📖 About the breed

Meet the Miniature Pinscher

Despite resembling miniature Dobermans, the Miniature Pinscher is actually centuries OLDER than the Doberman — Min Pins date to 1700s Germany while Dobermans came in 1890. Min Pins were bred from German Pinscher and Dachshund crosses to hunt stable rats.

Min Pins are 5 kg dogs with 50 kg personalities. Their high-stepping hackney gait and confident swagger earned them the title ‘King of Toys’ — they truly have no idea they’re small.

Pick a name with German heritage that matches their oversized confidence.
