From the Publisher
The Miniature Pinscher has been known and admired for centuries - first in Germany an then around the world. The reasons the breed is so well-regarded are found in The Miniature Pinscher, the newest book on this good-looking companion dog.

From the Inside Flap
The Miniature Pinscher Reigning King of Toys Nicknamed "King of the Toys," the Miniature Pinscher is distinguished by its well-groomed appearance, self-confident deportment and characteristic hackney-like gait. Often mistakenly believed to be a smaller version of the Doberman Pinscher, this sturdy, affable breed originated in Germany well before the Doberman and makes a great pet for the city or the country. Despite his size, the spirited Miniature Pinscher thinks he is a very large dog. The Miniature Pinscher is outgoing, fearless, animated and intensely curious. Always full of energy and enthusiasm, he is dynamite in a small package. With his lively, headstrong temperament, the Miniature Pinscher can be a handful, but with the right guidance he is a loyal, attentive and endearing companion.

From the Back Cover
The Miniature Pinscher: Reigning King of Toys gives potential owners, new converts and veteran Min Pin lovers all they need to know about this captivating companion. There are chapters on the Miniature Pinscher's history, buying a dog, grooming, temperament, understanding the breed standard, breeding, health concerns and more. Five appendices include useful resources and top dogs in the breed.

"Dr. Hungerland has judged and studied this breed for many years and shares with you her many observations and experiences. This is a reference book that will find its place on many fanciers' bookshelves." ?Anne Rogers Clark, internationally eminent dog show judge
