I don’t have any personal experience with English Setters or Muensterlanders. The Muensterlander sounds interesting to me, based on hunting Partridge and Woodcock in NH and ME. We have a 2 year old English Springer who has shown great promise in two seasons of hunting. He’s a great family dog as well. A flushing dog seems to be ideal where we are. Previous dog was a GSP I got when stationed in Washington state in another lifetime…an awesome dog but really too big a running dog for the Partridge woods. He was dynamite in South Dakota and on Ptarmigan in Northern Quebec…. For a lot of reasons, great hunting, excellent family dog, smaller size, I’ve been very happy with our Springer.
Best of luck in your search! I’m sure that you’ll find a great companion with either breed.
