Breed Profile

The Small Münsterländer Pointer was developed in the early 1900s in Munster, Germany. He is a courageous and tireless hunter with excellent retrieving skills. The Münsterländer loves children and makes a wonderful family companion. He is loyal, affectionate, and intelligent. Being an active sporting dog, however, he does require regular physical and mental exercise.

The Munsterlander is a very versatile hunting dog with great pointing and retrieving abilities, and therefore, loves to hunt as well as swim. In Europe, he is used to track, point and retrieve upland birds, waterfowl and fur-bearing animals and he has also been used to hunt deer and boar.

His coat is brown and white and of moderate length with generous feathering on the forelegs, chest and tail.

Health Issues

If you are considering the adoption of a Munsterlander puppy, or any breed, it is very important to be selective in choosing a responsible and reputable breeder. Ensure that the prospective puppy’s parents have all health clearances. Breeding of any dog should not be done until after they have been proven to be free of evidence of significant hereditary diseases. (For more information on selecting a breeder, see the articles on the main General Information page.)
