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. What the Min Pin really is is an intelligent dog that is extremely loyal and intelligent, and yes, full of energy. It's no wonder this breed has been given the nickname "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 because they are so loyal, proud and courageous, the Miniature Pinscher makes an excellent watchdog. But those same traits can make them difficult if not trained properly. Min Pins can become almost tyrannical, running your house for you. If you own this breed you simply need to establish early on that you are the one in charge. Some Min Pin owners may have trouble disciplining their pet simply because he's so cute. Don't make this mistake. You'll find that because this breed is so intelligent that training is fairly easy. And once he's trained you will have everything you could want in a pet. Your Min Pin will be incredibly loyal and loving and simply a joy to be around. These dogs are real comedians and will leave you laughing every time you watch them play. 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. And there are very few breeds that would be considered more loyal than a Miniature Pinscher. He will quickly become attached to everyone in your family, although he does have a tendency to become very attached to one person in particular. And Min Pins aren't just playful as puppies, they remain that way through their old age. Sure they are a bundle of energy and need exercise, but because of their size they can get plenty of it just running around your home or apartment. And don't think you need to keep up with them. They'll have a blast playing by themselves with you watching. 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.
