The misconception that the miniature pinscher is a "miniature Doberman" occurred because the Doberman pinscher was introduced to the US before the miniature pinscher. In 1919 the miniature pinscher was introduced to the AKC show ring. At the time, not knowing that it was referred to officially in Germany as the zwergpinscher (dwarfpinscher), the AKC referred to the breed as simply "pinscher" and listed it in the miscellaneous category. When the Miniature Pinscher Club of America (MPCA) was created in 1929 (the year of the breed's official introduction into the AKC), they petitioned for miniature pinschers to be placed in the Toy group. The AKC's description, that the dog "must appear as a Doberman in miniature", led to the misconception common today that this breed is a "miniature Doberman pinscher". The original name for this breed in the US was "pinscher" until 1972 when the name was officially changed to miniature pinscher. [3]
Historical artifacts and paintings indicate that the "min pin" is a very old breed, but factual documentation begins less than 200 years ago,[4] which leaves the breed's actual origins open to debate.

Description
Appearance
The miniature pinscher is structurally a well balanced, sturdy, compact, short-coupled, smooth-coated dog. He naturally is well groomed, proud, vigorous and alert. Characteristic traits are his hackney-like action, fearless animation, complete self-possession, and his spirited presence. Legs should be straight with no bending in or out.[5] The miniature pinscher frequently has a docked tail and cropped ears, though the AKC no longer requires ear cropping for shows.Size
Miniature pinscher breed standard calls for 10 inches to 12½ inches in height allowed, with desired height 11 inches to 11½ inches measured at highest point of the shoulder blades. Females may be longer.[6] The ideal weight for a miniature pinscher is 8-10 pounds.[7]Coat and color
The miniature pinscher will on occasion carry a small white patch generally located on neck or breast area. The miniature pinscher once came in harlequin like that which is found in the Great Dane. The harlequin gene is part of the breed's makeup but has gone in and out of fashion. Breeders for years worked to eliminate the trait, but have recently been breeding to bring the color back by mixing the rat terrier into the miniature pinscher, though the result is merle and not harlequin because they do not have the harlequin modifier or any white besides the small white patch on the breast.
