What dog breed is this?
Correct answer: Miniature Pinscher
Player #1863223
this is my second MinPin and she never had her ears clipped,which I much prefer...so cute and floppy, the breeder cut her tail way too short, I would have preferred they left that alone also. absolutely no connection to a doberman pinscher...these little, jaunty, loyal
dogs have a lot of terrier in them and their job was
as "ratters". Major escape artists!

Player #1863223, Why oh why do human's think it is ok to cut ears or tails just to indulge their idea of "the perfect looking dog"? We had a boxer whose ears and tail were also cut (before we got her!!)

questionableYo,man29, this is a puppy. All dogs are born with floppy ears, for breeds with upright ears, the ears usually stand as the puppy matures but it's never guaranteed. (Male puppies also take longer than girls because their energy is typically directed towards 'other' functions first.)

We are on our second min pin. They are so interactive, loving and fun and need alot of companionship. With the right owner they. are the best dog.

lousy photo, nothing to show scale to indicate it was a miniature anything

I had one, Mina Dracula's girlfriend. I loved her so much, She was the worst!! I was inconsolable when I had to have her euthanized. She loved me, everyone else was prey.

Interestingly enough, they ARE NOT related to the Doberman Pinscher

Montana Lady, I had a young but VERY big German Shepherd rescue puppy whose ears would not stand up as he got older. Our vet told us to feed him cottage cheese for more protein. It didn't work for his ears, but he sure got big and strong! and beautiful 😍

This could also be a young manchester. A lot of mini pins are much finer boned than the dog shown.

RockNRollMama82, I was educated to believe that they were bred from dachshunds and Italian Greyhounds back in the 1600s and Herr Doberman bred them up in the 1800s with a larger Greyhound. I dislike the tail docking as well, because it's done on day one of their life, and I love the uncropped ears as well they are extremely expressive and soft. Mine is named Maddie and she is large for her breed, at 13 and a half pounds. Her father was 6 lb at breeding, and her mother was seven lbs.
Michael McL....
the dobberman pinscher comes from german pinscher which is where the min pinscher comes from.

Got my first minpin when i was in my early 20's (LONG ago) and had her ears done b/c i thought it was just "what you do." Never again! She was clearly in pain. Ive never had ears or tails docked on any of my pets since then.

Player #1863223, all right to cut a dog's tail? how would you like to cut your pinky or another of your tails just for fun?

Player #3532789, illegal in the UK to mutilate animals in that way

My daughter has the cutest mini-pin in the world. Cinder is very skittish and was terrified of me the first few times my daughter brought her over. However; time, patience and some dog treats won her over and she is much more comfortable around me now.

I thought it was a Manchester Terrior...my parents had one & it looks like the picture. Love this game!!!

That's a cute pup.

Yikes, dog has tail removed, ears destroyed, and then shrunk in size. Rough deal
Player #20253667
Why say "bad luck" when you get a wrong answer? How tacky. Nobody gets every answer right.
Player #13023389
I've had a doberman and had a min pin follow me home when I was walking Buddy a dog. The min pin's name was Angel. Debby
