There is no such thing as a miniature Doberman pinscher. Never has been.
There are Doberman pinschers and there are miniature pinschers (min-pins)....they are 2 separate types of "pinschers," barely related at all.
In order for there to be a miniature Doberman, the Doberman would have had to have existed first and then been 'shrunk down' to a miniature size. But the Doberman didn't exist first...the min-pin did.
Dobermans were created by breeding UP from min-pins...and several other types of larger pinschers mixed in with other breeds. (The Doberman pinscher is named for the gentleman who created the breed, Louis Dobermann <---2n's)

There is no miniature Doberman pinscher. I have a miniature pinscher and I read up on them ALOT. The min pin was around way before the doberman pinscher(the larger dog of the two). They are nothing alike and the min pin is NOT a smaller version of the doberman pischer. It is like the difference in a poodle and a grey hound-totally different.

There is no miniature doberman pinscher, only the miniature pinscher. As most people have already said the miniature pinscher had been around 200 years before the doberman pinscher.

There is no such thing a miniature Doberman pinscher. The miniature pinscher is a smaller version similar to the German pinscher, which is a medium sized dog, and not as well known as the Doberman. The Doberman is not related to the min pin, as far as I am aware.

There's no such thing as a "miniature Doberman Pinscher". There are Miniature Pinschers, though, and the Min-Pins are actually the older breed. They're not bred-down Dobermans.
I have owned many Miniature Pinschers, and they're a wonderful breed.

Dobermans are a separate breed, and there is no miniature version.
