This german breed , called Zwergpinscher in its native land , has been known since the 16th century , it was originally used for ratting , but over time breeders have refined the once-stocky build to create a lighter , more agile dog that has become a popular companion .despite a resemblance to a tiny dobermann, the two breeds are not directly related.
Pincher means terrier or biter and this breed remains a terrier inside , willing to challenge dogs much larger than itself , the min pin is energetic , confident , and curious and combined with its fearless nature , these qualities make it an effective small guard dog
