Miniature Pinscher Characteristics
Demanding and stubborn. This is a big dog but in the body of a small dog so they can be too brave. Miniature Pinschers are very loyal and affectionate toward its family but aloof with strangers. They are also very social and playful animals with a high affection for families and children. However, they can get rough children and sometime aggressive with other dogs.
They love cuddling, but only when they want to do it. And, although they don’t mind a show of affection, they prefer to get it when they want to feel loved so if they decided that it’s cuddle time, then it will be cuddle time no matter what.
Min Pins tend to bark on the regular so if you are set on having a quiet household, then this may not be the right dog for you! They can also may become destructive or bark excessively if they don’t get enough exercise or attention throughout the day.
