The miniature pinscher is a toy dog breed that was originally bred rid homes and businesses of mice and vermin. Many people think the miniature pinscher is a smaller version of the doberman dog breed, but they are two separate dog breeds. The breed is often called the "King of Toys" due to their behavior, character, and mannerisms.
Mini pinschers have a strong pack leader mentality and if you don't fit that role, they will fill it for you. This can make the breed a bit challenging for inexperienced dog owners. Unlike other toy dog breeds, the mini pinscher is sturdy and can tolerate rougher play without injury than similar sized dogs.
