How a miniature pinscher eats

For all who wanted to know. It's a 4 step process.
1. Stare at it oddly and make noises.
2. Attack it and make noises.
3. Scatter it all over the floor and make noises.
4. Eat.

Minpins are the best. They are filled with personality. Tough and bold. This lil one reminds me of my minpin. I had him for eight years. He died due to respiratory issues. I miss him a lot.

[@MistakenLogic]

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. They are great dogs!

[@vondonstrut218]

Min pins are so skittish about everything lol. They're hilarious

[@cricketleg4958]

My min pin grabs a single piece at a time, throws it around, then finally eats it and repeats...it's a long process

[@Itz_Miaxoxo]

I have a 16 week old Chihuahua and Mini Pinscher mix and she does the same thing! Is that a thing for real?! I just thought maybe she doesn't like the food or something

[@TheWrongTone112]

My Chipin and I have a weird routine when i give him a snack. He will take a milkbone, set it down and bark at it for a minute, then he looks back at me to dare me to come take it. I have to play along and try to steal his snack, THEN he will start eating it. I guess it tastes better when someone tries to take it LOL I love that lil weirdo

[@elfgirl415]

SO ADORABLE!! Min Pins truly ARE THE BEST!! 💋❤️🐾🐾

[@theautumnhippie]

My miniature pinscher does that too! Everything was on point, even the part where they grab fiv+ pieces of food at once

My pin min takes individual pieces out of the room into the living room to eat them

[@ANCIENTASTRONAUT]

my first min pin did that, my current min pin eats at the bowl lol

[@addbecke]

My min pin does this too. Just without the barking. He takes some food out of his bowl, he drops it a few feet away, wanders off for a second, and then comes and eats it.

[@jimmcc2543]

It’s funny. One of mine ate similar to that way. She would like to take a mouthful and put it on the floor. Then eat one kibble at a time. Her sister was different and would eat the entire bowl in one minute.

[@pku0865]

He also carries food all over the house and drops it

[@gabrieldossantos9982]

Roasted gizzards and chicken hearts are his favorite food

My min pin gobbles his fresh lightly cooked liver or hamburger or makeral like a hog! He is very healthy and also gets probiotics such as fermented coconut cream,ghee,lard and coconut oil.You pet owners that feed dry crap food need to get your heads on straight!! Also I feed steamed pasture raised egg every day. Cat and dog loves it!!! I swear, my old cat has grown and filled in much after getting him on the egg.

[@Jin-se2rk]

Mine did the exact same routine, takes playing with your food to a whole new level

[@deeb8282]

When my min pin wants to eat I tell him to bring me his bowl and he does, when he wants a treat I tell him to twist and he spins in circles then sits. He also drops his food like yours. Love min pins!!

[@michaelrubino2018]

Funny the dog puts it's food on the ground and stares like... This is mine

[@PuzlaPanov]

My Min Pin does something similar - she puts a piece in her mouth which then throws out. Repeats that procedure a couple of times, then starts eating those on the ground and later starts eating from the bowl =) =)

[@jodierichardson4308]

Puzla Panov lol

[@meirry1593]

Mines does this 1. Take one piece and throw it somewhere on the floor 2. Take another piece and take it to the carpet ( for some reason he does it at the exact same spot every time) drop it on the carpet then eat it 3. Repeat step 2 about 3 times 4. Start eating from the bowl

[@meirry1593]

Also whenever I (or him) drop some of his food on the ground by accident he cleans that up ( eats it) before he does the whole eating procedure

[@arlenebetorojo4088]

Not a typical Min Pin. Had a beautiful female for 14 years and never had a problem with her being possessive with her food.

[@kayjay4060]

It's because if it was a rat they could play with it. Letting it go to catch it again.

You prob already found him but you can play those youtube videos that attract dogs or you can use a whistle/clicker

[@fgonzalez7058]

Miniature pinchers are the cutest dogs

[@TheCpadron19]

Hmmm I guess my Min Pin missed the memo on the process; She just waits for me to put the food in the bowl, and then she devours it. Had to get her one of those puzzle-lookin bowls to get her to slow down. She has the habit of swallowing stuff before she chews it all the way :/ Edit: There's also no way I could leave that much food out for my dog, because she doesn't stop eating until there's nothing left to eat. She once ate a whole hot dog before I could stop her, proceeded to throw the hot dog up because it was too much food to fit in her stomach, but then tried to eat it again, but I cleaned it up before she could. I guess when it comes to Min Pins you either get a pig, or you get what your dog does lol.

[@chantaluys8727]

your min pin sounds like mine!! we have to make sure all food is securely away when we leave because if he gets into any food, he WONT stop eating till its gone (and he can open zipped up bags and containers and cupboards so its hard) lol.

[@teodomirochavez2457]

Yes soo true my mini pincher eats like that

[@asraven7386]

My last few: grab a mouthful run off eat it repeat

[@valeriedy3028]

Omg its so accurate 😂😂 why are they like this btw

[@MistakenLogic]

I think they like tossing things around in general, as he tosses his toys all around too. I believe this comes from a hunting instinct, as the breed is good at catching mice and they toss them around too.

[@warriormaiden9829]

That's it exactly. If you don't want them to do this with their food, try giving them something else to 'hunt'. We hide small toys in random places, then pull out the laser pointer for her to hunt. After a few passes, we then 'lead' her to a toy. She loves pouncing and digging for the toy she knows is in there. We do this a good 2-3 times a week, and she quit playing with her food shortly after we started. And our vet said she's the calmest Min Pin he's ever seen. Most naughty behavior/problems stems from either poor training or lack of stimulation. Give them a job, and they'll calm right down. :)
