IntCH Brush Dale’s Quismat “Skeet” is a female small munsterlander whelped 1/22/22. She is a very cooperative hunter with great speed and stamina. She hunts feathers or fur with equal enthusiasm and has a very strong retrieve drive. Her “off button” has developed well as she has matured, and is comfortable at my feet, on her bed, or in her crate while in the house. She travels well in her crate whether in the cab or in the bed of my truck. 

Skeet has been genetically tested through Embark and is clear of all predictable health concerns that can be tested for in our breed. Her hips were evaluated “Excellent” through the OFA. 

Skeet conforms very well and has earned superior evaluations from five separate independent IABCA judges, each of them describing her as an excellent example of the breed. Her coat is medium dense and wavy, and she has beautiful furnishings.  

Skeet earned a maximum score of 112 on her Natural Ability test and has hunted eight species of birds in six states as well as the occasional squirrel and rabbit. 

Brush Dale’s Zealous Hunter “Covey” is a female small munsterlander whelped 5/5/24. Covey is proving to be a phenomenal dog in the field. She hunts with tremendous energy and has been pointing planted pigeons as far a twenty yards back. She swims with enthusiasm, often charging and “dock diving” into the water after a bumper or bird. Covey also tracks well and has successfully completed several short dead game drags in the yard. She’s also shown to naturally honor on a few occasions. 

Covey has been genetically testes through Embark and is genetically clear of all major health issues. 

Covey will test in IABCA when she is approximately two years old.  

She earned a maximum score of 112 on her NAVHDA Natural Ability test and also a score of 70 on her VHDF Hunting Aptitude Evaluation, including a bonus point for cooperation. The three VHDF judges commented that she was one of the sweetest, most cooperative, and reliable puppies that they had ever seen. 

Sticks and Strings Moose is an adopted Pudelpointer whelped in early December of 2018. I adopted Moose from the National German Wirehaired Pointer Rescue in January 2020. As a former stray, he was a handful for the first few months, constantly breaking through our six foot wooden fence to run free. After several months of bonding, socialization and training, Moose finally began to settle down. Moose doesn’t have a staunch point; in fact I hunted him as a flusher for a while as he preferred not to point. However, after some training Moose has begun to point very soft. It’s actually more of a “stop in the scent cone.” But, it seems to work fine for him. He’s also a great retriever over water and land.

Moose has successfully hunted several species of upland birds including ruffed grouse, sharptail grouse, pheasants, bobwhite quail, and woodcock, furbearers including rabbits and squirrels, and waterfowl. He’s also been know to dispatch nest raiders like opossums, and he absolutely hates fertile cats. He made his first wild retrieve on a shoveler that attempted to evade him by diving and swimming underwater five times. Moose’s perseverance and tenacity resulted in a successful water retrieve to hand. He’s not a breeder, but he’s my buddy. 

Sadly, Moose left us on June 26th, 2025. He was in the prime of his life at just 6 years old. He died doing what he loved best, chasing rabbits. His departure has left a deep hole in our kennel and in our family. He is sorely missed.
