The miniature pinscher, often misspelled as pincher or pinsher, is native to Germany and was developed to hunt small animals such as rats. Despite the popular belief that the Pinscher is descended from the Dobertman, the truth is that they are dog breeds that have nothing to do with each other. In fact, the Miniature Pinscher was developed long before the Doberman, being one of the oldest breeds, and it shares ancestors with the Schnauzer.
In general, the hair of these dogs is short and presents two differentiated variants in terms of color: black and tan, which is often confused with the Prague mouse, or unicolor, brown being the more common. Thus, if you have adopted a small pinscher and you still don't know how to name him, on our site we offer you a complete list with names for male and female pinscher dogs, to black and brown dogs, keep reading!
What to take into account to choose the best name for my pinscher dog
Pinscher dogs, like most small dogs, have a fairly high life expectancy ranging between 14 and 18 years. For this reason, if you are still not sure if you want to adopt this breed, you should take into account the responsibility that living with such a long-lived animal implies and, furthermore, with the characteristics that this dog presents.
On the other hand, Pinschers are dogs full of energy and therefore need to be very active, despite their small size. They love to run and play everywhere and require an owner who is able to provide them with the exercise they require. Likewise, they are very curious, brave and sometimes even reckless. However, above all these traits, Pinschers are dogs with a very strong and independent personality. In this way, we recommend choosing a short name, which does not exceed three syllables, and adapts to this strength and vitality that characterizes them so much. Likewise, try not to choose a name that could be confused with one of the commands you intend to teach your furry companion.
