Brief History
The Miniature Pinscher is a German dog which was originally bred several hundred years ago to kill rats and other small vermin in homes and factories. This breed is commonly mistaken for a miniature version of the Doberman, but despite their startling resemblance the Min Pin actually pre-dates the Doberman by quite some time. The breed's popularity skyrocketed after World War I when German and Scandinavian breeders increased their efforts to develop the Min Pin and the breed was brought to the USA.
