The Miniature Pinscher (German: Zwergpinscher) is a breed of dog found in Nintendogs and its 3DS sequel.
Breed Information[]
Official artwork of the Miniature Pinscher
Among the most energetic of all breeds, the Min Pin is a motion machine. It is busy, playful, and bold. It retains terrier-like traits and tends to be stubborn and independent. It is reserved to strangers but affectionate to family.
It is a little-known fact that the Doberman Pinscher was based on the Miniature Pinscher, when a German tax-collector named Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann saw the muscular little rat-hunter and decided that a larger version would make the perfect guard dog.
Black & Tan pinschers are the most famous type, but they can also come in red and piebald. Piebald pinschers are seemingly rare compared to black & tan and red.
