Small Munsterlander
His actual beginning is unknown. The Small Munsterlander is believed to have been advanced during the nineteenth century in the Münster area of northern Germany, in which the breed was nicknamed “little spy” for his intelligence and tenacity in the field. Besides his capacity to perform several hunting-related tasks, the Small Munsterlander also was advanced as the best family companion. The United Kennel Club identified this multipurpose breed as a member of the Gun Dog Group in 2006. It remained part of the American Kennel Club’s Foundation Stock Service during its development.

Upkeep
The occasional brushing and bath are all it takes to maintain the Small Munsterlander’s coat in tiptop shape. Keep in thought he sheds seasonally, usually in the late spring and early fall, during which more often brushing and bathing can be necessary. In addition, his nails must be trimmed, ears checked and wiped clean and teeth brushed regularly. The Small Munsterlander also desires regular workout and mental stimulation to hold him occupied, such as every day supervised free strolling or playtime in a big fenced yard. He’s happiest while hunting, but also excels at agility, obedience, retrieving, and hunting checks or trials.
