The Small Munsterlander is first and foremost a versatile hunting dog and natural retriever with a medium range, solid pointing instinct, and strong desire for the water. Small Munsterlanders have excellent tracking abilities for all types of work after the shot. These qualities are enhanced by intelligence and trainability.
The Club encourages and promotes the breeding of pure-bred Small Munsterlanders and to do all possible to bring their natural versatile hunting qualities to perfection for the foot hunter. SMCA Cooperative Breeders are your sole source for the highest quality Small Munsterlander from solid hunting stock. The Club's Breed Council monitors and supports Club breeders with the intent of maintaining the historical characteristics of the breed and improving the quality of the Small Munsterlander in America. Breeders must adhere to guidelines and regulations to be considered Cooperative Breeders. Quality is assured if you secure a puppy from an SMCA breeder.
See a list of all dogs and puppies available for purchase and/or adoption. We have puppies, adult dogs, and rescue dogs in continually updated lists.
The Cooperating Breeders Group was created to help insure the health of the Small Munsterlander and to require those who may have had medical problems in their SMs to report the incident. Both the sire and dame selected for breeding must demonstrate versatile hunting abilities. We encourage buyers to only purchase a puppy from an SMCA approved breeder or risk purchasing a puppy from a questionable breeder or puppy mill.
