WKND#011 WITH RYAN SWANSON ABOUT SMALL MUNSTERLANDER HUNTING DOGS

LAKE LIFE WKND 011 Do you know our Oskar yet? You may have seen pictures of our dog on Insta. We spoke with Ryan Swanson from Detroit Lakes about the Small Munsterlander breed and learned what a fantastic hunting dog Oskar will be one day. Ryan is a Small Munsterlander breeder and member of the "KLEINER MÜNSTERLÄNDER" chapter of North America, which is actually a part of the German breeding association. Ryan is a knowledgeable advocate for these traditional hunting dogs which are not a new cross-breed but actually a pure-dog-breed with gens dating back to the 1800's.

The development of the Small Munsterlander is hidden somewhere in the middle of the 19th century. After the change of the German hunting law, with the increasing number of hunters and hunting enthusiasts and the systematic cultivation of the game stock the breeding of new German Pointing Dogs began. There are reports saying that around 1870 longcoated “Wachtelhunds” (German Spaniels) were well known in the Munsterland region. These dogs were firm in pointing, they had enormous scenting abilities and were also able to retrieve. More details on the association website https://klm-gna.org/fci-breed-standard/

WKND#004 WITH BRETT BURCH ABOUT DISC GOLF MINNESOTA

LAKE LIFE WKND 004 Due to severe weather conditions we are taking one more week of a winter break...but in anticipation of spring we thought we are re-running our recording with Brett Burch about Disc Golf. Brett relocated from Colorado to Minnesota last year and is a passionate disc golf player. He opened a small disc golf shop in Ottertail selling equipment, giving classes and hoping to help grow the sport locally. Hear the full story and learn more about the fastest growing sport in the US today. Find out how and more lake life on our daily updated event schedule at www.lakelifewknd.com

Disc Golf is a flying disc sport in which players throw a disc at a target; it is played using rules similar to golf. It is often played on a course of 9 or 18 holes. Players complete a hole by throwing a disc from a tee area toward a target, throwing again from the landing position of the disc until the target is reached. Usually, the number of throws a player uses to reach each target are tallied (often in relation to par), and players seek to complete each hole, and the course, in the lowest number of total throws.
