ABOUT US

Cedars Point has been a selective breeder of Small Munsterlanders since the approval of Cedar as a stud in 2018.  We currently own two breeding females along with Cedar our stud.  

 

Last year we kept a pup out of the G Litter between Gosch's Cir Conn-Cedar and Brush Dale's You Can't Fence Me In-Yetta.  This litter was a three-peat of our A and C litters.  We are at the beginning stages of grooming Glitzy Spitz as a potential breeding prospect as well.

 

As an established kennel, proven trainer and seasoned breeder we have accomplished great things:

​

• Four (4) of our first six (6) litters received North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) Natural Ability (NA) Breeders Awards.  The NA awards we earned with all three of our bitches Riavas Miss Dakota (1) and Brush Dale's You Can't Fence Me In (2) and BB's Aster (1).  Our stud sired three of the four litters.  

• Gosch's Cir Conn-Cedar has sired four NA Breeders Award Litters, three for us and one for a first time breeder, BB's Kennel, out of Iowa.  

• Sunny Acre's Along Life's Pathway, which Cedar sired, recently completed basic requirements for breeding.   Her confirmation was physically evaluated at the Brush Dale's Fun Hunt in the spring of 2023.  This pup also ran a maximum score in her NAVHDA NA test. 

• Cedars Point Angus Hunts Sirius, an "A" Litter pup was the first of two Small Munsterlanders born in North America to achieve a maximum score of 112  in the NAVHDA NA test at 4 month of age.  An article written by Brenda sharing his unique story can be found in the November of 2021 Versatile Hunting Dog Magazine here. 

• Cedars Point Don't Stop Believin' ran her NA NAVHDA test at 15 weeks scoring a Prize III 98 with maximum scores in Pointing, Tracking, Swimming and Cooperation.  She's currently the youngest Small Munsterlander in North American history to Prize in NAVHDA NA testing at 3.67 months of age.

• Cedars Point Confident Trulee, one of our "C" Litter pups, was accepted into the Penn Vet Working Dog Centers K9 Training Program in  2022.  Trulee graduated from the program in 2024.  Trulee was 10 weeks of age when accepted into the program. 

• In 2023, Cedars Point D Litter pup out of BB's Aster and VC Brush Dale's Open Season-CPK Dark Sweet Lady-Echo was placed in a working dog setting with the Alpental Ski Patrol Manager.  Andrew and Adianne, Echo's owners will be pursuing Backcountry Avalanche Rescue K9 (BARK) Certification with this pup over the next two or three years.  It just so happens Jeff learned to ski at The Summit some 52 years ago.

• In 2025 we launched our blog site...  The goal, which has been challenging and time consuming-to post new content bi-monthly.  The current categories are: Looking for a Small Munsterlander?, Recipes, What's New at Cedars Point, The Whelping Room-aimed at breeder development, and the Training Table-to aid the developing handler.  We've been breeding and training Small Munsterlanders for 10 years and are constantly learning/evolving.  The purpose of the blog has been to provide a forum for the exchange of information-with breeders, buyers and those intrigued by the breed, to encourage engagement-which has been a flop thus far, and to develop a forum for connecting people to the breed.  We're currently one of the only breeders of Small Munsterlanders who's investing in such an endeavor.  Ultimately, it comes down to education-even how we cook our quarry.  We hope folks find value there and decide to eventually become engaged.  We've had well over a thousands post views since the launch.
