COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Germany
MOST SUITED AS Family pet
SIZE
The shoulder height is 25 - 30 cm (91/2 - 111/2in).
COAT
The Miniature Pinscher has a very short-haired coat. The color is basically brown but can vary through various shades of brown, including deer red to black and tan.
CARE REQUIRED
The Miniature Pinscher requires little grooming. During moulting, use a rubber brush to remove dead and loose hairs; follow this by wiping the coat with a damp cloth to encourage the hair to shine.
CHARACTER
This lively, alert and vigilant dog likes to bark, is intelligent, sober, somewhat (over)courageous, dependent, loyal to its handler and learns quickly.
TRAINING
Many people seem to feel that just rudimentary training is sufficient with a small dog. This is a pity because the Miniature Pinscher can learn extremely well and wants very much to do so. It is certainly valuable for its socialization to take the dog to puppy courses where it can meet other people and dogs.
You will be dumbfounded by the speed at which the little Pinscher understands and obeys. Pay particular attention to house training since a puddle from such a small dog can easily be overlooked, so that the Miniature Pinscher gets the idea that you are happy to accept it fulfilling its natural needs indoors.
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
The Miniature Pinscher can get along well with other household pets and children, provided they do not pester it. They can be rather suspicious towards strangers, but their behavior will depend entirely upon how they were brought up as young dogs.
EXERCISE
A Miniature Pinscher is perfectly happy living in a flat provided it gets at least three outings a day when it can run and play. They are not really happy to spend their entire life in a basket or as a lap-dog.
