True or false-- Miniature Pinschers are scaled-down relatives of the Doberman Pinscher? False. Despite their similar appearances, the two breeds share no direct genetic link. Developed primarily in Germany from a small "Pinscher" dog, the breed traces its heritage for hundreds of years. Until the early 20th century, however, people living outside of Germany and Scandinavia remained unacquainted with them. Given their docile and friendly dispositions, "Minpins" made a fortunate exodus across the globe. The compact body stands ten to twelve inches at the shoulder and wears a short, smooth coat. They make excellent watchdogs and pets. Ideal Breed Characteristics Size : Males and Females 10 to 12 1/2 inches, 11 to 11 1/2 ideal (at the withers). Appearance : Compact, balanced body with lively, energetic motion. Coat and Color : Straight, stiff, short, shiny coat. Solid dark red, red with black hairs, chocolate or black with rust marks on the lips, throat, eyes, cheeks, chest, lower legs and feet. Head : Flat skull with a strong, parallel muzzle; oval, dark eyes and rims; the erect ears may be cropped. Tail : Docked (clipped) in proportion to body size, held high and erect. |
