About German Pinscher Dogs

The German Pinscher is an elegant breed that is often mistaken for a young Doberman because of the physical resemblance. Still fairly rare in North America, the breed originated in Germany, and was first accepted for registration there in 1879. Used to protect the home and to control rodents and other vermin, the German Pinscher population never reached large numbers. By the 1950's, the breed was facing extinction, but it's numbers are steadily increasing thanks to the efforts of breed enthusiasts in Europe and North America. These gorgeous, sleek, muscular dogs stand from 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder. The short, shiny coat comes in a range of colors including black and tan, and browns ranging from chocolate to red. Grooming requirements for this breed are minimal, but they do need plenty of daily exercise and they thrive on human companionship. These sensitive, highly intelligent dogs are very loyal and devoted to their families, but can be quite wary of strangers. Early and consistent obedience training is recommended.
