Such a lovely breed. Easy to love, therefore, very much missed when they leave us ❤ I had a hybrid min pin who was also the love of my life. I'll never forget her ❤🪽
I got one when I was ten, and she lived to be sixteen. I can say that so far, I've spent more time of my life with her than without her. She was an inseparable companion who always stayed by my side and had to be with me no matter what. The loyalty of a Miniature Pinscher is unquestionable! I miss her a lot...
I had a min pin for 14 years. She was my best friend. My wife did not want a dog at first, but within a few weeks they were best friends. I really miss her.
Thanks for posting, we love our little guy. He’s my alarm dog. He makes me aware when the oven timer goes off if Im in another part of the house or if I have a timer set for the drip lines. He never lets me ignore the buzzing. We got an inexpensive $23 no shock no bark collar from amazon & it worked now he doesn’t even need it anymore. We got a dog heating pad for on top of his pillow & then covered by his fuzzy rug. We keep it at 85 degrees in our warm house. He loves it., provides warmth all night unlike human heating pads that shut off. We work from home so he’s on our laps all day. He goes out in the yard “to take a break” several times each day with the big dog & gives all the neighbor dogs a brief lecture, ha! we used to supervise his outside tine cause he ate a chunk of dirt anyway looked like it., but now he races out with the big dog, does his thing. & runs back in. Update: beware if you have one of these guys because anything that hits the floor goes immediately into his mouth even if its a piece of plastic. If it was a pill or a tiny battery it could be very serious.
We had a wonderful little min pin. He lived to a ripe old age and provided many chuckles to our family! He was very curious and constantly got himself into funny situations. Miss him greatly. He had lots of personality!
Ziggy our minpin is so smart, he loves everyone who visits us, and very social. He learns quickly, and if by chance he gets outside I just shake his treat bag and he comes running back. He steals everything, will eat anything, and can be challenging, but very affectionate little dog. Very loyal, awesome dog.♥️♥️♥️😁
I have one living with me on my yacht. He was saved from a bad part of Venezuela as a feral dog where he was barely living on scraps he could find. He is a lovely little dog, well trained and quick to learn and the best boat guard I could ever wish to have. I don't have to worry about him not coming back to me as he's on my heels always. The sad thing is that he won't play or swim but I don't really care as he's my tiny friend
@@anna-wt2tz Honestly, for a while not the best food. Just regular purina one. He got into the cat food when he was 14 and was got pancreatitis so from 14 until he passed away last October he was on Hill Prescription food low fat. I think I just got blessed with him cause he got into the trash and ate some stuff he shouldn’t have so many times.
Have a great minpin Ziggy. Stubborn and independent but learns quickly. Treats me differently than my son. He's his play pal and I'm his comfort friend, best dog ever.♥️♥️♥️
I had a min pin. He was so funny, Lovable, energectic, protective and spoiled all wrapped up in a Little dog body. He kept me constantly entertained. When i got him as a pup he was so tiny. I thought to myself. Was this the right choice? As it turned out. It was.. it was Love at First sight for both of us. . He grew up to be the best little 4 legged friend. He lived to be 15 years old. Miss you Buddy..
I have a 1 yr old pinscher (turning 2 in 2 months) and he's a very good watchdog/guarddog. Very good hearing and smell and will go to the door and watch if he hears anything especially footsteps. Also very playful and mine would not sleep at night if he's not beside one of us. If we wake up and go out of the room, he'll wait for us to come back (literally). Best dog breed, really.
We have a minpin...the best most intelligent dog I've ever had. Ziggy figures out how to solve problems. He taught himself how to open a sliding door, is an escape artist and communicates with us like a human. He alerts when strangers arrive. But he is a glutton with food. He wakes me up with a tap of his paw, obeys me. Yes he is loud but it's okay. ♥️
11 years ago I rescued a little dog. I took her to my vet and asked “ what the heck is this ? “ my vet told me she was a Min Pin, a what ? Got her all fixed up brought her home and she killed 3 of my chickens, shredded them. So what do I do? I trained her for aaaaaa lllooonnngggg tttttiimmee. My baby has slept next to me for 11 years. Is she friendly, no. But when she knows you she loves you. God Bless my little Lacy. Spoiled Rotten.
I currently have a spoiled, rotten, and cute little Min Pin. I can’t wait to see all of the adventures we do together as he gets older. (currently 1 years old). Moses is very confident and thinks he can be a big dog too, love the little guy!
Now 63yo, I lived in the same household as a min pin when I was in high school. She was the coolest dog. The personality of min pins is accurately described in the video. If you can't take a bit of excessive barking, they are not the dog for you. But other than that they are absolutely adorable, affectionate, energetic, brave, loyal (as most dogs), easy to care for, and very alert. They make very good home alarms. And heck, they wouldn't be such great watchdogs if they weren't a bit yappy. I am looking to get a dog knowing that I am going to be living by myself and will have the time to devote to a dog. The min pin seems a good choice for my situation.
Me and my daughter love our min pin. He is so affectionate, he does bark a lot as he wants to be in on everything and doesn’t want to be left out, however he is happy to be left for a few hours as long as he’s comfy. He is attached to my daughter and hates when she leaves him. Overall.. playful, affectionate and loves anyone or anything, even cats that stray in his garden.
We rescued my dog Frankie at the county pound when he was approximately 12 weeks old. I first noticed him as the ingest paperwork described him as a “Vizsla Mix” (ha-ha: not true.) My Vizsla had passed away at 11 years old and we said we would definitely get another Vizsla if we could find a mini size. Frankie is red in color, but his eyes and nose color are out of standard for the Red Min-Pin, and he is large (22 lbs).…..however all his traits match the description in this video perfectly. Regardless of his potential mix or pure-breeding, he is a very good dog who we love. He is ten working on eleven, and we hope to have him for many more years to come.
All together we have had 7 Min Pins. All but one was rescued. We have 2 at the moment but usually have 4 at a time. Unfortunately we lost 2 in the past year. I love this breed & wouldn't have any other. But unfortunately in our area it is hard to find another one to adopt. We usually adopt from IMPS. LOVE my girls!! 🐾❤🐾
I’ve always had Labs but am now a Min Pin convert! Buddy’s ten years old and going strong. Affectionate and also hilarious. I often think he’s more the court jester not the King. He like a tiny rambunctious horse around the house.
They are hilarious! I have a MinChi now who makes everyone laugh with his antics. Also had another min pin mix who was less cocky, but very smart. The two of them together were double the fun ❤
Thanku for this video, very informative advice....im adopting 2x 7yr Olds end of January when i get back to my country... Your video gave me a good insight in how and what to watch out for..i only adopt older dogs and each time they pass on I say nevvvvvver again, so much heartbreak, but here i go again. ...I've only had them for a visit one full day before I left, they were very good...they very small, I was afraid 😨 that I might break them when I picked them up, they didn't know me at all, but being an animal lover there was an immediate connection..Wonderful advice, 😊 looking very forward to my new barbies...
I jist had ro put my min pin down last week . Had her since she was 8 weeks old to 15 yrs old ! Im still devestated , cried for 4 days 😭😭😢😢 Lord knows i miss my baby ! Rip Mimi
Min pins are the best dogs you could have🐕💖just lost mine 15 year old boy, a dog of a lifetime🐶💔🖤✝️🙏you can only have that kind once in your life, thank you Simo🐶😘💕🙏
I've had so many different breeds but minpins are by far the best. I'd never recommend them for first time, or timid dog owners. If you aren't the leader they will take over as alpha. They are absolutely the most entertaining breed, total clowns. When they've been bad, which is often, they figure out exactly how to play you to get out of trouble. They could teach a master class in table begging. They will torment your cat all day, then cuddle up to sleep with the cat at night. My favorite is the clear red.
Yeah, their bold personalities and smarts require an assertive, straightforward person for sure. But those same traits are also what makes them funny. Very bossy, fearless and curious.
I agree with these remarks about this breed. My mini pin is lovable and great around small children because of my training. I would definitely not recommend if you never had other dogs to train. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you for the insight, very educational. My nephew wanted a puppy and we got him a min pin. Very adorable and cute. Thank you,this is a most suitable breed for our lifestyle 🙏🏽
Oh yes! He's 4 and full of all of what you said in the video! His name is Scrappy i don't need to explain why lol. He loves his cat sister she's 1 very protective of her. And of course my hubby and i. I wouldn't want it any other way
Same! He loves his two (cat) sisters and me and his Mamaw and Aunts. He’s 17 and I’ve had him since he was 3 weeks old after his mom was run over (she got out and got hit by a car). His name is Rascal and he has lives up to that name
My Min Pin loves people and kids and gets along well with other dogs that are not too large. He is mischievous though, is a trash digger, and will jump on couches and chairs to get at food. You can never leave your food unattended around him!
I use to deliver water to this house that had a min pin and when I would put the bottle right outside the wrought-iron gate this dog would spring into the air 4 1/2 to 5 ft sometimes from standing still. I have always wanted a min pin.
Good Video, but Min pins, yes are very loud and loyal. Any dog can run away and many do not,. My min pins escaped many times but stay near, come back and stay with me at all times
I had a small breed dog and when I went to give her a bath she clawed up my tub. I went on TH-cam to find a solution. I found a cat getting a bath on a window screen. I thought the claws would not go through the screen and I thought the screen might be ruff on her little puppy paws. I came up with using a roll of puffy drawer liners from the 99 cent store. You can reuse it just hang dry after use. I just cut off just a little bit longer then her stance and saved the rest. No more clawing the tub and her footing was more secure.
Strong prey drive since they were ratters. My girl was sweet, smart and listened well, but when that prey drive kicked in, she was gone. Therefore, she was always on a lead in public. Best, most lovable dog ❤
I just got a min pin from the shelter. They told me he was 4 years old but my vet said he is more like 6 or 7. He gets along with my dog Barney a shelty mix and my cats. He is a bit stubborn and did not know any tricks when I got him so I taught him to sit. I will try and get him to learn more but he is no where near as smart as my shelty mix Barney.
With small dogs you have be care full of their hearts I just laid down a Chihuahua 6 months ago. She started to drink water very loudly ! Then the next week she started breathing funny that day we rushed her to a Emergency Vets office and it was to late. So please if you see this sign in your small breed animal rush them to the Vet.
Great dogs, but they require a lot of attention. They don't just bark...they have a wide and impressive variety of vocalizations. After a while, you know exactly what your min pin wants simply by listening to its vocalizations. Ours is about 2 years old now and he's experiencing some teenager-style issues. It seems, if you don't fix your male dog, they reach a period of extreme anxiety related to mating. They will yelp/scream like they are injured and in intense pain. Very scary when you hear it, but the vet said it's a common issue for this breed.
Minpins generally do not like cats, and will chase after squirrels, birds and other small animals. And since minpins are like miniature guard dogs they also bark a lot.
Too intense for you? Hope you hired a trainer because they do have strong personalities. They're not for first-time dog owners unless you're willing to put in the time.
I've been having mine for 3 weeks and I must say his lil ass is bad. He can't stand not to have attention and always want to chew on something. Just like any other kid he has to be taught what you want out of him. Overall I done fell in love and he's family for life.
We put a long skinny line on ours cause it’s easier to catch him. He’s so quick! Easier to train when we can get him immediately & reward or stop whatever he’s up to. The TH-cam videos of min pin puppies doing tricks proves they can do complicated tricks.
I want to get a minpin so much I'm used to owning pitbulls growing up but I live in a apartment & I have a daughter that's 7yrs old so I'm hesitant but I really want 1 any advice?? Y'all??
If you have an apartment, think about the barking. I had one in an apartment and he barked about once every two minutes when we were out of the house. It drove my neighbors nuts. At the dog park, other owners were afraid of him because he barked a lot. He was just saying, let's play. He got to play with some Yorkies, once. They bark a lot, so the owner was happy to see someone who wasn't afraid of a barking dog. He learned quickly, if it mattered to him. I showed him how to sit before I would let him chase geese. It took him one time to get it.
I WROTE A BEAUTIFUL COMMENT ABOUT MY MINI PINCHER ,AND YOU DELETED.ANY WAY ,I DON'T THINK SO NO BODY READ THEM? I WROTE WITH ALL MY HEART AND YOU DELETED, DEFINITELY THIS COMMENT ARE FAKE.? THAT WAS RIGHT YOU ERASED MY COMMENT WITH ALL MY HEART?
Literally didn’t know I was getting a Min Pin absolutely don’t like this dog at all. He’s untrainable have had for 9 months really thinking about taking him to the dog shelter. His name X cause he stay on 10. He was a unwanted birthday gift my boyfriend bought they told him it was a apple head chihuahua soon as I saw the dog I knew it was not a chihuahua because I have had that breed before.
Should your boyfriend get serious in your (plural) relationship, seek counseling. I am an attorney. You both need to find if your attitudes are compatible. Should you still want to place your dog, I am interested.
If you are thinking about getting rid of the dog do it now! Don’t wait for it to get older. It’s easier to rehome a dog the younger it is. Please don’t ever get another dog.....if you aren’t 100% sure you will keep one for it’s entire life then you shouldn’t have one.
And you would have liked a Chihuahua even more? Like wtf, don't get a dog if it being energetic isn't for you. That's kind of what you get with any dog. I'll take your min pin, they're amazing dogs.
We just got our Min Pin 3 weeks ago and i'm already training him , you cannot be in a hurry to get him to listen as they learn in small increments. You have to act as the alpha in front of him and you absolutely have to be patient with them. My Min Pin is already showing signs of loyalty, and he's still young ( 2 years old ). If i put in the work to train him in 9 months he should be very well behaved. Try getting a dog trainer to help out. Dogs aren't the problem, people are.

I have raised my min pin from 8 weeks to almost 17 yrs. Toby was everything mentioned. I miss him greatly every day. He was the love of my life.
im shedding a tear for Toby, ive raised my female min pin Molly since she was 5 months and she is 5 now

I love minpins! I have 4 of them, 15, 14, 11 and 7 years old. They're wonderful companions!
I have, he's 17, still kicking, some blindness but will be getting another. THE BEST, VERY LOYAL & PROTECTIVE !!
I have one living with me on my yacht. He was saved from a bad part of Venezuela as a feral dog where he was barely living on scraps he could find. He is a lovely little dog, well trained and quick to learn and the best boat guard I could ever wish to have. I don't have to worry about him not coming back to me as he's on my heels always.

My sweet boy turned 17 in July.
nice to hear
heyy, I know this is a random question but what did you feed him for him to live that long? I've been looking at different companies, thank you.
@@anna-wt2tz Honestly, for a while not the best food. Just regular purina one. He got into the cat food when he was 14 and was got pancreatitis so from 14 until he passed away last October he was on Hill Prescription food low fat. I think I just got blessed with him cause he got into the trash and ate some stuff he shouldn’t have so many times.
That’s beautiful.. my childhood min pin was 15… and my min pin girl is 8 now🥰
@@chrismena832TX yesterday would have been his 18th birthday! I pray you have lots of years with your baby girl!
Have a great minpin Ziggy. Stubborn and independent but learns quickly. Treats me differently than my son. He's his play pal and I'm his comfort friend, best dog ever.♥️♥️♥️
I have a Min Pin and i will stick to this breed forever, they are the best❤️
I had a min pin. He was so funny, Lovable, energectic, protective and spoiled all wrapped up in a Little dog body. He kept me constantly entertained. When i got him as a pup he was so tiny. I thought to myself. Was this the right choice? As it turned out. It was..
it was Love at First sight for both of us. .
He grew up to be the best little 4 legged friend. He lived to be 15 years old. Miss you Buddy..

My Iggy I about 10 (not sure she was a rescue) she does like exercise she is content on sleeping under a blanket all day long!
I use to deliver water to this house that had a min pin and when I would put the bottle right outside the wrought-iron gate this dog would spring into the air 4 1/2 to 5 ft sometimes from standing still. I have always wanted a min pin.
They're very agile and fast. I liken my MinChi to a rubber ball. He just bounces everywhere.
Good Video, but Min pins, yes are very loud and loyal. Any dog can run away and many do not,. My min pins escaped many times but stay near, come back and stay with me at all times
lucky guy
because you treat them well
Whenever we have to take our little guy anywhere we put a long lead on him so he’s easier to catch cause he’s so fast.
I had a small breed dog and when I went to give her a bath she clawed up my tub. I went on TH-cam to find a solution. I found a cat getting a bath on a window screen.

Yes I do! I love my min pin 🥰
I have an adorable min pin she is so cute and adorable a very loving and kind dog..
min pins escape artist is the same as a the one of the husky breed, important to teach your pooch the stop, stay, recall technique asap.
Strong prey drive since they were ratters. My girl was sweet, smart and listened well, but when that prey drive kicked in, she was gone. Therefore, she was always on a lead in public. Best, most lovable dog ❤
Your assessment is spot on ;)
doberman pinchers were created to be large min pins, my mans created the breed based on the min pin characteristics, but wanted a larger dog.
Thank God they don't weigh 100 LBS.
hell on wheels
Min Pins are the best
Mine only had one of those cons, he liked to sneak out.
For the record there is no bad owning a MinPIn. 😀
just somewhat challenging at times, but rewarding overall.
Mischievous little dogs 😂
Mines a wise jailbreker lol.
I just got a min pin from the shelter. They told me he was 4 years old but my vet said he is more like 6 or 7. He gets along with my dog Barney a shelty mix and my cats.

Great dogs, but they require a lot of attention. They don't just bark...they have a wide and impressive variety of vocalizations. After a while, you know exactly what your min pin wants simply by listening to its vocalizations. Ours is about 2 years old now and he's experiencing some teenager-style issues. It seems, if you don't fix your male dog, they reach a period of extreme anxiety related to mating. They will yelp/scream like they are injured and in intense pain. Very scary when you hear it, but the vet said it's a common issue for this breed.
Minpins generally do not like cats, and will chase after squirrels, birds and other small animals. And since minpins are like miniature guard dogs they also bark a lot.
I wish i watched this before i got my min pin
Shame,why??
Too intense for you? Hope you hired a trainer because they do have strong personalities. They're not for first-time dog owners unless you're willing to put in the time.
The min pin on the thumbnail is a Chihuahua lol.
🤣🤣🤭...true...
Cute putchlings!
I liked the escape artist comment...mine won't go 5 foot without me. Guess every dog is different.
I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL COMMENT, I WROTE WITH ALL MY MINIATURE PINCHER
I've been having mine for 3 weeks and I must say his lil ass is bad. He can't stand not to have attention and always want to chew on something. Just like any other kid he has to be taught what you want out of him. Overall I done fell in love and he's family for life.
We put a long skinny line on ours cause it’s easier to catch him. He’s so quick! Easier to train when we can get him immediately & reward or stop whatever he’s up to. The TH-cam videos of min pin puppies doing tricks proves they can do complicated tricks.
Gotta burn that excess energy. I play with my MinChi and he walks everyday. He's napping by the end of the day.
I feel threatened by small children too.
We have a Merle 💕
My miniature pincher is a 3 years old and weighs 10 pounds
They are a fragile dog, so environment is critical along with the owner !
I want to get a minpin so much I'm used to owning pitbulls growing up but I live in a apartment & I have a daughter that's 7yrs old so I'm hesitant but I really want 1 any advice?? Y'all??
If you have an apartment, think about the barking. I had one in an apartment and he barked about once every two minutes when we were out of the house. It drove my neighbors nuts.
At the dog park, other owners were afraid of him because he barked a lot. He was just saying, let's play. He got to play with some Yorkies, once. They bark a lot, so the owner was happy to see someone who wasn't afraid of a barking dog.
He learned quickly, if it mattered to him. I showed him how to sit before I would let him chase geese. It took him one time to get it.
it will unfortunatly chase, provoke cats and rabbits
Competitive Obedience???? Ha! That's where they compete to see which one can be the least obedient!!!!!
lol
Mine was 6 grand, so this pricing is not accurate.
mine was $180, somebody got ghanked
2k is about normal for a pedigree. Lots of greedy breeders during Covid.
Got mine fir 75 from a good freind
They’re worth a million bucks. But seriously, look around you can find one for a reasonable price.
You think she is Mini-Pincher🤔 with Chihuahua
I was told
Jack Russell - Chihuahua
🤷🏽♀️

Literally didn’t know I was getting a Min Pin absolutely don’t like this dog at all. He’s untrainable have had for 9 months really thinking about taking him to the dog shelter. His name X cause he stay on 10. He was a unwanted birthday gift my boyfriend bought they told him it was a apple head chihuahua soon as I saw the dog I knew it was not a chihuahua because I have had that breed before.
Should your boyfriend get serious in your (plural) relationship, seek counseling.
I am an attorney. You both need to find if your attitudes are compatible. Should you still want to place your dog, I am interested.
If you are thinking about getting rid of the dog do it now! Don’t wait for it to get older. It’s easier to rehome a dog the younger it is. Please don’t ever get another dog.....if you aren’t 100% sure you will keep one for it’s entire life then you shouldn’t have one.
You don't deserve to be an owner of a Miniature Pincher, I pray it finds someone deserving of the incredible breed.
And you would have liked a Chihuahua even more? Like wtf, don't get a dog if it being energetic isn't for you. That's kind of what you get with any dog. I'll take your min pin, they're amazing dogs.
We just got our Min Pin 3 weeks ago and i'm already training him , you cannot be in a hurry to get him to listen as they learn in small increments. You have to act as the alpha in front of him and you absolutely have to be patient with them. My Min Pin is already showing signs of loyalty, and he's still young ( 2 years old ). If i put in the work to train him in 9 months he should be very well behaved. Try getting a dog trainer to help out. Dogs aren't the problem, people are.
