Dog breeds: Miniature Pinscher

Back to list of breeds

The Miniature Pinscher, also called the Reh Pinscher, the Zwergpinscher, Min Pin, and the Mini Pin, is a German breed. They belong to the toy group and it is suspected that they descended from a crossing of the German Pinscher, the Dachshund, and the Italian Greyhound, they are not actually a smaller version of the Doberman Pinscher as some people believe. This breed was developed as a ratter and as a watchdog. Today this little dog is used mostly as a family pet but still takes his job as a watchdog seriously.

The Miniature Pinscher stands between 10 and 12 inches tall and weighs between 8 and 10 pounds. Their coat is short, hard and smooth. They come in three basic coat colors, black, chocolate, and blue. This dog is best suited for families with older kids, as they don’t like to be pestered and rough housed with. They also get along well with other pets. Some of the health concerns that this breed has include eye problems and patella luxation.

This breed is prone to dominance so it is important that owners take a firm and consistent approach to training in order to avoid such problems as marking, excessive barking, and aggresssion.
