Can I Mate My Mini Doberman With My Mini Pinscher?
There is no such thing as a ‘Mini Doberman’. Either it’s a Doberman or it’s a Miniature Pinscher. (as the rather irate Mini Pin breeder quickly informed me when I went to her to get my mine). The ancestry of the Miniature Pinscher is believed to include the smaller German Short-Haired Pinscher, the Italian Greyhound and the Smooth-Haired Dachshund. The Doberman is a mixture of about several different breeds (most likely by crossing the same German Pinschers with Rottweilers, Beauceron, Greyhounds and English Greyhounds) created during the 1960s by Herr Dobermann, a part-time tax collector (and dog catcher).
