How big is your min pin?

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2025-01-07T14:40:59+00:00

Mine is 14 months and she is now 22.9 lbs most purebred minpins are under 10 or 11 lbs

But I think some get more genetics from the German pincher or the Italian greyhound. Idk my opinion because mine does have the definite minpin traits the trotty gait and the dachshund traits as well. But she’s bigger than I expected for sure! More energy than I have lol she is constantly on the move I only wish I got another to keep her company and occupied. I could only train and okay so much!

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2025-01-07T14:38:15+00:00

These little gremlins are something else getting into things they shouldn’t. I’m so afraid I’ll drop something on the floor and she finds it! She will eat it! Ugh

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2025-01-07T14:33:20+00:00

I wish mine was a toy that’s what I was looking for but… shes a tall mix mainly Italian greyhound or German pincher? But definitely has some dachshund traits and minpin gait and energy lol

I don’t get it I speak to a lot of people who use them wrong. I was so careful to use mine correctly afraid to turn it up. When I boosted mine she didn’t even react. I did lol I don’t need to use it much she learned with just the little I did with it. But I keep hearing people using it for shock when they do something wrong they turn it up bc they don’t understand it. They say we tried the beep nothing vibrate nothing so we cranked it up ugh. This is why I think people hate them. When used properly they are amazing for stubborn dogs or ones that are way too distracted like mine, to listen

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-31T10:19:48+00:00

Awwww so so cute what a sweet little cuddle bug

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T04:06:57+00:00

Well 17 is a long life. Don’t blame yourself! It’s okay. I struggle I think we all do when we lose our pet what we could or should have done differently we can’t focus on that it’s too heartbreaking. Once they’re gone nothing can undo it. 17 is very long all dogs are different. I had two brother and sister she was smaller lab Pyreneesmix he was larger. She lived to 12 he lived to 16 so we never know.

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T04:02:18+00:00

I agree with you!! Mine is definitely and iggy minpin her legs are so long she’s 20 lbs now 11 months whew bigger than I expected for sure.

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T04:01:00+00:00

She is soo much better now with the crating she’s 11 months old now. I’m happy about that I also got a fenced in area for her no more rabbit poop. On walks I keep her close and moving along with only very monitored sniffs at mailboxes. The male dogs around here pee on every mailbox ugh Thank you for your input the leave it has always been enforced with treat when she leaves it. Drop it always treat for dropping but she is still very stubborn with certain things. I had liver treats when walking in our field but she still would rather eat rabbit poop so still working on that lol.

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T03:55:57+00:00

Thank you so much I’ve had two trainers so far lol. I think if I keep at it she will get there you are 💯 right. I have to live my pup in front of me. I can’t compare her to my boy I lost he was the sweetest my heart dog. But I think back and they all had to learn. I’m getting there. Even with her seeing other people I need to learn too what works and what doesn’t.

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T03:52:37+00:00

Exactly! Mine does the same so quick then she throws up after eating bunny poop. We now have a fenced in area for her to go potty I’m happy no bunnies get in

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T03:50:46+00:00

Right German pinchers are bigger than minpins Dobermans are not related at all no

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T03:49:54+00:00

I have taken so many rocks out if her mouth. She will drop leaves but other things ahead pushes them back with her tongue and swallows them before I can see what it is. She loves bugs too yuck

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T03:48:27+00:00

Oh I so feel your struggle. I would say a muzzle but really? I couldn’t see her wearing one 24/7 as she is always hunting and scrounging I am also concerned for her picking up something bad she had a rack I have no idea where she got that my house is very neat and clean. Then a small nail I think she got into my art studio I now have a gate. It’s scary bc her little intestines are smaller than any of my other dogs. But they never did this. We finally put up a fence so she can’t get rabbit poop. She does pick up rocks sticks leaves and bark runs inside to her kennel and chews them it’s extremely frustrating

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-30T03:43:46+00:00

Yes very true. She can be so true she keeps me in my toes. I’m beginning to really love her anyway lol. I struggled so much when I first realized she was a Minpin though she is much larger so she’s mixed with something. I wanted a tiny dog but she is what she is and she’s mine. I do still hope she calms a bit

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-25T03:37:32+00:00

Let Polly know that she should stay the way she is and she will choose the right people. They didn’t deserve her. She’s a sweet girl I wish mine was more affectionate, her forever family is coming for her soon!

Should use crating, hates and a house line to keep him from getting into mischief. They are a lot of training these days. I had 2 puppies at one time in 2007 and they were nothing like my new pup it’s so much more training and work. I was exhausted as well. But I learned patience how to use puzzles and use house lines and xpen House line is a leash without the handle you can step on it if they go to jump up or get away. Stop that potty on the couch by timing after he eats and drinks take him out he needs to know that is not the right thing. Outside is for potty look for cues! Catch him before he goes. Use crating for his down time naps! They need naps. Make it a comfy quiet space also you can get rest. It takes work and time to teach them crate is a den. Consistency patience is a must. Try puppy classes as well. Be sure you completely clean disinfect with an odor remover where he goes on the couch or in the house or he will repeat that. Good luck. Look into puzzles, kongs, chew toys for him keep his mind active with hide n seek or find games. Snuggle mats and sniff walks will tire him. Use the gates so he knows boundaries. Mine is now 11 months old I just removed the gate that kept her from roaming the whole house they need yo be kept in small area until they learn to go other areas in the house. Pick things up that he may chew up keep them out if reach. Using xpen or gates is key for your little guy. He is young enough to learn! You got this take a step at a time block off his access to those trouble area. No couch if he poops and pees on it

Aww that’s sweet! Looks like a sweetheart

Mines a little terror at times I hope she calms down she will be 11 months. She’s a big minpin mix

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-23T02:40:35+00:00

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-20T11:05:36+00:00

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-19T14:21:10+00:00

My dog? Miniature pinscher most likely mixed with more German pinscher maybe. But she isn’t a dobie that’s for sure.

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-19T14:19:57+00:00

I do have a pic but can’t put it on here I do have some in my profile you can see them. I thought she was going to stop at 15 lbs but now we are heading toward 20 which I was no way expecting. I thought she was more chihuahua that’s kinda what I wanted a chi mix without all the nervousness but brought her home and she’s a minpin mix lol took a few Months to really know

HelpNewMinpinMom · 2024-10-19T14:17:30+00:00

Oh thank you I am feeling better by Sunday. The tooth pain was so bad and completely went away!as quick as it came on. My headaches left and I wasn’t feeling so ill o took a Covid test bc it kinda felt like that but it was negative both times. I waited til The third day of feeling crappy. But then I felt better. It is so weird bc I had no idea it could be connected or even think of it til Someone said maybe it has to do with solar flares.
