The Miniature Pinscher, also known as the Zwergpinscher, and Min Pin, is a small breed of dog of the pinscher type originating in Germany. The breed's earliest ancestors may have included the German Pinscher mixed with Italian greyhounds and dachshunds.
Miniature Pinschers are for experienced dog owners. Many people
underestimate the care, time, and effort needed in order to raise a
Miniature Pinscher. The Miniature Pinscher is an assertive, outgoing,
active, and independent breed. Miniature pinschers are energetic and
need a fenced yard to run in; they make great agility dogs. They are
great escape artists and some recommend having a kennel with a lid on it
for them to run around in. They are good watchdogs, as they are alert
and wary of strangers. It is recommended that adults and teenagers,
rather than young children, play with a Miniature Pinscher as younger
children play rough. Miniature Pinschers are a stubborn breed when it
comes to training, but once trained they will obey commands well.
