She also has a strong desire to please, and wants to be part of anything you are doing. This leads me to her field work. She has great use of nose. She is outstanding at using the air, but also has great tracking ability. Allowing her to locate and point birds effectively. She also has a love of the water. Making her love of waterfowl shine. Pine is an outstanding all-around dog. She is just one of those dogs that makes you smile no matter what she is doing.

Lovec - (Lovec: Czech for hunter, being Lovec’s sire is a Czech import), was whelped at Brush Dale on 2/28/19 as part of the CC litter. Lovec’s sire is IntCh Dick Zimni Vrch (Jaxon) and his dam is IntCh Brush Dale’s Brown-Eyed Girl (Tess). Lovec is owned by Scott Green of Cokato, MN.

Lovec shares his home (and Scott’s bed) with his older ½ brother Jager. Jager, Brush Dale’s Open Season is from Tess also and comes from the O-litter. Lovec is affectionate and has a couple of funny personality characteristics; every morning upon waking up, Lovec likes to lick and nibble on one of Scott’s ears (his way of saying good morning) and when really content while being petted or for belly rubs, Lovec will doggie purr, it sounds like a deep chested soft growl (but he’s not growling), and whenever he wants a little attention or an ear scratch, he puts his paw on Scott’s hand or arm and stares at him.

Lovec has a very attractive, medium dense, soft, dark roan coat, with nice furnishings. He weighs around 54 pounds and is average in height for a male Small Munsterlander per the Breed’s FCI standard. Lovec has a beautiful flag for a tail – a required characteristic of the breed. He has a nice masculine head, muzzle, and appropriately almond shaped eyes. Everywhere Scott takes Lovec, people familiar with the Small Munsterlander breed comment how Lovec is a beautiful example of a male Small Munsterlander and people not familiar with the breed comment; what a beautiful dog. Lovec received his International Championship in confirmation on April 10 th and 11 th of 2021. During that same weekend Lovec earned a “Best in Show Rare Breed Adult” honor.

Scott is actively involved in NAVHDA Testing and AKC Hunt Tests with both Lovec and Jager. Lovec earned a max score of 112 and a Prize 1 at his Natural Ability test at age 15 months. Lovec was easily ready much earlier, but Covid had an impact on when he could run his test. Scott has trained and tested Jager (Lovec’s ½ brother at the highest level of NAVHDA, the “Invitational” in September 2021 and requalified Jager for his second Invitational in September 2022 in New Mexico. Scott is extremely confident Lovec will be able to reach this same level of success within NAVHDA. In addition, Scott will have Lovec actively involved in obtaining his AKC Hunting Titles.

Like his mother (Tess) and ½ brother Jager, Lovec has a very high prey drive. This is the reason Scott wanted a second pup from Tess. To go with the prey drive, Lovec has an excellent off-switch while in the home. He loves to take naps on his bed or on Scott’s feet, while Scott is working at his desk. Lovec and Jager do get a daily run off leash every evening for approximately 45 minutes, this definitely helps with the off-switch aspect.

Lovec is hunted on both upland game birds and waterfowl. He’s hunted and retrieved; quail, pheasants, chukar, sharptail, ruff grouse, and waterfowl in Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington. In the field Lovec is a tireless, relentless, bird finding machine. Lovec’s cooperation and obedience in the field allows him to be an absolute joy to hunt with. He’s always quartered naturally back and forth in front of Scott and periodically comes back to check-in and is regularly making eye contact. He instinctively knows that they are a team in the field.

During the three seasons to date, Lovec has retrieved 100% of the birds knocked down over him. He’s a natural retriever; in addition, he’s been trained to retrieve into the heel position, sit, and then presents the bird. Retrieving waterfowl out of a boat is something to witness, Lovec literally launches himself off the side, back or off the motor to start the retrieve. (He Loves It)! A couple of upland retrieves in particular stand out to Scott; at 7 months, on the Iowa pheasant opener, Scott knocked down a rooster, Lovec got a good mark, but the rooster was running. Scott was able to watch Lovec’s track/retrieve via his GPS collar. The distance away reached 185 yards before Lovec started back. The rooster was still alive when Lovec delivered to Scott’s hand. Scott knew at that point that he had a great natural retrieving dog. The second sequence happened the fall of 2021 during a Montana hunting trip. Lovec is now 2 ½, a friend knocked down a rooster, but no dog saw the bird fall. Lovec was delivered to the spot and given the “Dead Bird” command. Again, using the GPS collar the track and retrieve was watched. This time the distance went out to 365 yards, with the bird retrieved to hand.

To make hunting trips even more enjoyable, Lovec rides extremely well in the vehicle. He’s made multiple trips to Dallas, TX, Spokane, WA, and many others of great distance. In addition, Lovec and Jager generally go with Scott every where in his truck. The exception to the rule of doing well in the vehicle is when the tires hit gravel, the whining and excitedness reach a high level, only because that means one thing – “Its Bird Hunting Time”.
