You know, being an animal lover sometimes do indeed come in handy when it comes to observing nature. Take my own personal experience for example, in which I'm going to post in a very short moment, can be quite entertaining and fun. Just a little while ago Johnny and I went to a trail for a walk, the sun was shinning and the sky was clear with a few puffs of clouds occasionally floating by. There were a few people walking or running with their dogs with them and one of the dog and master couple really hit my funny bone because the dog's front paws was splaying sidewards, just like how some people have splayed feet! I guess a dog's physical differences can vary from one another, just like humans do as well!
Here's some basic information on the dog... it was a Small Musterlander, its origin was not clear until it hit a "Doggy-Boom" in the 19th century in Germany, it was quite common in all of Europe for hunting but sadly it is now quite rare these days to get our hands on, so as a result, a lot of hunters are "snatching" the puppies quite quickly.
Being rare aside, this breed is still a hunting companion but they can be an active, lively and affectionate pets in homes. They are also alert, as a result of being a gun dog and very loyal, they are quite gentle with children, so adults don't have to worry to much leaving kids with them.
They are medium sized but quite strong with a touch of elegance. Their fur are a bit wavy medium lengthed.
Generally speaking, the Small Musterlander is very smart and intelligent, it doesn't take to much work or time to train them a trick or two, so in a simple description, they are eager to please.
The males hight can reach up to 20.5~22.1 in. (or 52 ~ 56cm), while females are a bit smaller, around 19.7 ~ 21.3 in. (or 50 ~ 54 cm.) weighing up to 35 lb for males and 31 lb for females.
