Miniature Pinscher Puppies

Miniature Pinscher puppies are a popular choice due to their diminutive size, distinct personality, intelligence, loyalty, playful nature and high-energy.  Despite their appearance, Miniature Pinschers are not related to the Doberman Pinscher.  The breed will typically have its tail docked and quite often the ears are cropped to stand erect.  Even as adults, Miniature Pinschers will top out at between 10 to 12 inches in height and normally weigh under 10 pounds.  Despite the Miniature Pinshcer's small size, the breed tends to be bold even in the face of much larger animals.  Miniature Pinschers make good apartment dogs but they can be noisy pets.  Training can also be a challenge as Miniature Pinschers tend to be stubborn.  Because they have so much energy, Miniature Pinschers need plenty of exercise and playtime.  Due to their short coat Min Pins should not be left in the cold.  However, the short coat allows for easy grooming and little shedding compared to other breeds.  Health problems include elbow, hip and eye complications and weight problems if overfed.  The following videos illustrate several examples of Miniature Pinscher puppies.
