History

2012-01-23T15:21:00.000-08:00

The Miniature Pinscher is a German breed, was originallyused to hunt rats and other small rodents. This is now primarily used as a company dog.

The breed is known by historians, since 1836, whenthe German writer Dr.H. G. Reinchenbachsaid wrote about the crossbreeding of the dachshunds with the Italian greyhound.

Another theory states that the Pinscher would have beenderived from selected matings between the Standard Pinscher, that is now extinct.

Later, another theory appearsin the United States of America, It states that minituare Pinscher, was a crossbreeding between dobermans. It is gaining more supporters.

In fact, in this country,the Doberman was introduced earlier than the Miniature Pinscher, but in fact, theMiniature Pinscher emerged decades before the Doberman.
When the progeny of the Miniature Pinscher was further discovered, it was concluded that the breed descended from various terriers in Germany, including the German Pinscher.

Other races mayhave been introduced in the blood of the Miniature Pinscher, such as the Dachshundand Italian Greyhound.

But no matter the theory, what isn't questioned is the German origin!
