The Small Munsterlander (Kleiner Munsterländer) is a German hunting breed dating to the late 1800s, but a relative newcomer here in the United States. These dogs have been primarily bred and kept by hunters. They were bred to be versatile hunting dogs to track wounded game, flush/drive game, retrieve and point. Their temperament is similar to many other bird dog breeds. They are active, energetic, and do best when physically or mentally engaged.
