Cute puppy Rocky Balboa Miniature Pinscher Zwergpinscher, Min Pinis a small breed of dog
The Miniature Pinscher Zwergpinscher, Min Pinis a small breed of dog of the Pinscher type, developed in Germany. Miniature Pinschers were the first bred to hunt small. mammals, especially rats. The Miniature Pinscher is also known as the "King of the Toy Dogs". The international kennel club, the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, lists the Miniature Pinscher in Group 2, Section 1.1 Pinscher, along with the Dobermann, the German Pinscher, the Austrian Pinscher, and the other toy pinscher, the Affenpinscher.[1] Other kennel clubs list the Miniature Pinscher in the Toy Group or Companion Group. Miniature Pinscher breed standard calls for 10 to 12.5 inches at the withers (shoulders) with any dog under 10 or over 12.5 not eligible to be shown. The original Miniature Pinscher actually had more variance as being a cross between a smooth coated Dachshund and a Miniature Greyhound (known today as the Italian Greyhound, led to some carrying the Dachshund legs while others carried the Italian Greyhound leg creating some short and some tall. After many years of German breeding an average was maintained. Though today's standard is smaller than the original. Germans bred Miniature Pinschers until they could not stand due to small size and frailty, but there was good breeding stock left in Sweden. The coat is short and smooth, with colors, according to most breed standards, of red, stag-red, and black or chocolate with tan or rust markings, in addition to the blue and fawn. Blue coats, while admitted into the UK Kennel Club, can be registered in the American Kennel Club but cannot compete in show. They still benefit from all other aspects of the AKC. The Miniature Pinscher frequently has a docked tail and cropped ears, though the AKC no longer requires ear cropping for shows. The AKC standard specifies a characteristic hackney-like action: "a high-stepping, reaching, free and easy gait in which the front leg moves straight forward and in front of the body and the foot bends at the wrist. The dog drives smoothly and strongly from the rear. The head and tail are carried high." The standard in Europe does not require the high stepping gait as the original Miniature Pinscher (zwergpinscher) did not walk in such a fashion. In Europe and Germany this high stepping gait is considered a fault.
The miniature pinscher will on occasion carry a small white patch generally located on neck or breast area. This links directly back to the original breed colouring. The Miniature Pinscher did come in Merle coloring which in the Dachshund is referred to as Dapple and in Harlequin like that found in the Great Dane. The white gene is part of the makeup of this breed; though breeders for years have fought to eliminate this gene, it is accepted by AKC in conformation and show so long as the area of white is limited to no more than 1/2 inch in direction. The miniature pinscher is a lovely loyal jealous dog that thrives on interaction. They are a "one, or two person dog". They need to feel involved, putting them in a yard and walking them 20 minutes a day is not enough. If you have a bored miniature pinscher it will become destructive. King of toys is a metaphor for difficult to manage.
Once you have had a Miniature Pinscher for its life every other breed will seem easy. * Miniature Pinschers not brought up with children may have a non-malicious problem with children; they can be yappy, but are actually being protective. * Care should be taken in educating young people about proper handling and play. The dogs are relatively sturdy for their size but can be easily injured by rough play with a child. In addition, their high-strung temperament leaves little patience for such rough play. * Grooming is easy, as the smooth, short-haired coat requires little attention needing only occasional brushing and shampooing.[2] * Care must be taken in cold weather as the coat provides virtually no warmth. This also pertains to hot weather, with no guard hairs they can over heat. It is easier for them to be too cold than too hot, they usually do not like air conditioning that is set too low.
Due to their instinct to hunt vermin, special care must be taken in preventing a Miniature Pinschers from attacking small objects, such as bottle caps, as they could pose a choking hazard.
