The Miniature Pinscher was developed in Germany from terrier
breeds, including the
German Pinscher. ("Pinscher" means
"terrier" in German.) Italian
Greyhound blood may have
been added to produce such a tiny, high stepping dog. The
Miniature Pinscher is not related to the
Doberman Pinscher, and is
in fact an older breed than the
Doberman. The "Min-pins"
original use was in hunting rats, but his high spirit and bright
personality make him a charming companion.
