I will be an owner very soon of a mini pinscher puppy.
I have a lot of questions but is there any good book?
Any tips,
how to train, things i should watch out for, very important facts, basically everything and anything about caring for a mini pinscher puppy.
** oh do i have to walk it as much because he is a puppy?

I have two min-pins, male and female. They are easy to train. They are very active dogs. First of all do not feed them table scraps, their digestive systems can be sensitive. When you leave the dog at home for anytime make sure you potty your dog before leaving. You might need to crate your dog when you leave because they can be very active. I always try to leave plenty of toys to keep my dogs occupied. They are high jumpers at maturity and can possibly jump fences. Mine tend to be very protective and territorial. My male also hates children. My dogs love to also sleep under a big comforter at night. Feed your dog Iams small dog fed. I also have to watch when picking up dogs because they will tend to jump out of your arms no matter how far from ground they are. they are very smart dogs and pick up on things fast. Good luck and enjoy your new companion. What are you gonna name him or her? My dogs names are Buster and Lexi.

Puppies are so cool! I have a half mini pinscher half weenie dog. i tell people she is a weenie pincher. lol. The only problem we have now is that i am the only person she will go outside for. Be sure to dry it good after a bath. They tend to be very active. Make sure it has plenty of toys to keep it busy when you are not going to be around. Im sure there are plenty of other things i could tell you but thats all i can think of for now! Hope this helps!
