  1. miniature pinscher

    A miniature pinscher is a small breed of dog originating from Germany. Known for its distinctive, high-stepped hackney gait and spirited, energetic nature, this breed is often nicknamed "Minpin". Despite its resemblance, this toy breed is not a miniature version of the Doberman pinscher. The miniature pinscher features a compact, muscular body and is typically black, chocolate or red in color with a short and smooth coat. It is also characterized by its high energy levels, intelligence, and assertiveness, making it a suitable pet for experienced dog owners who can provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

  1. Miniature Pinscher

    The miniature pinscher is a small breed of dog, originating from Germany. The breed's earliest ancestors may have included the German Pinscher mixed with Italian greyhounds and dachshunds. 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. Other kennel clubs list the miniature pinscher in the Toy Group or Companion Group. The miniature pinscher is colloquially known as the "King of the Toys". The misconception that the miniature pinscher is a "miniature Doberman" occurred because the Doberman Pinscher was introduced to the US before the miniature pinscher. In 1919 the miniature pinscher was introduced to the AKC show ring. At the time, not knowing that it was referred to officially in Germany as the zwergpinscher, the AKC referred to the breed as simply "pinscher" and listed it in the miscellaneous category. When the Miniature Pinscher Club of America was created in 1929, they petitioned for miniature pinschers to be placed in the Toy group. The AKC's description, that the dog "must appear as a Doberman in miniature", led to the misconception common today that this breed is a "miniature Doberman pinscher". The original name for this breed in the US was "pinscher" until 1972 when the name was officially changed to miniature pinscher.
