Small Munsterlander Pointer

More than anything else in the world, the Small Munsterlander Pointer wants to go hunting. Between hunting and 24-hour access to a supply of doggie treats, this breed would probably choose hunting. Beyond spending time in the field, they love spending time with their owners  and are affectionate companions who are quiet and content at home, provided they’ve gotten their exercise. Small Munsterlander Pointers are smart and learn very quickly. They love having a puzzle to solve and learn best with gentle direction.

Small Munsterlander Pointers have a medium-length coat that you’ll need to brush at least once a week. The more they go out in the field, the more you’ll need to brush them, as they tend to bring home various souvenirs in their fr from their hunting adventures.

Small Munsterlander Pointers are one of the few sporting breeds that should almost certainly live with people who hunt. They are so happy when they are out in the field that some breeders will only allow their pups to be sold to hunters who will make them happy hunting dogs for their whole lives. Beyond being placed in a hunting family, Small Munsterlander Pointers usually do best in living situations where they have plenty of room to run around and play. They are great with children and other pets, especially if they were raised around them. They need a large playground where they can burn off steam, but at the end of the day, they need to be living inside with their humans, which you’ll want anyway.

Small Munsterlanders require an hour or two of exercise every day. They seem to have a never-ending supply of energy, which  you’ll want to make sure they burn off healthily rather than deviantly. Their favorite way to burn off energy is hunting, which they’ll basically do for as long as you let them.
