The Miniature Pinscher breed has been around for many centuries. 

This dog breed originated in Germany, but has also been bred in the Scandinavian countries for a long time. The Pinscher-Schnauzer Klub, gave the breed its initial standard. The breed continued to become more popular until World War I and then picked up again after 1919 when they began to appear in the United States. 

The Miniature Pinscher is somewhat like the Doberman, but on a smaller scale. It has a nature and way about it that reminds you of a much larger dog. He is also a valuable watchdog.
