Small Munsterlander Pointer
These are lovable and affectionate dogs that bond well with the family. There will be no problems whatsoever in introducing them to other animals. The majority of them love and have great patience with children. Munsters can be quite vocal, especially if left alone for a long time. Always eager to please, they love to bring you presents, including your slippers or the newspaper. They need affectionate owners who will spend a lot of time with them.
Small Munsterlander Pointer
In the 1800’s, bird dogs in Germany came in all shapes, sizes and colors. In the latter part of the 19th century when there was a growing interest in individual breeds, the different types were all separated. When the German Long-Haired Pointer Club drew up its standards, the only colors allowed were liver and white. Black and white puppies were given away to farmers and hunters from the Munster area. These puppies were possibly bred with spaniel or setter types until the Munsterlander Pointer was given recognition in 1919.
