Appearance and coat

Powerful and muscular yet tall and clean in outline, it is a versatile gundog particularly associated with work after the shot. It remains distinct from the Small Munsterlander.

Coat and comparisons

JKC specifies white with black patches or blue roan, with a predominantly black head allowing limited white or a blaze. Large patches differ from the finer intermixture of roan.
