About the Miniature Pinscher

The Miniature Pinscher is a small dog breed originating in Germany. Adult dogs typically weigh 8 to 11 pounds and live 12 to 16 years. The breed is described as bold, energetic, confident, curious.

Active households with secure fencing wanting a small, fearless dog with big personality. Early training channels the energy. Homes without secure fencing (the breed is a known escape artist) or families expecting a calm lap dog.

Adult Miniature Pinschers need about 40 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 50 minutes. The coat is short-coated with low shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
