Dog Breeds - Miniature Pinscher

The Miniature Pinscher or "Min Pin" is a toy breed of dog first bred to hunt vermin, especially rats. Although it has an appearance similar to the Doberman Pinscher, the Min Pin is not a "Miniature Doberman" as the it is much older than Doberman's breed. However, Both the Min Pin and Doberman share common ancestors including the Italian Greyhound, the Dachshund, or the Manchester Terrier.

Typically, the Min Pin stands between 10 and 12.5 inches at the withers, weighing between 9 to 13 pounds. The coat is short and smooth, with colors of red, stag-red, fawn, and black or chocolate with tan markings.Min Pins are usually energetic and curious making good watchdogs who respond vigorously to the unfamiliar around the home.
