Personality

The brave, sober, energetic, loyal, protective, humorous German Pinscher can be an ideal companion dog. It is lively but docile, quite versatile, and a vocal guard dog. Tend to be hyperactive as puppies if not given enough to occupy mind and body. This breed only barks when it feels it is necessary, which may be often. Visitors will be announced with loud barking but then things usually calm down quickly. This breed needs to know that when the family is gone, it owns everything and when the family is home it owns nothing.

The German Pincher is not good with children and other dogs. Normally they get along well with other household pets. However, they are ratters and when outdoors they will chase a cat, possibly hurting it.

Living Conditions

The German Pinscher will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. They should have a tight fenced-in yard as this breed will run off chasing anything that moves quickly.
