have hunted phesant, grouse, woodcock, ducks and geese. They also have hunted on the great plains for huns and sharptail as well as quail in Ks & Mo. They are great family dogs. They are a versatile dog rather than a specialist. As for training I run mine on wild birds and do not do much with planted birds. If you test a pup with NAVHDA there will be some plants and they will want to see the dogs desire and like to see the dog take the bird out. If you google the small munsterlander of north america the north american club will come up with a lot of info on the dogs as well as approved breeding of the litters. If you want a dog that will be your buddy you won't go wrong with a munster. I might add that do your homework on the pointing of the parents.
