History: The Miniature Pinscher dog breed comes
from Germany and in its genetic pool, we find
Italian Greyhound, Dachshund and the short haired
German Pinscher. This breed looks very similar to
the Doberman, and this is due to the fact that
German pincher is in the gene pool of both these
dog. The Miniature Pinscher was used to control
the rodent population in barnyards and farms, and
later in stables in the cities. Some of this
breeds' talents lie in competitive obedience and
agility and have also been used as a watchdog.

Temperament: The Miniature Pinscher dog is
generally of good health and is a proud and
courageous dog. With high energy, great spirited
and enthusiasm the Miniature Pinscher shines with
life. They are loyal dogs to their owners. This
dog is generally good with other pets, and is
good with children. As with all small dogs,
dependant upon how you treat this dog will have a
vast impact on their temperament; small dog
syndrome is something to be avoided as this will
lead to a demanding dog that can be incredibly
headstrong, becoming protective and openly
aggressive with other dogs, and possibly people.
At the least your dog will bark far more than you
wish for. This dog, like all others require a
good pack leader, this is the owner. This breed
is a fast and good learner, and it is very
beneficial to socialise the dog well as a puppy.
Here, the dog can meet new people and new dogs,
allowing for better understanding throughout
their lives. If this dog is given good, fair
boundaries, and a good pack leader, that
understands how fast this dog can learn,
exercising both their physical and mental needs,
including daily walks. This can be a magnificent
family companion.

Health issues: The Miniature Pinscher has no
problems and is of good general health.

Grooming: Using a firm bristle brush or comb,
brush twice weekly or more often as needed. This
breed is easy to keep clean. If required using a
damp warm cloth, wipe the coat down to keep the
coat clean.

Living conditions: The Miniature Pinscher breed
is a good choice for apartment life. It is active
indoors and can live without a garden. Always
make sure your dog has a walk daily, as it is not
just good physical exercise, but also gives the
mind something to do, which is important for this
breed.
