The Miniature Pinscher is a toy breed ... the
smallest of the three most popular Pinscher
breeds in the UK - Min Pin, German Pinscher
and Dobermann.

Essentially a terrier, as the word ‘pinscher’
implies, it is an older breed than the Dobermann
and German Pinscher and served a useful
purpose as a ‘ladies lap dog’ and ‘ratter’ - the
two jobs being synonymous I’m sure!

Most members of the Club are pet owners
and for them we are truly thankful for how
could we ‘breeders’ otherwise justify breeding
a litter for one ‘show’ puppy? Some of us do
successfully show our dogs and get a great deal
of enjoyment from this as well as regular lessons
on balancing the books!

However I think there is no argument as to
whether showing or agility is more fun .... agility
wins hands down, if you are fit enough to
participate! Cathy Allan’s dogs are the perfect
illustrators!
