The Original True Miniature Pinscher

Was a very stout in appearance looking dog more than today's refined breed.
It had a larger body and a coat that was more coarse and it was not a smooth or refined dog in general.
Todays dog is a result primarily of breeders neglecting to realize that the dog was a working breed and not a toy breed.
With years of breeding the old natural look went away for the more refined small breed we see in today's Miniature Pinscher..
The body of the Miniature Pinscher can be more comical with it's long legs and small body. Some can have a little square body with a small face and large eyes.
With the result of the flexible, agile body, they can almost curl up in any position and be comfortable. They love to lie under the covers.
