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.

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 integro 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, genetica, e incluso la Nomenclatura de los Pinscher Miniatura! Este libro tiene un capitulo especial titulado "Comprenda la Mente del Pinscher Miniatura" el cual me parece de gran utilidad. La vision, el olfato, el gusto, la audicion y el dolor son abarcados en este capitulo de forma breve pero muy precisa. Ademas de su idioma sencillo y ameno, tiene 34 fotografias a color e ilustraciones que le ayudaran a conocer lo que usted necesita saber sobre el poderoso Pinscher Miniatura. Altamente recomendable.
