The German Pinscher, also referred to as the Standard Pinscher, is a German breed that has been around since 1879. This breed nearly went extinct before World War II. Fortunately a man named Herr Werner Jung brought the breed back. Today all German Pinschers descend from one “founding mother.”
This is a smaller dog that only stands between 17 and 20 pounds and weighs between 23 and 35 
pounds. They have a short, glossy and smooth coat that comes in solid colors that range between fawn and stag red. This dog is a good natured dog that is equally as suitable as a family dog or a watch dog.

Hi,
I have had my German Pinscher almost a year now, we adopted her from another family at a year old. is it possible to train her even though she is no longer a puppy? we have been trying over the last year but nothing is working.
Most of the time it seems like she wont listen, we would love to have her inside most nights with us, but when ever she comes inside she goes toilet everywhere.
Please help
Yes, you can definitely train a dog of this age. There are three areas where you may be making mistakes:
1- Tools- Do you have the right training tools?
2- Techniques- Are you using training techniques that work?
3- Consistence- Are you being consistent in your efforts?
Hi, I am 12 years old and I’ve been wanting a dog ever since infancy. My parents just recently told me it’s time to look for a dog. So, I’ve been doing research and found the German Pinscher to be the right dog for us. We are still looking for a puppy but i want to know ahead of time how to train them because i hear they are hard to train. I am most likely the one to be training the dog because the rest of my family don’t care as much as i do. I just want a few training tips and how to be a good owner.
