Did you know?
Many people mistakenly refer to the Miniature Pinscher as a “Miniature Doberman Pinscher,” but that’s not correct. The Miniature Pinscher and the Doberman Pinscher are two completely different breeds, developed separately. While they may look alike, the Min Pin is actually the older breed. True to their nickname, “the King of Toys,” Miniature Pinschers are fearless, energetic, and confident little dogs who often believe they’re much bigger than their size suggests.
