The German Pinscher was officially recognized in Germany in 1879 and has been protected and promoted since 1894 by the German Pinscher Schnauzer Club. During the years around the turn of the century, both smooth pinscher and coarse-haired schnauzer pups appeared in the same litters. The club initiated a policy requiring proof of three generations of pure smooth coats for registration. This quickly helped set type and made them a distinct breed from the Schnauzer. The German Pinscher played a role in the development of the Doberman and the Miniature Pinscher. The German Pinscher was recognized by the AKC in 2003. They have been used on farms as a vermin destroyer, herding livestock, watchdog, guard dog and family pet.

What were miniature pin bred for?

The Miniature Pinscher is a German breed. The Miniature Pinscher was developed from the Dachshund, Italian Greyhound, and the short haired German Pinscher. The breed looks like a mini Doberman, most likely because both the Miniature Pinscher and the the Doberman both were developed from the German Pinscher. The breed was used as a barnyard ratter controlling the rodent population in the stables. The Miniature Pinscher is often called the "King Of The Toys."Some of the Miniature Pinscher's talents are competitive obedience, watchdog, and agility.
