The miniature Pinscher is a WONDERFUL family pet. They are not really good with children and they require/desire to spend 24/7 with their family, and they dont take well to strangers. They love to snuggle and if they sleep with you they prefer to be under the covers. I only feed mine Science Diet. She gets brushed daily and I also give her a supplement to help with her skin and coat to make it shiny. Actually the food (Science Diet) is really all about you need though. I also take her for daily short walks and wipe her each morning with a cloth you get at walmart to use in between bathing. I ALWAYS keep fresh H20 in her bowl at all times and she is never allowed human food...
