Small Munsterlanders are very intelligent, trainable, and attentive but require gentle and
patient training, which provides excellent results. They are also strong-willed and an
owner who is inconsistent or indecisive might find that his dog is hard to control. Both
voice and hand signals are used, and an Small Munsterlander Pointer looks back at the
hunter for silent signals at intervals when on hold or pointing. They have a very strong
drive to follow their keen sense of smell, and thrive with hunting or comparably
challenging exercise for an hour or more every day. They love swimming, too. Lack of
regular and sufficient exercise and mental challenge will likely result in unwanted
behavior, which is common in highly intelligent, driven breeds. They mature rather slowly
over 2.5 to 3 years but a well-trained, mature SM is a hunter without peer, and the upland
bird hunter hunting over such a dog will enjoy both the experience and great success.
The Small Munsterlander is a happy, affectionate family pet when in the house, while
remaining a keenly focused, even driven, hunter-pointer-retriever when in the field. They
are not suited to life in a kennel because of their sociable nature and need to interact
with people—they need to live in the home of their human family. Small Munsterlander
Pointers will pick an individual person to bond most closely with, typically the one who
hunts with the dog, but will revel in the company of the rest of the family, too. When
raised with other pets in the household, such as cats, they can coexist happily though
they may enjoy a game of chase and point. Unfamiliar small animals outdoors will not be
tolerated in the same way.
