MINIATURE PINSCHER
History - The miniature pinscher originated in 18th century Germany, where it was used to control rats. Today this bold little dog, reminiscent of a miniature Doberman, is kept strictly as a companion.
Temperament - The miniature pinscher, or “minpin,” is a spirited, sometimes stubborn dog that needs an experienced owner-handler. It does well in obedience training if started early, especially training if started early, especially important because of its tendency to bark excessively. Some minpins get along with children, but others can be nasty. They can also be suspicious of strangers and aggressive with other dogs.
Upkeep - Minpins need only a quick weekly brushing. They have a great deal of energy and need several short vigorous walks a day to relax them.
Size - height 10-12 inches, weight 8-10 pounds.
