Miniature Pinschers
The Miniature Pinscher originated in Germany, but it has
been bred in Scandinavian countries. It is not related to the Doberman
Pinscher at all.
It is noted for its lively temperament and intelligence. The Min Pin is
proud, vigorous, and playful, even in his old age. It is an ideal size for a
house dog.
The Miniature Pinscher is very possessive of his loved ones, fearless when
on guard, and is an alert watch dog. You can see more about the min pins in
the AKC Standards.
Precious
members of the family are four min pins. Their personalities are so very
different. Kovu (male) is rather macho. While
Kiara (female) is quite
the people dog. She loves to be held while he would rather just cuddle up next to
you. Rusty (male) is a mixture of Kovu and Kiara. He shares a lot of the
machoness of Kovu but still is gentle like Kiara. Rufina (female) is the
biggest baby of them all. She is about half their size and just loves to
be in someone's lap.
As you can see here, Kovu and Simba get along just great. You would think they are best buds.
This is Kovu at about 7 months of age.
