Favorite Miniature Pinscher Comments

The Miniature Pinscher is an ideal family pet. He is a healthy, long-lived dog, whose small size and spirited personality allow him to maintain his youthful appearance throughout his lifetime. Intelligent and trainable, he also enjoys all forms of competition, from basic obedience exercises to advanced Utility, Tracking, and Agility.
