Miniature Pinscher - Not Your Average Dog!

Tiny dogs have been known to exist as far back as the Stone Age and many of them are ancestors to several of the small dogs we love today.

The Miniature Pinscher was known early on as the Reh Pinscher, apparently because he resembled the small roe deers that lived in German forests. He was skilled at exterminating mice and rats, which he did very well in the farmhouse.

The tiny Min Pins, as they are fondly called, are energetic, high strung, intelligent and clownish. They can be a handful - no pun intended - which is an important consideration before getting one. If you are prepared for this and have the time to train them, they make very sweet pets IMHO.
