Good with other dogs: Doberman Pinscher compared to Miniature Pinscher Early socialization plays an important role in the way a dog is able to enjoy the company of other dogs. Miniature Pinschers are smaller and easier to manage, but these small companion dogs still need to learn to be comfortable around other dogs.

Never leave your pet alone with other dogs even for a short period of time. Supervision is very important and helps to prevent any unfortunate accidents. As with Doberman Pinschers, it is even more important to have your Doberman comfortable around other dogs.

Mini Pinscher vs Doberman: Exercise needs Doberman Pinschers require a great deal of exercise and physical activity every day.
This large and active breed needs owners who have the same high energy level and can create plenty of opportunities for the dog to stay active each day.

The popular and most widely accepted story of the development of the Doberman pinscher tells of a tax collector, Louis Dobermann, who wanted a dog of medium size to be a guard dog and a companion.
Dobermann is said to have cross-bred Rottweilers, Great Danes and most likely German pinschers to finally acquire the type of dog he wanted. This story, too, is one that cannot be documented, but considering the size and attributes of the Doberman, it is possible. Other than the difference in size, these two pinschers have an uncanny resemblance to each other, but the similarities don't stop there.
The AKC describes both breeds as active and needing regular exercise. Both breeds make excellent companions and watchdogs, ready to sound the alarm when an intruder is present. And because the feisty min pin thinks he is a standard-sized dog, both will be at the ready to back up a warning to a stranger -- although the Doberman is more likely to make an impression.
With both breeds having short coats, grooming requirements for both the mini and the Doberman pinscher are minimal.
An occasional brush and shampoo will keep either dog clean and looking nice. If you love the look of both pinschers and are enchanted with their personality traits as well, a few distinctions may help you decide which of the two breeds is right for you. Both need daily exercise, but if you live in an apartment or lack a yard for a larger dog, the min pin would be the better choice.
