As another of the German-bred versatile gundogs, the Large Munsterlander was originally bred and recognized as a color variant of the German Longhaired Pointer until the early 1900s. The Large Munsterlander, or LM as it is affectionately known, is a calm and gentle field dog that adjusts well to home life and performs exceptionally in a variety of hunting environments. LMs are close workers in the field and tend to be very responsive to commands. Although the LM's pointing instincts tend to mature later in life, they demonstrate a great tracking abilities.

The LM traditionally weighs between 53 and 76 pounds and typically has a black and white coat with medium-length hair.
