History of The Miniature Pinscher

The Miniature Pinscher was developed from the Dachshund, German Pinscher, and Italian Greyhound to create a lively and affective rat hunter. The name "Pinscher" means "terrier" in german, giving the little terrier its name. The breed was brought to the US in 1919 and became recognized by the AKC in 1925. Today the breed excels in many dog sports as well as a lively companion.
