These little guys possess personality traits from both parents and means that they can sometimes be quite stubborn, only choosing to listen when they want to! As one of their parent breeds, the Miniature Pinscher is known for being a little highly strung, this means that some Pins may also possess this trait as well. However, they absolutely love 'hoomans' and get along extremely well with children. Additionally, they can potentially get on with other pets in the house as well. Their small size means they are ideal for apartments and smaller homes but they will need access to some outside space incase they have onset burst of energy! But normally, they are fairly docile dogs. However, for the right family, they make lovely pets with the potential to provide you with years of joy!
These cute little dogs are a cross between the French Bulldog and Miniature Pinscher, thought to have been developed in the United States over the last 20 years. Because they are a relatively new breed, very little is known about their history or origin. We can only assume that they were created to make everyone go 'awwww', due to their very small and cute appearance! Their size also makes them fantastic for apartment living as well.
