Miniature Pinscher

The Miniature Pinscher, also known as the "Min Pin" and nicknamed the "King of Toys," packs a big personality into a compact body. This animated and elegant dog is surprisingly athletic and energetic, boasting a unique "hackney" gait that mimics the high-knee action of a trotting horse and reflects its courageous spirit. Their dark, expressive eyes and high-set ears contribute to their self-assured and alert demeanor. 

Their short, smooth coat is lustrous and comes in a variety of colors, including solid red, chocolate, and rust, or black and rust. Despite what you might think, they are not a miniature version of the Doberman Pinscher. In fact, the Miniature Pinscher is the older of the two breeds.
