The German Pinscher originated in southern Germany and was first entered into German records as a smooth coated Pinscher in 1885. The Pinscher was one of the foundation breeds in the origins of the Doberman Pinscher and the Miniature Pinscher. The Smooth-Haired Pinscher and the Wire-Haired Pinscher were originally one breed with two coat varieties. The breeds were officially divided in the early 1900’s with the wire hair pinscher being renamed the “Schnauzer” and the smooth haired variety remained the “Pinscher”. These medium-sized dogs were initially bred from early European herding dog breeds.

They do have a caring personality which is why many families enjoy them. They are strong dogs and it is suggested that positive reinforcement training takes place at a young age.
Grooming a German Pinscher is fairly easy due to their smooth and short coat. As a finishing touch, use a grooming mitt or a rubber curry and massage in a circular motion.
