Notes

One of the most famous early depictions of the Miniature Pinscher is by Lucas Cranach the Older (1472-1553), or possibly Lucas Cranach the Younger (1515-86), in Germany. The first breed clubs were founded in 1895 but it wasn't until the 1900's that any rules on how the different Pinschers should look could be set. Rumours had it that the Miniature Pinscher was crossed to Manchester Terrier, Italian Greyhound, and English Toy Terrier. Today, it is a sporty companion dog, always ready for adventure.

The Miniature Pinscher should be a square-shaped, medium sized, elegant, smooth and lively dog. The head is powerful, elongated with clear stop and deep muzzle ending in a rounded wedge. The eyes should have an alert expression. The ears are set high, erect, tipped forward or cropped. The neck is noble, arched and dry. The body should have a long chest with slight tuck up. Sloping topline with rounded rear. The dog should be as tall as it is long. Good angulation in front and hind legs. The coat is smooth, thick and hard.
