The Miniature Pinscher is considered the smallest breed of guard dog. It is classified in Group 2, which also classifies the Doberman, Rottweiller, Mastiff, Boxer, and Great Dane within this group.
The Miniature Pinscher has been characterized as having a heroic demeanor and a striking personality. Pinscher owners commonly affirm that the dog is only small and fragile in appearance.
