Answer 3

Small Munsterlanders are an intelligent, faithful breed that is very eager to please. They love to be with their owners and are very family-oriented. Although an outdoorsy dog, this breed is not suitable for kenneling nor being left alone for hours. This breed will most likely bond with one member of the family more than others, but very much enjoys being with the entire family. Small Munsterlanders are active, sociable, and affectionate. They get along well with other pets inside the house, but animals that can be hunted outside won't be treated with the same respect. They can sometimes be stubborn and dominant, and therefore need consistent training. Moonsters have a strong prey drive, but are still sweet and somewhat sassy. They love the water, and are loyal and trustworthy dogs. They are gentle, eager, and love to bring their owners "gifts" when they are left alone for a time. The Small Munsterlander is also an excellent hunting breed. For these reasons, if you are an active person, this might be the right breed for an inexperienced owner.
