Miniature Pinscher by Caroline Coile has proven to be a very comprehensive book on this mighty dog. This book cover topics such as: history, how to pick a min pin, raise it, understand it, train it, No-No's, how to take care of its skin and its problems, how to choose a vet, preventive medicine, genetics, and even a Min Pin Nomenclature! This book has a special chapter on "Understanding the Min Pin Mind" which I find very helpful. Vision, Olfaction, Taste, Hearing and Pain are briefly yet accurately covered here. In addition to its friendly language, 34 color photographs + illustrations will help you know what you really need to know about the mighty Miniature Pinschers. Highly Recommendable.

Miniature Pinscher de Caroline Coile ha demostrado ser un libro íntegro sobre este poderoso perro. Este libro cubre temas tales como: historia, como seleccionar un min pin, criarlo, o que no debe hacer, como cuidar de su piel y sus problemas, como seleccionar al veterinario, medicina preventiva, genética, e incluso la Nomenclatura de los Pinscher Miniatura! Este libro tiene un capítulo especial titulado "Comprenda la Mente del Pinscher Miniatura" el cual me parece de gran utilidad. La visión, el olfato, el gusto, la audición y el dolor son abarcados en este capítulo de forma breve pero muy precisa. Además de su idioma sencillo y ameno, tiene 34 fotografías a color e ilustraciones que le ayudarán a conocer lo que usted necesita saber sobre el poderoso Pinscher Miniatura. Altamente recomendable.

This book is ideal for propective or new minpin owners. The book is only 88 pages but so concise and well organized that it's suitable for cover to cover reading or reference on specific topics of minpin care and breeding. Very well illustrated with photos and drawings showing ideal body structure, anatomy, first aid, etc.

While this isn't an exhaustive book on my favorite little bundle of energy...it's really quite good for the size and price. I got this book after my son brought home a mini-pin in need of a family.

While deciding if this little (9 pound) angelic looking creature would be suited for our family it was a good book for an overview on common health problems (some skin problems that she has had, som knee problems that she has not had)... some behavioral issues with other dogs (that she has had) and that they are one person dogs (which she hasn't had)...that they are very much the *clown* (which she very much is :). Overall...my point is...the book for it's small size and and low price was a very good intro to my new family pet.

I would suggest buying this book prior to buying the dog. It's always better to know if a dog is suited to you before you make a 15 year committment.

I've had a copy of this book on my dog book shelf for many years. Each new puppy buyer is encouraged to get a copy of this book prior to picking up their new dog. I often have extra copies for my new owners.

A small but very complete reference manual that covers most of the basics and then some. I would encourage anyone new to the breed to pick up a copy. You'll find yourself reviewing chapters throughout your dogs lifetime.

I found the book to be very factual, interesting and some times
amusing. I would recomend that anyone interested in getting a
miniature pincher first read this book.

The book is very helpful in learning more about the min pin which was given to me. Since our pup is very small, I somewhat doubted that she was a min pin but perhaps a chihuahua. I learned from the book that she definitely has the min pin markings and features, and her personality fits the description to a tee! I'm happy with my purchase.

This is a very good book that introduces you to the world of the Miniature Pinschers. My Min Pin was rescued from the shelter. I had no knowledge what so ever of this dog breed. After reading the book - which is very informative - I can now say that I am far more knowledgeable about the breed. I refer to the book whenever I may have a question or concern about my dogs behavior or activity. Having a better understanding of the breed has made me love my baby even more.

I decided to get this book to help me understand my new Min Pin. It has great information, including behavior, obedience, nutrition and grooming. It's hard to read, though, because the pages are printed out of order. One chapter will abruptly stop, then pick up a few pages down (after another chapter has started). It makes it confusing and hard to follow. I'm very surprised that a publisher would have been so careless as to put pages out of order like this.
