This is not one of those breed-specific books that has about 4 pages about the breed and then the rest of it is generic dog information. This is about the MinPin all the way through. It has lovely pictures and sensible, useful advice for every situation. With this book, you don't need another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Minpins, November 30, 2010

This review is from: The Miniature Pinscher (Terra Nova Series) (Hardcover)

The book does what it is supposed to do and discusses minpins and has some good information but most of the information you can get online with google searches. That said, I will put in a shameless plug for minpins in general and say that they are amazing animals and incredibly loyal companions, but they are not for the faint of heart. Expect 15 to 18 years of constant, in your face antics that will make you laugh all the time but will also test your patience. I have yet to meet a dog I didn't like and if you are looking for a pet to become a big part of your life, read up on the breed and see if they make sense for you!
