WHAT ARE UNUSUAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GERMAN PINSCHER?
They are not excessive barkers, as noted above. They love to jump when greeting family and friends and should be trained to resist this temptation. German Pinschers love toys and puppies will de-squeak and de-stuff as many toys as you will give them. Also, German Pinschers will look you right in the eye and some will smile, showing their teeth in a big grin, usually when they are in trouble.
