The first thing I want to mention for you to learn about the Miniature Pinscher is this breed is not a miniature Dobie or Doberman Pinscher. Pinscher means "Terrier" in German, where this dog breed ordinates. Your Miniature Pinscher is a mixture of a short haired German Pinscher, Italian Greyhound and Dachshund all wrapped into this compact dog breed.
To know more about the size of this pet, it ranges from 10 to 12.5 inches tall in the category of toy dogs. It is actually known as the king of toys, however, does not know it is a small dog. You will learn that they will thrive if the pet owners treat this as a full size dog for the contentment of the dog.
Knowing that grooming includes occasional brushing and shampooing will keep shedding to a minimum. Specific care must be taken to protect this canine in extremely cold temperatures since the coat is not a good insulator for this dog.
Looking at the short, smooth coat the colors you can select are red, stag red, which are red with black hairs, black with rust markings or chocolate with tan.
Pet owners will quickly know they have a very energetic and fearless guard dog with a stubborn streak. Obedience training is done easily since the Miniature Pinscher is very intelligent.

Exercising your dog includes their own playfulness and a daily walk with you to sustain a healthy pet. The Miniature Pinscher gait will entertain you as they walk proudly with some animation.
Physical characteristics of the Miniature Pinscher abound, along with great social skills. Those qualities make this a good choice for apartment and small space living conditions. This breed is known to be a one or two person dog, but with training, that can easily be changed. This breed likes children of all ages.
