Is the temperament of a Doberman miniature pincher the same as a regular-sized one?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Contrary to public misconception, min pins are NOT dobermans, and dobermans are NOT vicious, bad tempered dogs- the temperament of most dogs relies on the owners. If well trained, min pins are lively, with great character, good family dogs, but need a firm hand, and need to be exercised and active. They are not a couch potato lap dog.

Doberman Pinschers are actually not related to the Miniature Pinscher. They are two totally different breeds, with two different temperaments.
