Our Commitment to Excellence
Robingun Kennels' goal is to breed only the BEST Small Munsterlanders possible that are true to the German FCI standard.
We have made sure that we own only the best breeding stock that are healthy, proven hunting dogs and good companions in the home. We have imported dogs from five countries in Europe to insure we only have the healthiest and best breeding stock that you will find in the U.S. We set very high standards for establishing and sustaining pedigrees that are used to produce superior offspring. All of our dogs are hunted, trained and tested by us, as well as they are pets in our home. We have a large heated/cooled kennel facility for our dogs when they are not in the house with us. ALL of our breeding stock is evaluated in at least two levels of the AKC and/or the NAVHDA testing systems which surpasses the minimum Natural Ability test requirement to be approved for breeding by the SMCA. A dog's temperament is equally important to us as their hunting ability so we strive to produce truly versatile hunting dogs that can not only hunt but be a lifelong member of a family. In addition to providing a six year health guarantee on all of our puppies, we also provide each owner with a puppy training manual we wrote and we offer our advice and assistance in training the puppy. We will also handle the puppies we sell in their NA test if requested. The puppies we raise are evaluated at 5 and 8 weeks of age for their conformation and temperament using the proven Pat Hastings' method. We do our best to match puppies with the prospective owner's hunting and training experience and their personal lifestyle. Each litter that we whelp is planned and genetically calculated in advance with the help of our mentor and partner, Tom McDonald, because we are committed to producing the best puppies possible and because we care about the breed's health and the future genetics of the breed here in the U.S. |
Tom McDonald with Gero vom Kinderbach and Pam Robinson with Zandor vom Fuchseck - our males imported from Germany that are five days apart in age,
We only breed the highest quality Small Munsterlanders that have better than average test scores, natural hunting instincts and stable temperaments in the home. We regularly hunt our breeding stock on wild birds/game and we are always happy to have visitors see our dogs work in the field/water. We believe that breeders can't really promise great hunting dogs if they don't hunt their dogs and know how they perform in the field on wild game. We have the most diversified breeding stock from the the top breeders in the world.
We want our puppies to go to the best homes possible so we ask prospective buyers to fill out a questionnaire before we will agree to sell them a puppy and we only sell our puppies to hunting homes. Puppies we sell are well socialized with people and other pets and they will have their first shots, be wormed, micro-chipped and dew claws will be removed. We are the only SMCA breeder who has always offered a six year genetic health guarantee for every litter we have sold. Our puppies sell for $2000 - $2500 depending on the pairing. We evaluate all of our puppies' temperament and conformation before they are placed with their owners as well as our litters are raised in our home, well-socialized and introduced to gunfire, birds and water. All of our puppies will be registered with NAVHDA and the SMCA as well as RGK pays for one year of membership to NAVHDA for our new puppy buyers. We sell to only responsible owners and utilize the "Breeding Restriction" registration offered by the NAVHDA and AKC registry. The puppies we sell are required to test in the NAVHDA Natural Ability test before they are 16 months old. We are happy to train and handle the pups in the Natural Ability Test for the owners if requested. NAVHDA (The North American Hunting Dog Association) is the foundation registry and testing organization used for the Small Munsterlander Club in America. By NAVHDA using a "standard" for testing purposes, Robingun Kennels can compare our Small Munsterlanders with other versatile breeds. SEE THE TESTIMONIALS FROM SOME OF OUR PUPPY BUYERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE! We only sell our puppies to hunting homes and require that each puppy we sell is evaluated in the NAVHDA Natural Ability Test before it is 16 months old. |
Robingun Kennels chooses to test our potential breeding stock in not only the NAVHDA Natural Ability test (comparable to the German VJP test) but also the UPT (comparable to the German HZP test) or UT test at a young age. We believe that a truly versatile dog should not only have the natural ability to hunt but the ability, desire and cooperation to hunt in a variety of hunting situations that are measured in the UPT/UT tests. All of our breeding stock is evaluated in two levels of testing, which is not only a testimony to the inherited hunting traits of the dogs we own, but a testimony about the train-ability of the dogs we own and have produced.
We are proud of the fact that we test ALL of our dogs used for breeding in the NAVHDA and/or AKC testing system. We want to make sure we are breeding only the best dogs by measuring their inherited traits that are evaluated in the basic natural ability puppy test as well as in the upper level tests which gives us a better insight into the temperament and train-ability of our dogs. This way we have a complete performance evaluation on each of our dogs hunting ability and temperament before they are used for breeding. We also have our dogs' conformation evaluated by the UKC and/or IABCA and all of our breeding stock have earned Conformation titles for the breed as well as several of our dogs have won titles at conformation shows where they were judged against other versatile hunting dog breeds.
Eight of our dogs (VC Joker, Gunnar, Nixie Rae, Zandor, Branka, Ukon, Tevah and Kyetta) passed two levels of the NAVHDA tests before they were 25 months of age. Three of our dogs have qualified for the NAVHDA Invitational which is the highest level of testing in the NAVHDA system. Only those dogs that have achieved a Prize I in the Utility Test are eligible. This limits the entry to exceptional animals who have demonstrated a high level of training and tests their skills in the advanced work.
Since 2012 Robingun Kennels and Wolfsburg Kennels have imported 19 dogs from five different European countries. Six of those imports are old enough and have met our criteria for breeding. Five of our imports have sired or whelped a litter for us. We have taken special care to research and visit each breeder looking for only the best breeding stock in the world from proven lines to diversify and improve the genetics of our breeding program. We are very thankful for the advice and lifelong relationships we have formed with the European and American breeders who have sold us their outstanding puppies.

We encourage anyone looking for a SM puppy to use caution if a breeder is not a member of a recognized breed club. Breeders who are only NAVHDA members in the U.S. may not be reputable breeders who are held to any breed or health standards.

TESTIMONIALS:
"Hello Pam- I’m sending a little picture for an update on Inca. Yes she’s ready to get inside the truck... a cold morning! She is a wonderful pup! She loves to hunt and not too picky if it’s ducks or upland birds! Inca is also such a great family dog! She and the granddaughter (who’s 3) love to snuggle and watch movies. You picked the perfect puppy for us! Thank you and happy holidays." T. Jones (Inca is from our "I" litter.)
"She (Robingun's Izetta Juwel) is the best well mannered dog we have ever had. Everyone is amazed when you tell them what she is. She's definitely a conversation piece." July 2017 Jessica Rich Cannon
"Pam selected the perfect puppy for us. We have owned setters, labs and cockers in the past and now will never own anything but a Small Munsterlander. We waited over a year for a pup from Pam even though she referred us to several other breeders before then who had litters because once we started visiting and comparing kennels there was no doubt in our mind who breeds the best dogs. Pam spent over three hours with us when we were checking out kennels. We saw every dog she owns and could not believe how well they behaved as well as she took us out to show us two of her dogs in the field. Unfortunately we could not convince her to sell us Zandor. We are happy we took the time to ask questions and visit several breeders ." Mike ("I" litter owner)
"As a passionate hunter, I made the choice to invest in a hunting dog. After researching breeds for close to a year, I came across the Small Munsterlander. After deciding this was the breed for me, I began to research kennels. I spent hours contacting people who bred Small Munsterlanders who didn't even hunt their dogs. Eventually I came across Robingun Kennels and it was clear immediately that they knew what they were doing. I spoke with Pam and she answered every question I asked with confidence and her passion for the breed was evident. Pam affirmed my decision to go with a Small Munsterlander and a year later our puppy was born. I made the 12 hour trip to the kennel to pick up our pup and after that I spoke with Pam several times with questions she never failed to answer. Six months passed by quickly and it was time to take our pup to his Natural Ability Test. Without Pam's advice and guidance I never would have had the confidence to test my pup. When they read the test scores and our pup earned a Prize I, the first person I called was Pam. There has never been a doubt in my mind about the decision I made to get a dog from Robingun Kennels. Our dog has retrieved over 1000 birds: doves, pheasants, quail, grouse, ducks and geese." (Joe-"C" litter puppy owner)
"With our "D" litter pup the compliments never cease. Everyone exposed to him is amazed by his character and behavior, and he continues to amaze us with his hunting ability. I would recommend Robingun Kennels to anyone interested in having an exceptional hunting dog." Paul M.
"We contacted other breeders who directed us to pay a deposit online if we wanted a pup before they ever bothered to speak with us to answer questions. It was obvious to us as soon as we contacted Robingun Kennels that Pam has high expectations for her dogs as well as her puppy buyers. She took special care to recommend one of her litters and our pup really matches what we wanted in a hunting dog as well as Pam has always answered our questions. She is the ONLY breeder who immediately contacted us back when we were looking for a pup." Jay ("F" litter)
"Thank you for the information and answering our questions regarding breeding requirements. We are very disappointed our breeder sold us a dog without telling us that because her nose is almost all pink she cannot be used for breeding. We would like to add another Munster to our family in a couple of years and we would love to get a dog from you." (Bob....)
"My family purchased our first small Munsterlander 3 years ago from Pam. The female that we received from Robingun's kennel was the most affectionate, attentive, intelligent dog that I have ever owned. She was a natural hunter that scored prize 1 in her natural ability test and won 1st place in a Munsterlander calcutta even though we as owners had never competed with bird dogs and did not know exactly how to prepare for such events. Pam is very personable and will always get you an answer if you have questions on your small munsterlander. I am extremely pleased with my purchase of a Robingun dog and would recommend them to anyone looking for a munsterlander." Shane Helmich | Nov 17, 2016 - Hunting Dog Breeders
"We discovered that there are many differences in SM breeders in the United States and Robingun Kennels is the only kennel that has consistently produced pups that have not had health or temperament issues. Very few SM breeders can show how they hunt all of their dogs like they do or bother to test their dogs beyond the bare minimum puppy test required for breeding. We have owned GSP's and labs and we love this breed and can't say enough about the honesty, passion and professionalism we encountered with Robingun Kennels." - Dean J. - Gun Dog Breeders - 2016
"We recently got a 6 year old Munsterlander, Tyche that had come with a recommendation from Robingun Kennels. He is an awesome dog and has fit in well with our German Shorthaired Pointers. My 12 year old son absolutely loves him, and goes everywhere with him. He is very obedient and my husband uses him for a guide dog and a retrieving dog on a hunting preserve. Tyche also received grand champion obedience at the county fair with my teenage daughter. We love Tyche, and I have quickly fallen in love with this breed, and hope to get another one someday. Pam also has been very helpful with us and is always willing to answer any questions we have. I would highly recommend Robingun Kennels." Julie Phillips - 2016
"Daisy Rye comes from Robingun Kennels and Pamela Robinson. Her dam is Etta and her sire is Aico from the Netherlands. Her nose is incredible! She uses the stealth method when hunting, intense and calculating every move. I prayed everyday when I learned Etta was pregnant that I would get a pup from this litter. I saw her within minutes of her birth. Pam held her in her hand and took a photo. Pam is an extraordinary breeder. She provided weekly updates, photos and videos. It was almost like I was there-almost!" - Victoria T.
"We got our first hunting dog from this kennel. We love the breed and Pam has helped us from day one with our pup. Our pup came to us at 9 weeks of age and he was introduced to gunfire, birds, water, etc. We highly recommend the breed as a great house pet and hunting dog and you will not find a better breeder." Brandon T. (Testimonial on Gun Dog Breeders website)
"We are so pleased with this breed. We have owned numerous hunting dogs but this is our first Small Munterlander. Pam made sure she selected the perfect dog for us. She spends hours with her pups doing conformation and temperament testing as well as working with the pups on birds. Our pup slept through the night the first night we brought him home. Amazing dogs and amazing breeder. Highly recommend. " Michael (Testimonial on Gun Dog Breeders website)
"Got our second SM from Robingun Kennels and she is by far the best pup we have ever owned. She is a great dog in the field and our home. Our pup was exposed to birds, water, people, the kennel and almost potty trained totally. Thanks to the Robinson's for all of their hard work with the pups. We HIGHLY recommend this breeder!"

"Top Notch Breeder who takes the time to help you after the sale with training and/or testing. We have had many dogs but this is our first Small Munsterlander. We talked to every breeder in the U.S. and we chose Robingun Kennels because they make sure they breed for quality not quantity. They hunt and test their dogs. We are very pleased with our pup's temperament in the home and field. If you want the best pup possible buy a pup from Robingun Kennels!" Danielle R. (2014)
"Got a pup from Pam last summer and the pup is amazing in the field and we hunted her already this Fall. This breeder is excellent and so are her dogs." Submitted by: Mark K. (2015) on Hunting Dog Breeders Website
"Our Sm is two years old and one of the best dogs we have owned. Two of my friends have SM from other kennels and they are not near the dog we have. Our dog is great with our kids. Pam spent many hours working with us on picking out the right pup. You can't go wrong with this breeder. Nobody else offers the service she does or prepares her pups like she does."
