How to Feed a Mini Pinscher

The Mini Pinscher originally hails from Germany where it was employed on farms to catch rats. Generally weighing no more than nine pounds, and standing 10 to 12 inches in height, the Mini Pinscher is ̶0;thick-boned"; therefore it requires different bone-building minerals than other small dogs. In fact, William D. Kusic, animal researcher, says that what you feed your dog, and how, should be breed-specific as different breeds have different nutritional requirements.
