The Miniature Pinscher - the bundle of energy in a small format
Black-brown coat, always on the ball and ready to protect its family? When you look at the Miniature Pinscher, it seems as if you are dealing with a Doberman in short-legged form. But even though they have a degree of kinship through roundabout ways, the Pinscher in its larger form and the Miniature Pinscher in its smaller form are distinct breeds.
What to expect if you want to enrich your family with a Miniature Pinscher can be found here.

Character and Traits
With its sporty nature, the Miniature Pinscher proves to be a very agile companion in everyday life. Originally bred for hunting and as a guard for the yard, this little four-legged friend is considered extremely robust and protective. This trait becomes particularly evident when encountering other dogs, which is why early socialization with four-legged friends of all sizes is important.
Affectionate and loyal - this best describes the soft side of the little Pinscher. It quickly forms a close bond with its owner, which is unique and always refers to a specific person. Nevertheless, it is also open and obedient to the rest of the family - making it well-suited as a family dog.
Training and Care
Due to its willingness to learn and clever character, the Miniature Pinscher is easy to train. However, this should ideally begin with the arrival of the little furball, as it starts to make its presence known loudly very early on.
For its size, it has not only a healthy dose of self-confidence but also at least as much energy, which the Miniature Pinscher prefers to expend on long walks in the woods. Plenty of exercise is essential for this breed - thus, it is only suitable for apartment living if there are enough green paths nearby to let off steam.
Being alone is probably the biggest weakness of the Miniature Pinscher: Due to its attachment, it has a hard time coping with it. Since the little four-legged friend is very strong-willed, it is difficult to persuade it to stay quietly alone for several hours a day. However, with early training, this can - varying from dog to dog - at least work partially.
Our Mini Line: Perfect for little gourmets
Our →Mini Line perfectly caters to the needs of small dog breeds. Doesn't taste good? Not possible! Small and toy breeds have very special demands when it comes to food: A small jaw that only really enjoys chewing small food pieces. The energy requirement is relatively higher than that of large dogs - precise portion sizes are therefore even more important. And they are, of course, little gourmets! With our Mini Line, we not only meet the specific health requirements of small dogs regarding their food but also ensure that our smallest customers enjoy it thoroughly.

Carefully selected raw materials of the best quality combined with a fluffy, loose consistency, a special recipe, and a pleasant smell allow for particularly high acceptance of our Mini wet food - even among picky little four-legged friends!
