| Character | The Large Munsterlander is an extremely versatile and intelligent hunting dog that stands out for its close bond with its owner. | High-energy, fiercely loyal, and emotionally intense: the Weimaraner bonds deeply to its primary person and is prone to severe separation anxiety when left alone for long periods. Bred for all-day hunting, it needs at least two hours of vigorous exercise daily plus mental stimulation. Not suitable for first-time owners or households where the dog would be alone all day. |
