Male vs Female Miniature Pinscher

[@MinPinNation]

What is the biggest difference for you between the Male and Female Min Pin you have noticed?

[@juanashannon3140]

The male dog pee on everything and the female was a little calm but later in the years the male started to pee like the female dogs they are good dogs we don't hit our dogs never even if they didn't bad things like chew a hole in our new sofa yes that happened 1 time we only tell them bad boy or bad girl yes they rip a big hole in our new sofa we love them so much

[@skylarcross43]

I noticed, that the males might be more independent. Our male would just walk himself and our girls didnt want to leave my mother. They even follow her to the toilette :D

[@ttirrem]

@@skylarcross43 Our min pin and our cat both like to follow us to the bathroom. No privacy.

[@lira7970]

I can’t sit down anywhere without having at least one of them (3) on me

[@meganlee162]

My male was notorious for deliberately peeing on things indoors but the female was perfect with her potty training. Female is better at listening to commands all around. Both sexes are escape artists. The male could get aggressive once in awhile with bones or strangers. The female was never aggressive, but she was also much more introverted. The male was a Velcro lap dog, so incredibly cuddly, and the female only wants to sit in my lap once in awhile. There are pros and cons to each, but honestly I think I enjoy the male a little more despite the fact he has more problems. It’s the affection! How can you stay mad at something so adorable, when he’s cuddling up to you and obviously loves you more than anything? The female is better-behaved, but I also feel like she spends too much time sitting in a different room avoiding me. I love them both so much.

I was a 1st time dog owner when I got my 1st min pin. He was a male and was 9 weeks old. He became diabetic at 15 and we also found out he had cancer. We did everything from insulin, special food and a mild chemo. He stayed with us to meet our son and spent his last year with him. We recently had to let him go because his body was shutting down. Hardest decision we had to make. He was 17.5 and the best dog ever! When we are ready we are going to get another min pin. Most loyal,funny and loving breed

[@packetloss5297]

My first was 5 weeks from 18 when I lost him. He was such a joy and prepared me for my second... Both were rescues'.

[@p90x1011]

We have had two, 10 years apart. Great dogs. Great family members. Smart! And very loving.

[@jacoboram0987]

How do they go with kids?

[@dianedavis8376]

8:48 I know that my min pin Annie is a living angel sent by God. When my husband of 50+ years passed away I was so alone I did not care to live. My son got me Annie through a Christian friend. She is 4 now and I love her unconditionally and she loves me the same. She is NEVER away from me. I have not been to the toilet alone in 4 years. She has to be touching me most all the time. I take her to the vet regularly and try to take perfect care of her. She is a perfect watchdog. She alerts to people or animals as I live in the woods and she is also the smartest dog ever. I have had dogs all my life but none as sweet as my Annie. I call her my daughter, not a dog.

[@cecybenitez3385]

Just became first time owner of a 10 week old male. He's the most loving and touch craving little thing. Since the first night, he was immediately drawn to me, and he's always seeking for my attention. We're starting potty training, which has been a little hard, but patience is key. Love your videos, they teach me so much every time... Greetings from Costa Rica!

[@michaelmcdougal8600]

They are clowns and will light up your day everyday but be careful they are mischievous and can get into trouble I'm talking about the kind of trouble that caused me to lose my last two min pins and one of the biggest traumas in my life is because of one of them

[@audioplugg5310]

How's your min pin doing now?

[@roxiesmith4774]

My Min Pin is called Tom. He is the best dog I have ever had. He is a great guard dog and is bossy, protective, and ever so loving. He is now 10 tears old and is rather food obsessive. That is the only thing I have to be very strict with. But I live him with every fibre of my soul.

[@marthaingram4329]

I have a male Min-pin (my first of this breed). He is incredibly loyal and loving. He was a challenge to house train but other than that he is perfect. He is very vocal with strangers but I consider that a good thing. He is tolerant of kids of all ages. He loves to snuggle. Never chews or destroys anything but if we leave the trash can open... well thats a different story:) Love this dog!!

[@MinPinNation]

I couldn't agree more!

[@LadyGodiva7460]

I have a male almost 14 week old min pin quite by accident my dad's female min pin had puppies and my dad lovingly gifted me Levi my boy and he is quite the challenge to house train especially in the winter with their short coats outside potty training isn't really an option

[@packetloss5297]

I have always stopped my Pins and made them sit at the door, once I cross the boundary, I allow the dog to cross the boundary, both coming in and going out. They never cross a boundary before me. Makes a big difference.

[@jeanneswindoll5676]

My male min pin is 17 and has Lupus. He's losing his hair and looks a hot mess but he acts like a puppy. Can't bear to put him down but I know it's coming. The smartest dog I've ever had! Love him so much!

From another min pin lover. My 2 females lived to be 19yrs old, the last three years of there lives they have trouble walking and hearing and seeing, only there last year was hard. They need to eat twice a day , with a good protien and carb balance. There last five years of life, I added cooked oatmeal, and put warm water in there food to make it soft for there bowel movments, believe me it makes them feel alot better. Also be very careful at all times! around sliding glass doors so you don't injure them, there so fast. I hope I helped a little for all you new min pin parents.

I am not such a great trainer, but I think she is smart. stressing me a bit. pry cuz I don't see her as much as I would like.

[@paigemoser3894]

I rescued a female chocolate miniature pinscher chihuahua mix named Pixie in may. I got her 7 months ago and then she was 1 year and 5 months. I had to house break her, she can sit, lay down, come here, stand, speak. She still sometimes has accidents inside, but we are still working on that. Sometime she gets huge bursts of energy. Other times she relaxes. She can be very vocal as well. I bring her to the dog park to help socialize her and she prefers to play with small dogs, she will just not play with big dogs. She is still learning to probably walk on a leash because she is still more reactive on a leash. She can be very noisy at everything and very distracted, but I am determined to work with her. We have three cats as well, she LOVES them. She also is a huge cuddle bug. I can hold her in my arms when I go to bed. She knows all her human family members by name! She is very loving to anyone once she lets her guard down. She is the best decision I ever made and I will never give up on her. Thank you for these awesome videos. Happy new year!

I just bought a male min pin. I live in a one bedroom and he’s small enough that he gets tons of exercise just running through the rooms. I taught him to ring the bell to go outside. He does great. He learned to sit in about a minute and the last couple nights we’ve been working on putting his toys away. He loves being rewarded. Treats are key in training. He goes to work with me everyday and entertains himself in the crate next to me till break time. Which somehow he knows exactly when it is. Today I let him have free reign while I worked and when he wasn’t trying to hide his bone, he was snoozing next to me. I’ve never had such a good dog. He’ll be 5 months old on the 27th.

[@andersjakobsen9906]

I like to make a comment here. I've "always" been a dog owner. But the Min Pin I have today, is my first "miniature" She is also my first female. But what I want to tell you, is that I adopted her 2,5y o. She was NOT trained in any way. Hardly been outside. No behavior training. She was dead scared of EVERYTHING!! And I mean everything. From people to a tree or birds. She didn't even know what to do, if the grass was too tall. I have been training dogs for a long time, but I do remember calling a friend after 1,5 months. Saying that Im not sure about this one. But she had one really good thing. She looked at me. And she was and still are a food junkie. This makes training a lot easier. And suddenly, one day we could pass people on the street, without her barking and trying to run home. From there it went fast. I had given out threats to friends and family. Every time we meet, they could give her something. Today I've had her for 3 years And she can go nicely without a leash. She is the BEST dog I have ever had, regarding (calling her name and make her come to me) She can come with me absolutely every day and everywhere I go. She is my ❤️ and my best friend. So never give up. You can teach a old dog new tricks. And even a extremely nervous Min Pin, can be your best friend. I often think of the learning curve she had. She absolutely must be a strong minded dog. So good luck with yours. And keep training!!

@@MinPinNation in my case it was a nightmare. They did not get along at ALL. I was afraid to leave my house and had to lock them in separate rooms all the time as both chihuahuas and minpins can be ferocious fighters. Shelter said it'd be a great match. Well it wasn't. Inform people that it doesn't have to do with breed. Dogs have personalities and not all personalities click, no matter the breed. Test it first. Have them play together, be together in a room, eat together before you decide. Its will save you and the dogs a lot of trouble, stitches and ridiculous vet bills.

[@onlinecomment]

I have males and females and differences really wary from dog to dog, depending if they grew up in a single-house hold, apartment in a city or a rural house with a fence and few other dogs. What does matter are the bloodlines. If you take Russian bred minipins, they mostly have Israeli inbreds - large bone structure, heavy heads with really good jawlines, strong musculature and usually bigger in size than what is acceptable now. They are very calm, working dogs. They do have smaller types as well from other bloodlines, usually hyperactive. The more ‘west’ you go, the smaller minipins get and likelihood of being related to a ratdog increases - more energetic, agile dogs. In the US or Asia - these are small toy dogs with toy dog heads, perhaps the only clue you get that it’s a minipin is their somehow active and clingy personality with separation anxiety. That’s why it’s important to purchase dogs from reputable breeders. Let them know your lifestyle so they can find a puppy that fits right with you. Some puppies are more active, some more melancholic. The breeder knows the dogs they’ve bred and lines they used and if minipin puppy is the right fit for you long-term.

Is it common for a female min pin to get fat after being spayed?

[@nmartin5551]

All min pins easily become fat from too many calories. An overweight min pin can develop Diabetes, and it can get severe crazy fast, fast enough to lose the dog before you realize what is happening. Cut back on calories, add baby carrots as treats, use canned pumpkin (not pumpkin Pie filling) to add fiber to the kibble so your dog feels fuller. The feeding amounts you see on dog food bag are to sell more food, not ensure proper weight, for your animal. If you can just about see your min pin’s ribs, the dog is proper weight.

@@nmartin5551 Thank you.

[@nmartin5551]

@@twiztedmouth You are welcome. I became involved in Mn Pin Rescue because of my wonderful boy. I learned about the diabetic thing from the rescue director. I actually learned about the way pet food bags are “misleading” from a veterinarian when I had an obese cat. I wish you many many happy and healthy years with your pin.

We're adopting a female Min Pin in a few weeks. She's 6 years old and according to the owner she suffers from seperation anxiety. Any tips on how to help her cope and get her used to staying alone while we're at work? She will have our cat for company but I'm worried this won't be enough.

[@josea1593]

I have a male min-pin mix. He does not like strangers and wants to eat kids and bigger dogs. He will stick to me like white on rice. I think it’s because I run him on my bikes My wife and I have two different ways of disciplining him. I am more strict she coddles him. My dog sometimes grabs food and runs under the table and eats. Does anybody’s pin do that.

[@lloydbellera]

How months can a baby mini pin can eat a solid food?

[@tracybrandt5745]

What’s the best brand dry food for Min Pin?

[@rays3995]

Whole hearted dog food but it's a little more fatty then simply nourish dog food means u should walk your dog more u don't want this dog with too much weight it hurts there body structure

[@ukulavsing9168]

mine is male, and so full of energy, I don't know how to train it 😅

[@garylove2323]

Our girl does not like certain trucks. Mail ups Amazon FedEx are triggers for her and she has different reactions to each of them.

[@TimothyJamesEspinoza]

My girlfriend and I recently got a formal min pin, she’s 8weeks and she already seems to be attached to my girlfriends mother, she’s a tad bit jealous and we want to get her to bond with us more first than her mother. Now we are young being 20 and 19 not living together and have experience with dogs but she seems to be more drawn to her mother as of now wanting to lay with her but play with us. How can we fix this with some training and other tips..? Any advice would really help.

[@MinPinNation]

Actually Fresh I would try not to worry to much at this point. Blitz actually did the same thing. I would recommend seeking out different bonding times with your puppy. Also make sure you start training them early as they will begin to learn who the true leader is. You guys got this! Keep me up to date. Also what is your precious Min Pin's Name?

[@TimothyJamesEspinoza]

Min Pin Nation she’s getting better at sleeping by herself here and there and sleeping with my girlfriend, she still sometimes cries for my girlfriends mom and when she wakes up in the middle of the night she doesn’t wanna go back to sleep, what would be the best method to get her more comfortable to fall asleep with my girlfriend (her mom really lol) because she falls asleep with my girlfriends mom like nothing. And Our Min Pin is named Freya 🥰

[@RemediaFernandes]

Would you recommend a crate or a bed cot for a first time owner?

[@MinPinNation]

I have always enjoyed using a crate.

[@vlogswithvy]

first time owner and i got here for free! she is my whole world, and i just turned 21. so im shocked with the pressure to train an amazing dog. Ive seen my aunt raise a dog who is aggressive and fears of other dogs but he will attack them no doubt, he has nipped and tried to attack my 10 week old mini pin!

[@MinPinNation]

It does take a lot. You got this though!

[@sweetpotato6751]

My dog is aggressive to most dogamost people she is fine with I dont know what happened to her before I got her but I love her to death she is my world

[@conishka3749]

[@elizabethharalson7903]

That dog is possiblely a German Pincher , size matters.

[@chenable4697]

I have a 10month girl Mini Pin., I have one question, do they easily get separation anxiety with their owners?

[@MinPinNation]

They do suffer from that. Make sure you work with them on it.

[@Horsechemist]

I hope I didn't get too ambitious haha I trained my female well and adore her, but am about to get a male puppy! I'm a persistent person but hope I can still be successful with it.

[@mahatmaheil]

Would a min-pin get along with a Jack Russel?

[@MinPinNation]

Really depends on the individual temperaments of each dog. I don't see why not though.

[@prishapatel456]

i have an issue, i have two daschunds, one large black male daschund and one medium sized female...the female is really aggressive towards strangers, but she really mothered my male daschund when we got him last year...my family and i agreed that the next dogs we adopt would be those of our male daschund's {mating him} because our female is neutered....he's still only one year old so he has a long way to go before we can mate him...the same person who gave us my baby boy (the male daschund - kylo) said he wants to give us a pinscher puppy....first i was really excited..but after i started my research...for some reason it feels off....anyone know why?

[@latina305mami]

I adopted a 2yr female and I'm a female. She's the sweetest but, she can get hyper lol she broke out of the shell.. She barely barks,, only with the delivery guy and a neighbor that walks by. I guess bc I'm the adopter, she's closer to me than my husband.

[@TheLoneRanger745]

I have two chocolate tan min pins my boy BUDDY just passed away 3/21/22 he was definitely a little man very much masculine traits, my girl is a little taller little lankier and very feminine clearly female traits just their behaviors alone clearly exhibited their genders, they are both very loving and affectionate and towards each other she would climb up on my lap and twist yourself around him and wanting him to kiss her and she would paw him saying come on Buddy how about a little kiss it was the funniest thing to watch. My little boy was 17 when he passed I can't begin to tell you the loss he had so much personality and love, he was as smart as a 5yr old child. Big personality that's why I called him Big Buddy

[@carlitogee4254]

2nd video ive seen. Love the beard 👍

[@MinPinNation]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kimberlyv1205]

i love my little female MinPin! She's a handful but she's an amazing little dog.

[@michelleparsons9881]

[@itsrebeccanatalie5995]

I have two dogs a female and a male but the female doesnt like other females and the male is a chill yorkie so i got a male min pin named pepsi

[@MinPinNation]

Rebecca Natalie sure seems like you have your "*PAWS*" full at your house. I love the name Pepsi. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jordanserrano9659]

Any information about there teeth?

[@MinPinNation]

I just released a video about dental health actually.

[@juanashannon3140]

I had a female and a male minpin they were great i had the for 22 yrs I have a few of there kids they are very very smart but you need to love them cause they will play you really good they will do everything you ask of them but if you forget them and don't give them the same love they will pee on your carpet till you learn like I said they are smart and understand if you tell your wife he did good to day he didn't pee carpet watch out cause now he just pee carpet they are very hard to train but once you train them they are great dogs very loving and will proct you

[@MinPinNation]

Juana Shannon it is great to learn about your experience. You must have many stories in 22 years.

[@ExonnMobil]

ACTIVE SELF PROTECTION!!!!!!

[@lisaandmandiontheroad8504]

Is this based on your experience of ONLY the two minpins you own? I find it hard to believe that a female trains better just because she’s a female dog.
