Care
Miniature Pinschers not brought up with children may have a non-malicious problem with children; they can be yappy, but are actually being protective.
Care should be taken in educating young people about proper handling and play. The dogs are relatively sturdy for their size but can be easily injured by rough play with a child. In addition, their high-strung temperament leaves little patience for such rough play.
Grooming is easy, as the smooth, short-haired coat requires little attention needing only occasional brushing and shampooing.[2]
Care must be taken in cold weather: the coat provides virtually no warmth. This also pertains to hot weather; with no guard hairs they can over heat. It is easier for them to be too cold than too hot, they usually do not like air conditioning that is set too low.
