I love my min pin. his name is Gucci. he is a solid 18 pounds. mostly muscle. very energetic and happy. very strong puller as well. they are always ready to learn and go on new adventures. luckily I am able to bring him to my work cause I run my own shop. he is 2 years old this november
Someone dumped a young min pin off at my barn a couple of years ago. Now they are my absolute favorite breed. It's like dealing with a tiny sassy horse!
My wife had a min pin when we got married. I had never owned a dog before in my life so I was hesitant. After spending 5 minutes with him he jumped in my lap and he has been at my side every day for 4 years since. He's my buddy and a true joy on my life. He makes dark days better, and great days amazing. He's true to his breed characteristics and is a very stubborn and independent 7 year old. I'll own min pins until the day I die. They are a gift to the families that own them.
All of these comments of people talking so fondly about their dogs and how much they love them is so pure and wholesome and warms my heart so much lol❤️
Ah, i love my min pin so much. He’s my best friend. I swear he’s the smartest dogs I’ve ever met and extremely agile. He’s so much fun and super sassy. He loves his cuddles and he has his own special blankets that he’s claimed in the house. He makes me laugh. He’s become my service dog as well and keeps me sane lol. Best dog I could ever ask for. I’m blessed to have him
Watching this video with a smile on my face bc my min pin is everything you describe and more... He wants to be kissed, hugged, and cuddled with 24/7. Wants to be next to me every min. I go to the bathroom he goes too. But he is also very independent and sociable. Loves people, especially little kids. I take him places and everyone falls in love with him. I fly with him and he just sits quietly. You wouldn't even know he is there❤
Our min pin “King Joey” was my best friend. We rescued him when he was 2 years old……in reality, he rescued us. He was the best dog anyone could ever ask for. Our home feels empty without him.
I rescued my best friend Rosco when he was about 6 months old in 2005. He was by my side every day until he passed away on October 6th 2021. Like you say, the house feels empty without him. He brought a lot of love and cherished memories into our lives.
The love of my life was a Miniature Pinscher. I had gotten her from a breeder when I was 11 years old. She was a gift from my parents. At the time, she was 4 months old. I had her for 17 years and a few months. I lost her the day after Christmas two years ago and I miss her all the time. She was my best friend. I loved her with all my heart (and still do)!
My daughter has a Min Pin but never spent time with him. I didn’t like him at all, he had bad manners (getting into the garbage, 1 & 2 in the house, not listening) he annoyed me but he was crazy about me. I started taking him on walks, beach, trails, downtown and he won my heart. His behavior improved dramatically-that was the problem all along -he just needed attention and lots of loving! I’m now his official Dad and I couldn’t love him more if I tried! ❤️❤️❤️ he is such a blessing and he never gave up on me!
Nice video. I found a mini pinscher running into traffic here in Philly a couple months ago and decided to take him home with me, deflea him and find him a good home. Well, he's the best dog I've ever had and I fell in love, so now we're forever partners. I can tell whoever had him abused him so he gets a lot of TLC, but I've had to be very firm and consistent with the training. He pretty much came housebroken, but he's fearless and has a tendency to run away if he scoots out the door because he loves to chase other dogs and cars. Today he jumped out the damn car window through a small opening while we were at a light so he could chase a terrier and smell its butt. But he's great with kids and I've never seen him snap or bite anyone. He's good with the cats but is very possessive of me and my affection and will bully the cat off of my lap so he can have me all to himself. He's also greedy with his toys. He's definitely the most affectionate, sweet dog I've ever had and he comes everywhere with me and even sleeps under the covers in the bed. I love my Tito, my lil German guy with a Mexican name. Dogs truly pick their owners, because I'm also a domestic abuse survivor and needed him probably as much as he needed me.
We had a min pin as a family pet. He passed away at 13 years old, 2 years ago due to liver cancer. He was the best and sweetest dog. We were lucky with him cause he was the calmest dog and would sleep all day, everyday. He was stubborn at times, but overall a good dog. We recently got another min pin puppy. He will be a year old in January. He is so different compared to our other min pin we had before. When we first brought him home, he was so hyper, jumping on everyone and just an energizer bunny that wouldn’t turn off. We took him to obedience training and been training him for 3-4 months now. He is more calm and sleeps most of the day. He loves playing with other dogs, and loves squeaky toys! He also likes to lay by the heat vent underneath the blanket , loves to burrow underneath his blankets too. He thinks he is a big tough boy. He is very stubborn but also very smart. So first time owners of this particular breed maybe should rethink of getting a min pin. This breed is very high strung, very active and needs a lot of physical and mental stimulation for them to be happy. So if you work full time and putting them in a crate for 4-8 hours a day, (which you shouldn’t have any dog be in a crate for long periods of time anyway) isn’t going to work. That’s when you get the unwanted behavioral issues. As far as training goes, the owner needs to be confident, consistent, and make sure your min pin knows your the boss, or this breed will take advantage. Min pins aren’t for everyone. If your looking for a lap dog, this breed wouldn’t be for you. yes, they do like to cuddle, but only on their terms. Every min pin has their own unique personality. This breed is big dog in a tiny body with huge personality which make them great companions.
Great breed! The only one I will ever have. Beautiful, athletic, smart, loving and loyal. My minpin always holds up one paw like the one in the video does. Too cute😁
I don't usually comment but I just had to share my story with my little boy Mickey, so named because he has very large ears. He was originally my sister's dog, who was 16 at the time, but she quickly grew tired of him and I took over his care and training when I was around 10. It's been thirteen years since then, and I adore him (this is saying a lot since I am very much a cat person). He knows how to sit, lay down, jump, dance, and roll over. He will follow me around the house, sit at my feet when I'm at the dining table, and wait outside the bathroom door for me. The part about them covering themselves in blankets is very much true, and I always wonder how he manages to breath when he sleeps under the covers with me but I love it nonetheless. He's like a cuddle buddy who is always there for me. The part about not liking being picked up is partially true. He will nip and bite anyone he isn't familiar with who tires, but often begs for me or my other family members to be picked up. He hardly ever barks unless someone is at the door. He is almost entirely blind now and can't dance or jump much anymore, due to his old age, but I love him regardless. If you're looking for a very affectionate, alert, smart, easily groomed, small, loyal dog, then a Miniature Pinscher is definitely a good fit for you.
Min pins are the best small dog breed! I sadly lost my best friend yesterday 😞 He was super affectionate, really cuddly, really great with children and set me on a schedule to wake up and workout since he was active. They are difficult to teach and can be stubborn but with a lot patience, effort and time they are so amazing!!! I’m going to miss him so much.
I am considering getting a MinPin. I am not in favor of of altering their natural looks. Why are their ears and tail cropped? Is it because they are going to be a show dog? Apr 25, 2020
My min pin was older when I got her. She was with an older owner who passed away. No one wanted her because she was overweight. So I just said what the heck I'll take her on. She wasn't vocal at all in the beginning but after taking her in several walks and just loving on her she started to show so much personality afterwards. I wouldn't trade her for the world. Min pins are such awesome dogs.
Jay M I adopted a senior min pin a few months ago! She’s the best! She came from a hoarding situation so due to her past she’s been a bit harder to house break but she’s doing really well!
My min-pin and I have been with one another for 4.5 years now. He has made me a better person. I'm lucky to have him. I love him very much. Thanks for the video! -mM
I have a mini pin and i love her. She's smart,kind and funny dog. My baby is very active,she like to play with toys. When my first dog past away she giving my life again. She is a great guard dog. With children she is fine. She loves a long walks😊😊
I have a 12 year old and a 1 year old Min Pin. Everything they said is indeed true! Stubborn and bossy indeed, but the most loveable and cuddliest also. I love both of my boys!
Wow. Thank you for this documentary. I have 2 mini pinscher (Koi and Alakdan) and love them so much. They sleep with us and we (my husband and I) even bring them to vacations.
Just adopted a morbidly obese 8yo min pin that an older couple gave back to the shelter after 10 months of overfeeding because he didn't like their grandchildren. It's really hard to feed him anything now because he's so unhealthy and used to human food that every dog food makes him throw up at least a little bit. I wish they'd looked into the breed a little bit more before taking him on... He's 18 pounds and even normal breathing is difficult for him. He's very shy and always on high alert but incredibly loving and protective once he gets to know you. We also discovered that he hates anything even remotely violent happening to his owners, even if it's playful. He'll even growl and snap at you if you pretend to hit yourself, so I know he really cares about keeping us safe. Love this dog.
Just lost my Angel (min pin x) a month ago to illness and she passed at home with me in our bed. I laughed and cried through this whole video. When the time is right I will be staying with this breed. Everything shared here in this video is, in my opinion, factual information. My Angel was hunting mice only a few days before she fell critically ill. And, she was proud and did feel shame or embarrassment. She served as my therapy dog for 5.5 years and I will adore her forever 💓
Best breed in the world!! Lost both of my boys @ 17 years. They both were the pride and joy of my life. Miss them more than anything. Give them love, they will give you everything and more in return. A very special breed indeed.
Adopted a 4 yr old Minion in 2018. Thankfully I have had dogs for 30 years and can handle her little bossy self. She likes big fluffy blankets and I make her dog houses out of boxes that she loves in the house!
I rescued a mini pincher from my local shelter. His name is Vader his always there for me and picks me up when I’m down. He does have strong personality and is stubborn like a mule! But love him
Just got a min pin about 5 weeks ago. I am so much happier now. Yes he is stubborn (actually that is a euphemism) so you have to contend with them. But he is so cuddly and adorable and so much fun. And a very fast learner. Very smart. When taking him for walks, I will walk as fast as possible but you cannot walk one fast enough, unless perhaps you run at a good clip. So, good exercise for me.
I Was out with my Min pin About 2 hours ago. All the sudden, i see her bolt towards something about 30 yards from where i was. I thought it was just another bird she usually chases around. So i didnt think much of it but i was wrong. She ran so fast she got about 100 yards out and i heard the cry of bloody murder. Thinking the worst i ran as fast as i could trying to catch up to her. once i finally got close enough to see what was going on (it was dark) i noticed she was trying to size up 3 coyotes surrounding her.. When the yotes saw me running towards them they scrammed along with my min pin close at there tails trying to take a chunk out of their tails! No matter how i loud i called her she kept chasing them full steam ahead.. i was finally able to grab here while the yotes being about 15 yards ahead. no joke. Not a bone in her body was afraid or shaking. She was calm like she was about to own these 3 coyotes. Im thankfull shes ok. The last thing i want is my min pin getting hurt. This Min pin is fearless and tough as nails. Always playing with the big dogs and leading the small ones. These Min pins are very loyal dogs and will try to protect you from just about anything(take it from me).
RobertG702 so glad she was ok after that chase. They can be so brave and bolt so fast. I loved my min pin. He was my prince. Unfortunately he passed away from pancreatitis a few years ago. His name was Anakin.
I had a black & tan minpin who was also a cuddle bug & loved snuggling under blankets. They are an intelligent breed. Nobody ever believed this, but it took me 3 days to train her to use the litterbox. 3 days!! The trick was using bribes which she went bonkers over.
My Min Pin is just awesome and love him so much. Matt, my min pin is very stubborn but so smart, and he actually taught himself to toss me a toy . Though he has to toss it over his shoulder, it is amazing to watch him do it. A great pet to have, but just remember they are very energetic .
I love my minpins. We have had four. First was Ellie May. Mean as the devil, tough as nails! Lived to 17. Then we got Gunner (Sharpshooter) and Gwendolyn. Gwenny was such a little baby. So sweet but full of big spirit. The two of them always broke into the garden and stole vegetables. She sadly had a stroke and passed away very young. We all were heartbroken. Now that Gunner is getting older, we got Gracie. She is keeping Gunner young. Her favorite thing is to chase! Make sure to check your blankets before sitting/lying down, because there is probably a min pin in it!
My min pin is sweet and bad sometimes like one time we put my brothers bird cage somewhere we’re my dog can jump but we thought she wouldn’t do anything next day boom we found that bird dead.
Finally a video that's honest about minpins. My dog is so stubborn, but he's also very intelligent and brave. Training is very rough, but I'm not a first time owner of dogs so it's cool.
They are wonderful companion dogs. I have a min-pin/papillon and she brings the best of both breeds to her personality. Her coat is short white and peach, with accented tuffs and has the papillon stripe up her nose. She is bossy, smart, and independent but also loves being carried around and cuddled after a long day. I treat her like a working dog when we go out and her social skills are great with big and small dogs. I plan on training her in agility. Thanks for making a video about this wonderful breed.
weird.. my min pin begs to be held up.. loves my lap...not very active..defiantly a lap dog! and he is a service dog as well... and he doesn't escape ever.. in fact i can have hi off leash in my yard with no fence.. nothing...just my command and he acts like their is a electric fence.. but there is nothing at all... lol XD he must be a rare one! and he doesn't bark at anything really and he will be quiet on command..
Faye Fury that's amazing! I'm gald you got a good one 😂. Eevee is more like that as well. She doesn't leave my side. She is a sweet heart. Itsy does not care for me. I ca hee and she will ever so often listen to me. Lol most breeds have a few sassy ones and then they have the ones that want love. And it's great seeing them both.
My min pin is definitely a cuddle bug. She does prefer to be my magnet dog but she is so gentle with our entire family. I just love this breed and their quirky personality. She's such a good dog in general. I never thought I'd have a small dog but she has definitely changed my mind. I like how they think they're bigger than they are. She's chased off big deers out of our yard to protect us. It's funny to watch her act all tough even though she's such a big baby.
I have two! Sally is a bit bigger, she’s tall and 18lbs, but still full pin. Sarge is my 8lb boy. They are very protective of kids actually. They are very mischievous too lol
I have a min-pin 10 years now. I chose this breed at first cuz I liked their look and size but turned out to be the ideal breed for me. She is such a sassy, bossy, cuddly, smart, loving little devil and I love her SO much. She is great with humans but a bit naughty with most dogs, but that's because I didn't socialize her enough when she was little. Her favorite thing to do is being covered up with a blanket and have belly rubs. Oh, and she loves eating, she could eat all day if she could
I have had both. My min pins - father, mother and daughter were show dogs although we kept them as pets. Smart, protective and loyal. My chi was rescued and she was very sweet. Both breeds lived to be in their 18/19 and I loved them both equally.
First the miniature bull terrier now this lol this is the reason I sub to this channel a long time ago after watching a few videos. Showing and teaching me of dogs I didn't know existed. KEEP IT COMING!!!!!
Hey tbere young ladys! Really luved the video. Im disabled and getting better. Once im able to care for a lil girl doggy. Its a min pin. I was in a situation after a nursing home stay. I had to live/ rent a couch in a nice home. Lil Gracie, sweetest 15yr old female minnie. She gave me cuddles and luvzz unconditionally. She passed in her 16th year. But someday, my dream is to have a lil puppy of my own. 2 yrs have passed and my reasearch is abundant and my resolve is only strengthened by that. I started to save. 10 a month for my sweety girl. It will take time but, spoil her i will. I think i love min pins as much as you do. My health will improve while raising her. Thank you. THANK you for this video.
I have one that my ghetto neighbor let run loose and almost killed by cars many times. I keep him now with my deaf pitbull. This lil min pin is hilarious. I had to keep a leash on him to catch him since he loved being out. He loves me a little more and now sleeps w me. He pushes his nose and cuddles under my blanket all night. He sleeps on top of my pitbull for naps. He leaps like a reindeer and loves to catch flies and other bugs. I catch him all the time. Hope he likes living here with Leia and I.
Erika SCWTA : Unsinn!!! Absolute nonsense! In Germany we have the Zwerg(dwarf)pinscher which is in this video called miniature pinscher. Then there is the Deutscher Pinscher (middle size) and the Dobermann , which was up to 1949 called Dobermann Pinscher. In the same breeders club is also the Zwergschnauzer, Mittelschnauzer and the Riesen(giant)schnauzer. In 1949 the Dobermann breeders leaved( or left?) the Pinscher und Schnauzerclub and formed their own club.
Erika SCWTA : Forgotten: Louis Dobermann, the creator of the Dobermann dog was a german tax collector who wanted a good protection dog, sometimes you also can read, that this man also was a nightwatchman, but i do not know, if this last fact is true.
Our 2 love blankets so much. As soon as they see me put one on me they both come running & push their way under the blanket. We have a 2 yr old black & tan (hazel) & a 7 month old one that's brown & tan (Oakley). They are wild, crazy, lovable, protective & so loyal. I will never get another dog bc these 2 are like adding 2 more kids to our family but we love it so much. You can never be sad if they are around bc they will do something goofy. I've owned so many different breeds & these girls are my favorite! They stole our hearts. Worse thing about them is training. They are very stubborn but pick up things fast. We are having issues with potty training the 7 month old. She hates going outside but little by little shes starting to like it.
I had a Chi-pin (Chihuahua / Min-Pin mix) several years ago. Had to be the smartest, most loyal, and obedient dog I have ever seen. But he was a one person dog. Everywhere I went he followed. He passed away at twelve years old. Bad heart. That was ten years ago. I still miss him very much.
I have a min-pin and he is going to turn 17 Y.O this year! ... he still in good health for his age, just a little blind......I love him sooo much!
omg is he still living?
Sexy u r
I love my min pin. his name is Gucci. he is a solid 18 pounds. mostly muscle. very energetic and happy. very strong puller as well. they are always ready to learn and go on new adventures. luckily I am able to bring him to my work cause I run my own shop. he is 2 years old this november
My dog died last year, he was 5 years old, also a mini pinscher
normaly they live til' 15 years!! O_O

Best dog breed ever! They gallop, prance and burrow under blankets, so much character and love!

It's nice but my min pin is a different breed of an escape artist he is so sneaky!

She wasn't vocal at all in the beginning but after taking her in several walks and just loving on her she started to show so much personality afterwards. I wouldn't trade her for the world. Min pins are such awesome dogs.
Jay M I adopted a senior min pin a few months ago! She’s the best! She came from a hoarding situation so due to her past she’s been a bit harder to house break but she’s doing really well!
I adopted mine when she was age 14. Never regretted this decision once. She's such a sweetheart.
My min-pin and I have been with one another for 4.5 years now. He has made me a better person. I'm lucky to have him. I love him very much. Thanks for the video! -mM
They run super fast, dont let their size fool you.
Heh when I go walking with her she's going to take me somewhere
I have a mini pin and i love her. She's smart,kind and funny dog. My baby is very active,she like to play with toys. When my first dog past away she giving my life again. She is a great guard dog. With children she is fine. She loves a long walks😊😊
My min pin LOVED being picked up.
I have a 12 year old and a 1 year old Min Pin. Everything they said is indeed true! Stubborn and bossy indeed, but the most loveable and cuddliest also. I love both of my boys!
Rip to my girl sparkle she lasted a good 12 years I miss ya girl
Wow. Thank you for this documentary. I have 2 mini pinscher (Koi and Alakdan) and love them so much. They sleep with us and we (my husband and I) even bring them to vacations.
Just adopted a morbidly obese 8yo min pin that an older couple gave back to the shelter after 10 months of overfeeding because he didn't like their grandchildren. It's really hard to feed him anything now because he's so unhealthy and used to human food that every dog food makes him throw up at least a little bit. I wish they'd looked into the breed a little bit more before taking him on... He's 18 pounds and even normal breathing is difficult for him. He's very shy and always on high alert but incredibly loving and protective once he gets to know you. We also discovered that he hates anything even remotely violent happening to his owners, even if it's playful. He'll even growl and snap at you if you pretend to hit yourself, so I know he really cares about keeping us safe. Love this dog.
You made me giggle ... my min is my world ... stubborn they are .. but oh so smart ... I love her attitude she always makes me laugh
Just lost my Angel (min pin x) a month ago to illness and she passed at home with me in our bed. I laughed and cried through this whole video. When the time is right I will be staying with this breed. Everything shared here in this video is, in my opinion, factual information. My Angel was hunting mice only a few days before she fell critically ill. And, she was proud and did feel shame or embarrassment. She served as my therapy dog for 5.5 years and I will adore her forever 💓
Best breed in the world!! Lost both of my boys @ 17 years. They both were the pride and joy of my life. Miss them more than anything. Give them love, they will give you everything and more in return. A very special breed indeed.
Got my first Min Pin pup a couple of months ago. She's such a handful but so sweet!
Just adopted a miniature pincher ❤️ I’m so excited
Welcome to a world of laughs and love.
Adopted a 4 yr old Minion in 2018. Thankfully I have had dogs for 30 years and can handle her little bossy self. She likes big fluffy blankets and I make her dog houses out of boxes that she loves in the house!
Just bought a brother and sister I will be picking them up at the end of the month when they are 8 weeks. This video makes me so excited!
Love these ladies attitudes towards their dogs.
“ A bit stubborn”well that’s the understatement of the year. 😂
Min pins are phenomenal breeds - and their lifespan is just amazing
I rescued a mini pincher from my local shelter. His name is Vader his always there for me and picks me up when I’m down. He does have strong personality and is stubborn like a mule! But love him
Love my min pin! 7 years and going strong. He cracks me up every day. King of Toys or Court Jester it just depends on the hour.
ive had mine for 7 years best dog ive ever had
Great video. I've had two min pins and they are the king of all the small dogs! They are great companions and watch dogs.
Great video!! Thank you
Just got a min pin about 5 weeks ago. I am so much happier now. Yes he is stubborn (actually that is a euphemism) so you have to contend with them. But he is so cuddly and adorable and so much fun. And a very fast learner. Very smart. When taking him for walks, I will walk as fast as possible but you cannot walk one fast enough, unless perhaps you run at a good clip. So, good exercise for me.
I Was out with my Min pin About 2 hours ago. All the sudden, i see her bolt towards something about 30 yards from where i was. I thought it was just another bird she usually chases around. So i didnt think much of it but i was wrong. She ran so fast she got about 100 yards out and i heard the cry of bloody murder. Thinking the worst i ran as fast as i could trying to catch up to her. once i finally got close enough to see what was going on (it was dark) i noticed she was trying to size up 3 coyotes surrounding her.. When the yotes saw me running towards them they scrammed along with my min pin close at there tails trying to take a chunk out of their tails! No matter how i loud i called her she kept chasing them full steam ahead.. i was finally able to grab here while the yotes being about 15 yards ahead. no joke. Not a bone in her body was afraid or shaking. She was calm like she was about to own these 3 coyotes. Im thankfull shes ok. The last thing i want is my min pin getting hurt. This Min pin is fearless and tough as nails. Always playing with the big dogs and leading the small ones. These Min pins are very loyal dogs and will try to protect you from just about anything(take it from me).
RobertG702 that is awesome I am gald she is okay. Yes they are tough little dogs. Itsy is always bossing our Rottweiler around. 😂
Sounds like you haven't trained your pet.
Glad to hear she wasn't hurt.
RobertG702 so glad she was ok after that chase. They can be so brave and bolt so fast. I loved my min pin. He was my prince. Unfortunately he passed away from pancreatitis a few years ago. His name was Anakin.
Use a leash
I have a 1yr old min pin-papillon and he’s the smartest and bossiest dog ever!! Love my man to death.
Min pins are cool little dogs. Thanks for an other good video. Keep them coming
What a fantastic Breed, Video, and Presentation by these two beautiful ladies. Bravo !
I had a black & tan minpin who was also a cuddle bug & loved snuggling under blankets. They are an intelligent breed. Nobody ever believed this, but it took me 3 days to train her to use the litterbox. 3 days!!
The trick was using bribes which she went bonkers over.
I thought I had a deer head Chihuahua until I saw this. I guess I have a red min pin. ❤️ She is amazing. So loving and cuddly. Funny.
My Min Pin is just awesome and love him so much. Matt, my min pin is very stubborn but so smart, and he actually taught himself to toss me a toy . Though he has to toss it over his shoulder, it is amazing to watch him do it. A great pet to have, but just remember they are very energetic .
Just saw one of these at a dog show, it was trying to intimidate everyone it was hilarious
This video totally makes me want a Boston Terrier.😀
So cute.....he wanted to play with Junior.... Junior the cat is bigger ....lol.....he had sweet, playful eyes....
I love my minpins. We have had four. First was Ellie May. Mean as the devil, tough as nails! Lived to 17.
Then we got Gunner (Sharpshooter) and Gwendolyn. Gwenny was such a little baby. So sweet but full of big spirit. The two of them always broke into the garden and stole vegetables. She sadly had a stroke and passed away very young. We all were heartbroken.
Now that Gunner is getting older, we got Gracie. She is keeping Gunner young. Her favorite thing is to chase!
Make sure to check your blankets before sitting/lying down, because there is probably a min pin in it!
Mine practically lives under my sheets/blankets
I dont know which is more cute! The dog or shower! Evie is soooooo beautiful!!!!!
I love min pins
THEY ARE MY FAVOIRITE DOG AND SO LOVING..
I love the Min Pin, but honestly speaking, this dog is the Devil.
nareeeely I love them. Never seen a bad one. If worked with. Ginger my min pin thinks she's the face that runs the place. Best dog ever
“All I know of heaven, and all I need to know off hell” might as well have been talking about the minpin 😂
They just need to be worked. They're not regular lap dogs.
@@jamieick8034 They are only lapdogs when they get sleepy, trying to get one on your lap without them running off is a Herculean task
My min pin is sweet and bad sometimes like one time we put my brothers bird cage somewhere we’re my dog can jump but we thought she wouldn’t do anything next day boom we found that bird dead.
Love your work zeke. You deserve alot more views than what you get. I'll keep supporting your channel.
Finally a video that's honest about minpins. My dog is so stubborn, but he's also very intelligent and brave. Training is very rough, but I'm not a first time owner of dogs so it's cool.
I have one. I love his little prance, like a fancy horse
Who’s watching this cuddled up with yours❤️
I love this beautiful dog😊❤👍🐶
They are wonderful companion dogs. I have a min-pin/papillon and she brings the best of both breeds to her personality. Her coat is short white and peach, with accented tuffs and has the papillon stripe up her nose. She is bossy, smart, and independent but also loves being carried around and cuddled after a long day. I treat her like a working dog when we go out and her social skills are great with big and small dogs. I plan on training her in agility. Thanks for making a video about this wonderful breed.
The video was very helpful, thank you! I need it, tomorrow finally I'm gonna have dogs and they're both Min Pin!
Go girls! LOVE THE BREED.....
Great production, Great ladies. Makes me want a Min Pin :-)
Lil Stars ✨ hands down❤️OMG, love em!!!
weird.. my min pin begs to be held up.. loves my lap...not very active..defiantly a lap dog! and he is a service dog as well... and he doesn't escape ever.. in fact i can have hi off leash in my yard with no fence.. nothing...just my command and he acts like their is a electric fence.. but there is nothing at all... lol XD he must be a rare one! and he doesn't bark at anything really and he will be quiet on command..
Faye Fury that's amazing! I'm gald you got a good one 😂. Eevee is more like that as well. She doesn't leave my side. She is a sweet heart. Itsy does not care for me. I ca hee and she will ever so often listen to me. Lol most breeds have a few sassy ones and then they have the ones that want love. And it's great seeing them both.
that’s how mine is!
I have a min pin service dog as well. What task is your dog trained to perform.
My min pin is definitely a cuddle bug. She does prefer to be my magnet dog but she is so gentle with our entire family. I just love this breed and their quirky personality. She's such a good dog in general. I never thought I'd have a small dog but she has definitely changed my mind. I like how they think they're bigger than they are. She's chased off big deers out of our yard to protect us. It's funny to watch her act all tough even though she's such a big baby.
Mines the same way thank you!
My four Miniature Pinschers love being picked up and teaching them tricks was also pretty easy.
I had the joy of owning one these babies. He was a great dog..I miss him. Named him Zeus..boy did he live up to that name.
Black and tan. Did we miss that because I did! I had the best one ever
Best breed ever!
I have two! Sally is a bit bigger, she’s tall and 18lbs, but still full pin. Sarge is my 8lb boy. They are very protective of kids actually. They are very mischievous too lol
Great video! Brenda & Kali are my go to girls for any dog question.
I also have 2 miniature pinscher, I love them very much
They are bossy and feisty
They are great dogs for agility too.
johan bauwens mine is soooo crazy agile lol he’s like a soccer player haha
A relative of mine had a miniature pinscher in the 80ies, he was able to climb ladders, walk on fences ... like a cat !
johan bauwens lol that’s amazing! Mine can open doors too. They are kinda cat like sometimes
Princessmadi04 yeah mine opens doors too
Bryson Chatman lol aw its so amazing what they can do!
I have a min-pin 10 years now. I chose this breed at first cuz I liked their look and size but turned out to be the ideal breed for me. She is such a sassy, bossy, cuddly, smart, loving little devil and I love her SO much. She is great with humans but a bit naughty with most dogs, but that's because I didn't socialize her enough when she was little. Her favorite thing to do is being covered up with a blanket and have belly rubs. Oh, and she loves eating, she could eat all day if she could
I have a min-pin mutt, but her personality is purebred!!! Such a smart and sassy dog.
Min-Pin and mischief are synonymous. Smart to a fault. Like little angels, running with the devil whispering in their ears.
Miss my boy Lucky he got run over at the age of 3 and now we’re raising another one hopefully Teddy will be a good boy like lucky.
I have had both. My min pins - father, mother and daughter were show dogs although we kept them as pets. Smart, protective and loyal.
My chi was rescued and she was very sweet.
Both breeds lived to be in their 18/19 and I loved them both equally.
First the miniature bull terrier now this lol this is the reason I sub to this channel a long time ago after watching a few videos. Showing and teaching me of dogs I didn't know existed. KEEP IT COMING!!!!!
Hey tbere young ladys! Really luved the video. Im disabled and getting better. Once im able to care for a lil girl doggy. Its a min pin. I was in a situation after a nursing home stay. I had to live/ rent a couch in a nice home. Lil Gracie, sweetest 15yr old female minnie. She gave me cuddles and luvzz unconditionally. She passed in her 16th year. But someday, my dream is to have a lil puppy of my own. 2 yrs have passed and my reasearch is abundant and my resolve is only strengthened by that. I started to save. 10 a month for my sweety girl. It will take time but, spoil her i will. I think i love min pins as much as you do. My health will improve while raising her. Thank you. THANK you for this video.
I have one that my ghetto neighbor let run loose and almost killed by cars many times. I keep him now with my deaf pitbull. This lil min pin is hilarious. I had to keep a leash on him to catch him since he loved being out. He loves me a little more and now sleeps w me. He pushes his nose and cuddles under my blanket all night. He sleeps on top of my pitbull for naps. He leaps like a reindeer and loves to catch flies and other bugs. I catch him all the time. Hope he likes living here with Leia and I.
I have one min pin name Rose, Love her puts a smile on me. Wears pearls.LOVE
My mini pinscher is a T H I C C B O I
Best dog's ever
Could you do a documentary about the german pinscher?
I second that.
What's the difference?
Pinscher is exclusively American doberman. The European version (the original) is simply the Doberman.
Erika SCWTA : Unsinn!!! Absolute nonsense! In Germany we have the Zwerg(dwarf)pinscher which is in this video called miniature pinscher. Then there is the Deutscher Pinscher (middle size) and the Dobermann , which was up to 1949 called Dobermann Pinscher. In the same breeders club is also the Zwergschnauzer, Mittelschnauzer and the Riesen(giant)schnauzer. In 1949 the Dobermann breeders leaved( or left?) the Pinscher und Schnauzerclub and formed their own club.
Erika SCWTA : Forgotten: Louis Dobermann, the creator of the Dobermann dog was a german tax collector who wanted a good protection dog, sometimes you also can read, that this man also was a nightwatchman, but i do not know, if this last fact is true.
I just got min pin jack russel mix hes 9 weeks old and every thing you said in this video is right on he is a force to be delt with got to luv him !!
Our 2 love blankets so much. As soon as they see me put one on me they both come running & push their way under the blanket. We have a 2 yr old black & tan (hazel) & a 7 month old one that's brown & tan (Oakley). They are wild, crazy, lovable, protective & so loyal. I will never get another dog bc these 2 are like adding 2 more kids to our family but we love it so much. You can never be sad if they are around bc they will do something goofy. I've owned so many different breeds & these girls are my favorite! They stole our hearts. Worse thing about them is training. They are very stubborn but pick up things fast. We are having issues with potty training the 7 month old. She hates going outside but little by little shes starting to like it.
I love min pins 💕
I had a Chi-pin (Chihuahua / Min-Pin mix) several years ago. Had to be the smartest, most loyal, and obedient dog I have ever seen. But he was a one person dog. Everywhere I went he followed. He passed away at twelve years old. Bad heart. That was ten years ago. I still miss him very much.
Love my min pin. The best pet I have ever owned.
I miss my min pin .😭
