Historical facts

And only many years later it began to be used as a guard dog. In the period before the First World War, the Pinscher was very famous and popular as a cheerful, cheerful and vigilant partner. The closest relatives are the Doberman and the Miniature Pinscher, which were obtained by crossing the German Pinscher at the turn of the 20th century. Until recently, the German Pinscher was popular only in its homeland. However, in recent years, many Russian dog breeders prefer this breed of dogs. This is due to the playful and cheerful character of the Pinscher, which it pleases its owners with even in old age. And, despite such friendliness, the guard features of this "German guest" are quite developed. He is very vigilant and distrustful of strangers, but he shows sincere love to the owner in any situation. There are two varieties of Pinschers - one-color and two-color. The single-colored ones are red or the color of a reddish deer. The two-colored ones have a black shade with swallowtail or brown markings. The German Pinscher has medium sizes and weighs from 11 to 18 kg. It is graceful and muscular, perfectly built, with an intelligent look. This breed, of course, is "indoor" and domestic, but it also needs to splash out its energy.
