Pinscherfakta!
Breed: German Pinscher
Origin: Germany
Breed Group: Rare
Given the similarities in shape and color, it is no surprise that the German Pinscher is often mistaken for a young Doberman Pinscher. Best-known in Europe, these dogs are probably ancestors to the large Doberman and smaller Miniature Pinchers. They were originally bred to protect homes and farms from intruders and rodents. Despite this function, however, the breed never gained great popularity and faced extinction during World War II. Rescued by devoted owner Herr Werner Jung, German Pinschers were recreated from other Pinscher stock and have regained popularity in recent years. Although quite widespread in Europe, they remain rare in the United States and other countries. The dogs are active, brave and loyal, requiring plenty of exercise and social contact.
