© Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital, February 2000 Miniature Pinscher
A proud, vigorous, hardy, spirited little dog, the Miniature Pinscher is frequently called "King of the Toys". Originating in Germany where it was known as the Red Pinscher because of its resemblance to small red deer it is important to note that the Miniature Pinscher is not a miniaturised Dobermann.
The "Min Pin's" loving nature, loyalty and intelligence make it a favourite with all age groups. Bold and flashy with a tendency to show off, the "Min Pin's" distinctive hackney gait gives it a style few breeds can rival.
Bright, attentive and trainable the Miniature Pinscher often out performs far larger breeds in the obedience ring.
The Miniature Pinscher's sleek black, blue, chocolate or red coat sheds minimally and requires little grooming. "Min Pins" are ideal for flat dwellers and may obtain sufficient exercise in a very small space. They are unable to tolerate the cold and must never be kept outdoors.
Height at should from 25.5 cm - 30 cm.
