History

This breed has been around since at least 1780. The German Pinscher as we know it today dates from around 1836, when it became a very popular pet in Germany. This was largely on account of its skill at hunting rats. They killed these, and other "vermin", by pure instinct, as such behavior: they required no training to do so. .

Temperament

German Pinschers have a brave and companionable temperament. They may not be too friendly with strangers due to their natural instinct to protect their family. This breed needs regular and consistent training regime from a young age, these are very confident dogs and you’ll have to gain their respect and show them who’s “boss” or they’ll consider you inferior.

This breed makes a good guard dog due to the fact that it barks at the arrival of visitors.
