Confident and naturally groomed in appearance, the Miniature Pinscher has become a popular pet. This book explains how to train and care for this spirited dog.

Crowned the "King of the Toys," the Miniature Pinscher is an elegant, confident and spirited Toy breed, whose reign of popularity extends beyond national boundaries. Miniature in size only, the "Min Pin," as he is affectionately called, possesses a Goliath's heart, with the courage to match, and a giant's personality, brimming with confidence and self-importance. This book provides the much-needed factual information about the Miniature Pinscher and its ancestry, character and standard, as well as proper selection, feeding, basic obedience and house-training and preventative health care. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, general safety and preventing potential puppy problems, such as chewing and separation anxiety.

In addition to an authoritative, lively text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Min Pin from puppyhood to the senior years.
