| Miniature Pinscher: | The Miniature Pinscher is also known as the Zwergpinscher and Min Pin. This breed actually predates the Doberman Pinscher, and it is no way related. It was created in Germany to flush out rats from horse stables, and the German Pinscher is an ancestor of it. Pinscher means Terrier to some and biter to others. It depends on the translation. Since they were bred to hurt, hunt, and kill vermin, it does well with toys that stimulate its imagination or have moving or interlocking parts. It seems to collect its toys and transfer them from one hiding place to another. Get toys that are chew-able because the breed loves to chew its toys down. Noisy contraptions intrigue the breed. They have an incessant quest to satiate their curious impulses. This dog is stubborn, willful, confident, brazen, and loud. It is suspicious of strangers, and it can be aggressive with other dogs. Many people advise that this dog, often called the "King of the Toys", be given proper socialization in courses with other puppies at a very young age. Proper socialization can ensure that this dog doesn't become unfriendly to other dogs once it reaches maturity. Some countries list this dog as a Terrier as opposed to a toy breed.
The Miniature Pinscher bitches are 10 to 11 inches high at the withers, and males are 10 to 12 inches. The males weigh 8 to 10 pounds, and the bitches weigh 8 to 9 pounds. This dog is small, agile, square, muscular, and its short, easy-to-groom coat is black & tan, blue, fawn, chocolate, or red. Its meager paws are cat-like. The dog is very self-assured, high-spirited, and entirely too animated. It has a docked tail and pitch-dark oval-like eyes. It lives 12 to 15 years, and it needs a daily walk to fulfill its primal instinct to walk. Watch for its peculiar high-stepping gait.
The Miniature Pinscher likes children, but children should not be encouraged to engage it in rough play or roughhousing. This is a small, frail-bodied dog that can be easily injured by any kind of rough play. They're pretty uptight, and not laid back at all, so don't let people mishandle them. Their small size is deceiving. They're pretty spirited. These dogs are prone to choking on small objects. Care should also be taken in cold climates because their coats don't provide much insulation. Be sure not to let the dog have toys that are so small it can choke on them. This dog lays claim to particular spots in the house, and it generally chooses soft and comfortable places. Leave your bedroom door open at night so that the Miniature Pinscher will come in. It will jump on the bed, and, oftentimes, scurry under the covers. The breed is particularly territorial. Miniature Pinschers often had little human contact or association when in barns, and this is why they're so self-possessed and independent nowadays.
