Lifespan
10 to 14 years
Weight
8 to 11 pounds

Grooming
Groom your Miniature Pinscher puppy starting at an early age so they learn how to sit still while being brushed. Brushing with a hound glove or soft bristle brush once a week is usually enough to get rid of loose fur and dander.
Origins
It’s unknown exactly how the Miniature Pinscher came to be – what is known for sure is that the dogs were bred in Germany and were also found throughout Scandinavia.
It’s theorised that the Miniature Pinscher is the result of breeding together the Greyhound, Dachshund, and some German Pinschers.
The Miniature Pinscher is not actually related to the Dobermann, even though they look very similar.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Progressive Retinal Atrophy
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Hypothyroidism
Nature / Temperament
Fearless, Loyal, Playful, Intelligent, Protective
Suitable Environment
Since it’s a small breed, the Miniature Pinscher is a great choice for apartment owners. However, they do need outdoor walks due to their high energy levels.
While they can be friendly with other dogs, they do have a tendency to want to be the top dog in the household. They may be best suited to a one-dog family.
Other Considerations
● Miniature Pinschers can be very vocal when they sense strangers approaching their territory.
● Due to their short coat, Miniature Pinschers are especially sensitive to cold weather and may need clothes to keep them warm.
● Miniature Pinschers have a high prey drive and may attack small objects. Keep an eye out for bottle caps, hair clips and other choking hazards that may fall on the floor.
How can I take good care of my Miniature Pinscher?
Nutrition
Miniature Pinscher puppies should always be fed premium dog food that is appropriate for the size of the breed. While they’re not especially prone to weight gain, it’s still good to weigh out their food for each meal. Clean water should be made available at all times.
Since they’re a highly active and energetic breed, the Miniature Pinscher may need more protein than more relaxed dogs. You may consult with your vet about your dog’s specific dietary needs.
Grooming
The Miniature Pinscher has a short, hard coat that doesn’t require much in the way of maintenance.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Most Miniature Pinschers will need to be bathed once every 6 to 8 weeks, but you can bathe them whenever they get particularly dirty.
Miniature Pinschers do not require regular professional grooming since their coat stays naturally short.
Because they’re a small breed, you should brush your Miniature Pinscher’s teeth with a vet-approved toothpaste 3 to 4 times a week.
Exercise
Despite their size, Miniature Pinschers are very lively and energetic. Most Miniature Pinschers will need 45 to 60 minutes of exercise each day, split into two or three smaller sessions. They tend to have bursts of energy, but do not have a great deal of stamina due to their small size.
Training
Miniature Pinscher puppies are very intelligent and perceptive dogs, and can very easily be trained starting at a young age.
Small dog syndrome is an issue with all toy breeds that remain untrained. Obedience training is the first priority for Miniature Pinscher puppies. Most Miniature Pinscher puppies can be trained soon after coming home from the breeder.
Some owners enrol their Miniature Pinscher puppies in training classes to improve recall and obedience. If you do, ensure that the training methods are based on positive reinforcement.
No, Miniature Pinscher puppies need to be near their owners or family members. While they can be independent and self-assured dogs, they do not tolerate being alone for very long. They are also small enough to be picked up by birds of prey if they are left unattended in a yard.
No, Miniature Pinschers are not aggressive towards humans or other dogs. They are naturally wary and may bark at strangers. They may be possessive of their food and toys if they are not socialised, but that can be addressed with proper training and socialisation.
