After a long hike or an hour of active play, the Large Munsterlander will likely take a nap or chew quietly on a toy. However, this dog forms tight, affectionate bonds with family members and doesn’t appreciate being left alone.

Things You Should Know

The Large Munsterlander can live as long as 12 years with relatively few health issues. However, some may develop hip dysplasia. Grooming the Munsterlander is easy: Just brush its coat every few days and check its ears and eyes for signs of infection. Longer coats will need to be brushed more often—especially during spring and fall shedding seasons.

Both Small and Large Munsterlanders are decent-sized dogs with a love for the outdoors. Apartment living might not suit them. A home with easy access to a fenced yard is ideal. Daily walks are essential, but time off the leash is also recommended. The Munsterlander loves to hike and explore.
