Miniature Pinscher Dogs

A few months ago I got one of the miniature pinscher dogs for myself. He is a small dog with a lot of energy. We got him from someone that could no longer take care of him the way he deserved to be taken care of so they gave him to me. I was more than happy to take him. I was looking for an older dog at the time to go along with my puppy I have. He turned out to be a great lapdog. He has a lot of energy but can curl up next to you at anytime without a problem.

When we got him the first thing we did was take him to the vet to get him up to date on his shots and get him checked out to make sure he was healthy. Miniature pinscher dogs are not prone to too many health conditions which is a good thing. The vet did inform us, though, that he has heartworms. This was caused by the previous owner not keeping him on preventative medication. Well we checked around and over all treatment is going to cost us about $4oo. I can deal with that. Min Pins live around 13 to 15 years and he is only 7 so it is definitely worth it to have him healthy so that he can be a part of our family for years to come. Heartgard for dogs is a great medication used to prevent heartworms.

We have had him for sbout 3 months now and he is a blast to have at the house. The way he runs around playing with his toys. Fortunately he was already housebroken when we got him so that saved some training. Since we don't have to do that we started training him on other things. He knows how to sit, lay down, and shake. He is learning more and more every day. Miniature pinscher dogs are very smart and learn very quickly. Min pins are also very eager to please their owners and are very happy to get rewarded.

His previous owners had named him Winston. I did not like that name at all so I changed it to MOJO. He learned that very quickly as well. I love having him. He has definitely been a great addition to the family. So far miniature pinscher dogs seem to fit well with me.
