Dwarf Doberman - what is he like?

"The dwarf Doberman does not cause discontent and irritation, knows neither timidity nor fear. Thanks to his innate intelligence, he is able to pass the exams of guard dogs, and miniaturization is not a hindrance here!" These words were written about pinscher by Werner Jung. To challenge the opinion of a person who has devoted his whole life to the breed is stupid.

At the peak of popularity...

Let's not dwell on the details of the exterior of the pinscher (popularly called a dwarf Doberman), because this information is easy to find in all known sources: dog magazines, books, websites, forums. We will remember the general features of its appearance, the history of the formation of the breed, talk about the characteristics of the character and get acquainted with the basics of care.

So, the dwarf Doberman (the price, first of all, depends on the "stardom" of his parents and compliance with the standard) is the smallest representative of pinscher and schnauzers. Today, this breed is at the peak of popularity, and interest in it is growing, the number of nurseries engaged in its breeding is increasing annually.

A bit of history...

The dwarf Doberman was bred about a century and a half ago. At home (Germany) he was called "ratler", or "rat catcher" (rattler-rattenfanger). This occupation, most likely, was the first purpose of the breed. However, soon the dwarf Doberman began to guard the yards and accompany the wagons. Now it has been renamed the "stable pinscher".

Then they were both smooth-haired and rough-haired dogs. The former have now "turned" into pinscher, and the latter into affenpinscher, Schnauzer. The dwarf pinscher received recognition in 1880 . At the same time, a description was made and a standard was compiled. 15 years later, Josef Bert founded the first "Pinscher Club". Officially, the standard was adopted only in 1967. They tried to refine the breed as much as possible. Doberman Pinscher appeared before us such a handsome man thanks to the efforts of breeders.

In Russia, for unknown reasons, the breed did not take root for a long time. The dwarf Doberman, which does not attract the attention of breeders, practically "disappeared" into the back streets of home breeding, which gave its "fruits". We still meet small dogs resembling a dwarf Doberman, with bulging eyes, hysterical, angry and poorly controlled. Fortunately, the breed found recognition in Europe and continued to develop. At the end of the last century, representatives of the pinscher began to be imported back to Russia. It was the second birth of a dwarf Doberman, this time very successful.

A little bit about care and upbringing

A cheerful, cheerful and charming dog may well brighten up the loneliness of elderly people or become a companion for a young couple. However, the breed is definitely not suitable for those who dream of buying a live little toy for a child.

The upbringing of this pinscher should be fair enough and, of course, consistent, otherwise the owner of the house will not be a man, but a dog.

Her care is as simple as possible. Periodic (but not frequent) shampooing and combing is enough. With proper care, the dwarf Doberman will always be a handsome man with a shiny coat ready for exhibitions. The dog loves long walks, but sometimes you can do with a short walk. We can say that this dog is not picky about food. The basics of nutrition are also applicable to the pinscher.
