The small munsterlander is a medium-sized working gun dog breed developed in northern Germany. Generally, it was used by the common people to hunt a variety of game birds and small animals. The breed nearly became extinct before it was reestablished in its native land in the late 19th century; it is still rare in the United States.
The small munsterlander is a versatile, intelligent, active, loyal, and elegant breed that is able to hunt, point, and retrieve. Its excellent sense of smell makes the breed useful in search and rescue and in the detection of contraband.
The legs of the small munsterlander are well feathered, and the dense, medium-length body coat may be straight or slightly wavy; it is water repellent. The coat color is usually brown and white, often with darker brown or tan markings or ticking. The small munsterlander generally weighs between 17.2 and 26.3 kg (38 and 58 lb).
Known as the kleiner munsterlander or spion in its native Germany and as the heidewachtel in the Netherlands, it is recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. In the United States the breed was first registered with the United Kennel Club; it was admitted to the Foundation Stock Service of the American Kennel Club as the small munsterlander pointer in 2006. There is also a large munsterlander, or grosser munsterland; like its smaller relation, it is a versatile gun dog.
