Miniature Pinscher Puppies for sale in New York

The Miniature Pinscher, often called the “Min Pin”, is a spirited Toy breed that actually predates the Doberman Pinscher by nearly two centuries. Originating in Germany, this small yet confident dog was bred to hunt rats in stables and homes. Believed to descend from the Dachshund, German Pinscher, and Italian Greyhound, the Miniature Pinscher quickly gained fame for its fearless attitude and lively personality. Recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1925, the Min Pin now stands as one of the most energetic and self-assured breeds in the Toy group.

Miniature Pinschers are compact and athletic, known for their graceful, high-stepping gait and alert posture. Despite their small size, they are bold, protective, and sometimes unaware of their own limits. Intelligent but stubborn, they respond best to firm, consistent training and early socialization. Min Pins form strong bonds with their families and do well with older children who respect their space. Their short, sleek coat requires minimal grooming—just occasional brushing and infrequent baths to maintain its shine. With daily walks and active playtime, this energetic breed thrives in homes that can match its enthusiasm. Light shedders but not hypoallergenic, Miniature Pinschers make loyal, entertaining companions for active families.
