Are Miniature Pinschers mini-Dobermans? Do they act like Dobermans?
Response: No. Actually the Miniature Pinscher breed was created long before the Doberman. We like to say they look like us, only larger. Miniature Pinscher act similar to Dobermans in that Miniature Pinscher are very owner oriented, whether a single person or couple or a whole family. They protect their homes, play with children, and sleep on the bed. They try to be ferocious when needed. If not trained properly Miniature Pinschers can be snappy and unpleasant to be around.
