ABOUT THE BOOK

Miniature Pinschers are a unique, sassy breed with broad appeal. The Miniature Pinscher has been bred over time to handle the specific demands and requirements of farmers, so these dogs have a high-energy personality that does not waver much between individuals.

How did Miniature Pinschers make it into the hearts and homes of millions? We can only answer this question by looking back at their history. The Miniature Pinscher originates in Germany, and is surprisingly unrelated to Doberman Pinschers. This breed’s closest ancestors are the Italian Greyhound and the Dachshund, both of whom also have sleek, sporty frames.

Their characteristic cropped ears and tail, as outlined in the American Kennel Club's (AKC) guidelines, trace back to the breed's history as a hunter, as ears and tails were often cropped short to minimize the risk of damage and infection from rodent bites or errant horse hooves.

First and foremost, Miniature Pinschers’ skinny legs are prone to injuries. If you have children, special care must be taken to ensure all play is safe. On a similar note, Miniature Pinschers are prone to kneecap displacement.

Aging Miniature Pinschers are prone to hip joint degeneration, so regular veterinary examinations and possible supplementation are an excellent idea when your Miniature Pinscher reaches advanced age. Glucosamine supplementation and anti-inflammatory drugs are excellent options for arthritic pets. However, the best medicine is prevention, so do your best to provide your young Miniature Pinscher plenty of exercise to encourage the development of strong joints and bones...
