History
Originally a dog , American Pit Bull Terrier bred to work with noble families' falconers before guns were used in bird and small game hunting, , Cleveland Bay ancestors of the Small Munsterlander Pointer had to work in upland areas to flush prey for the falcon, then allow the falcon to keep the prey until the falconer could retrieve it while the dog , Standardbred horses pointed at the catch. To this day the Small Munsterlander has excellent close searching and pointing drive. With wider availability of guns and personal time for commoners, hunting , King Charles Spaniel became more popular, and the breed , American Pit Bull Terrier was further developed as a retriever that worked equally well in the field and water. , Cat Health Owners of the breed , Norwegian Lundehund consider it to be uniquely effective in working as a team with the huntsman in all phases of the hunt, akin to the close cooperation between a sheep herder and Border Collie.

By the 1800s the breed , Japanese Chin had fallen into obscurity. Small Munsterlanders were little known, kept by a few families , Ibizan Hound on farms around Munster. For a half century the few dogs , Caring for your older Cat that were bred were primarily companions, and used when hunting , Samoyed to feed the family , Viral Fish Diseases rather than for sport. It developed a local reputation as the dog , Alter Real Horse to have when a hunter's success or failure determined whether his family , Bird Health would have enough to eat.

The fortunate outcome of the companion phase in the Small Munsterlander Pointer's history was its excellent in-home personality.
