If they are not given the right amount of mental stimulation and exercise every day a Min Pin would quickly get bored and could even begin to show some destructive behaviours around the home which is their way of relieving the stress they may be feeling. They also love to dig which owners need to bear in mind when they let a dog roam around a back garden. Little Billy (points off for that name) goes off on an adventure to the woods, despite his mother's warning.

The misconception that the Miniature Pinscher is a "miniature Doberman" occurred because the Doberman Pinscher (a breed developed by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann around 1890) was introduced to the U. As such they advise neutering males and spaying females when they are between the ages of 6 to 9 months old and sometimes even when a dog is 12 months old.

The Minpins - Wikipedia

Roald Dahl has worked his magic with The Minpins, creating wonderful creatures of childhood fantasy and loyalty between friends with amazing illustrations by Patrick Benson. The Miniature Pinscher originated in Germany, where they have always been highly regarded for their looks, loyalty and extremely courageous nature. The Min Pin has a square compact body with nice straight topline and their bellies are moderately tucked up. I would recommend this book for children who are towards the end of Key Stage One to Year Three as they could enjoy the different characters with a better understanding, and relate to Little Billy's boredom of just sitting at home 'being good'.If a dog starts to put on weight it's important to adjust their daily calorie intake and to up the amount of exercise they are given.

Care should always be taken when they are around smaller animals and pets just to be on the safe side because a Min Pin might see them as "fair game". It's best to feed a mature dog twice a day once in the morning and then again in the evening making sure it's good quality food that meets all their nutritional requirements.They boast having a ton of energy and true to their "terrier" roots they can be extremely tenacious when it suits them.
