German Pinscher Information
The German Pinscher is included in the origins of the Doberman Pinscher, Miniature Pinscher and other Pinscher types. The German Pinscher is better associated with the Standard Schnauzer and it is thought that the Standard Schnauzer was originally referred to as the Wire Haired Pinscher. These dogs were shown in books as early as 1884.
German Pinschers became nearly extinct due to World War I and World War II.In 1958, Werner Jung saved the breed by using a German Pinscher female that was fortunate enough to get past east Germany's iron curtain.
The German Pinscher is an excellent working dog. They are known for their great hunting skills on vermin and instinctive desire to protect their home and family. They are very strong willed and can be manipulative and stubborn when they want their own way.
German Pinschers should stand at 17 to 20 inches tall. Their coat is short and smooth and can be fawn to red in various shades, black and blue with red or tan markings.
