What's the first thing you think of when you hear about the Miniature Pinscher? Many think he's a miniature Doberman. Others think he's simply yappy and tends to bite. Owners of this breed can tell you none of that is true.
In actuality, the Min Pin is fun loving, loyal and intelligent. He's earned his nickname as the King of the Toys.
So let's talk about some of the traits of this breed. Min Pins definitely have an attitude. Although they only weigh 8-12 pounds they certainly have the mentality of a much bigger dog. This breed is courageous well beyond its size. Just look at his high stepping gait and see how he holds his head high. You can't help but notice how proud this dog seems.
And when you have a dog that is so proud, loyal and courageous you have an excellent watchdog. But you also have a dog that can at times be a handful.
That's why it's so important for a Min Pin owner to make sure the dog knows early on who is in charge. The Miniature Pinscher will think he is until he realizes otherwise. And because he's so cute and comical, you may be tempted to let him get away with the occasional bad behavior. Do this and your dog will become a tyrant, running your home the way he sees fit. But don't let this tendency bother you because Min Pins are very intelligent and easy to train.
Take the time to train him properly and your Min Pin will be an fantastic pet. They are loving and exceedingly loyal, but they are also a blast to watch play. If you love to laugh (and who doesn't?), then the Miniature Pinscher is a great breed for you.
And while the Miniature Pinscher is certainly not a fragile breed, he does only weigh about 10 pounds. That means that kids can at times have a tendency to play too rough, especially since the Min Pin acts bigger than he is. Children may need to be reminded that the dog is still small.
We briefly mentioned loyalty earlier. There are very few dogs that are more loyal than a Min Pin. And although his tendency is to become extremely attached on one person in particular, he will get along well with everyone in your family.
Because they have so much energy, Miniature Pinschers need plenty of exercise. But the good news is that if you don't have the energy to keep up, their size means they can get all the exercise they need just running around your apartment or home. They love to play by themselves and if you're watching, they seem to perform more just for your enjoyment. You can't help but laugh.
And when it's time to settle down your Min Pin will be right there next to you. They are fun, smart, loyal, and easy to care for. What more would you want in a family pet?
