By now you have interviewed a number of breeders, and from each one you have learned more about the Small Munsterlander, about the different bloodlines, and breeding philosophies. Select a breeder that is breeding the kind of Small Munsterlander that you want to own. One who actively participates in your area of interest and will best be able to evaluate the specific traits in the litter and select the best puppy for you. In addition, they will be best able to help you to develop your puppy for your chosen area(s) of interest. You will both be well ahead. Finally, use your instincts. If you do not feel comfortable dealing with a certain breeder, follow your intuition. The relationship is going to be a long one, lasting the life of your Small Munsterlander, and perhaps beyond.
