Crowned the "King of the Toys," the Miniature Pinscher is an elegant, confident and spirited Toy breed, whose reign of popularity extends beyond national boundaries. Miniature in size only, the "Min Pin," as he is affectionately called, possesses a Goliath's heart, with the courage to match, and a giant's personality, brimming with confidence and self-importance. This book provides the much-needed factual information about the Miniature Pinscher and its ancestry, character and standard, as well as proper selection, feeding, basic obedience and house-training and preventative health care. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, general safety and preventing potential puppy problems, such as chewing and separation anxiety.
