It cannot be stressed strongly enough the importance of early socialisation which must include introducing Min Pins to lots of new situations people noises other animals and dogs once they have been fully vaccinated so they mature into relaxed and easy going little adult dogs. This is especially true as they can be a little aggressive towards other dogs if they have not been well enough socialised when young and will happily take on much larger dogs which often gets them into a trouble. Older Min Pins need lots of special care because as they reach their golden years they are more at risk of developing certain health concerns. Physically a dog's muzzle may start to go grey but there will be other noticeable changes too which includes the following: 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.S. before the Miniature Pinscher. In 1919, the Miniature Pinscher was introduced to the AKC show ring. At the time, not knowing that it was referred to officially in Germany as the Zwergpinscher (little biter), the AKC referred to the breed as simply "Pinscher" and listed it in the miscellaneous category. When the Miniature Pinscher Club of America (MPCA) was created in 1929 (the year of the breed's official introduction into the AKC), they petitioned for Miniature Pinschers to be placed in the Toy group.

Miniature Pinschers were first recognised by the American Kennel Club in 1925 and classed as “Terriers”. Four years later in 1929 The Miniature Pinscher Club of America was founded. It was not until 1930 that Min Pins were classed as being a Toy breed. The breed was eventually renamed the Miniature Pinscher in 1972. Miniature Pinscher puppies are boisterous and full of life which means it's essential for homes and gardens to be puppy-proofed well in advance of their arrival. A responsible breeder would have well socialised their puppies which always leads to more outgoing confident and friendly dogs right from the word go. With this said any puppy is going to feel vulnerable when they leave their mother and littermates which must be taken into account. The longer a puppy can remain with their mother the better although it should never be for too long either. The Miniature Pinscher hails from Germany where they have always been highly prized for their looks their loyalty and they ultra-courageous natures.
