Miniature Pinschers
"King of Toys"
Originally from Germany, the Miniature Pinscher is a
small,
robust dog with a
lively and
lovable personality. Known as the
"King of Toys" this is a loyal, smart breed, but it
also tends to have a stubborn streak. Despite its small size, the Min
Pin is a strong, athletic dog with the spirit of a hunter and watchdog.
It is prized for its unique "hackney gait": almost trotting like a
horse, it lifts its front feet up and out with a bend at the wrist. But
unlike a horse, the Min Pin only trots this way with its front legs, not
its hind legs.
