THE GERMAN PINSCHER

We have decided to start breeding German pinschers because we shared our family life with a pinscher bitch for 14 years. People say “Once a dog, always a dog”, I say “Once a pinscher, always a pinscher”. Unfortunately, Elisa left us forever in January 2007. She had really been able to fascinate us. We have come to love these dogs, their behaviour and their unique character. The German pinscher certainly is something special among dogs. He is lively, loves playing around and is watchful without being a yapper. He is balanced, self-confident, clever. He is good for active city dwellers as well as for life in the country. He is big enough for all kinds of sports. His faithfulness makes him an adjustable and agreeable family- and watch dog. It is important that parents do everything to create an atmosphere of trust between their children and the dog.

The reliable family- and watch dog will grow to a size of 46 to 50 centimetres and will weigh between 14 and 20 kilos. He is a beautiful, elegant, strong and muscular dog with short, smooth, shiny hair, easy to look after. His colour is black and red, his ears and tail are left in their natural state.

The German pinscher is very sensitive. He does not like being shouted at and hates unjust treatment. You will never get anywhere with him when using violence. He will react with utter stubbornness. When educating the pups you must be consistent, have patience, good humour, show love and sometimes give a biscuit or two as a reward. You should start educating them at a very early stage because the younger a dog the better he can learn. And it is essential for the pup to learn to trust its owner. This trust will be important later on when the grown dog needs help, e.g., when ticks have to be taken out or wounds need treatment.

The pinscher is an old German breed, which was already mentioned in the “Deutsche Hundestammbuch” of 1880. If Mr. Werner Jung had not committed himself to the preservation of the breed, these former stable dogs would no longer exist today. However, the pinscher is still threatened with extinction and has therefore been declared an endangered species in 2003
