From the jacket flap

The Miniature Pinscher Reigning King of Toys Nicknamed "King of the Toys," the Miniature Pinscher is distinguished by its well-groomed appearance, self-confident deportment and characteristic hackney-like gait. Often mistakenly believed to be a smaller version of the Doberman Pinscher, this sturdy, affable breed originated in Germany well before the Doberman and makes a great pet for the city or the country. Despite his size, the spirited Miniature Pinscher thinks he is a very large dog. The Miniature Pinscher is outgoing, fearless, animated and intensely curious. Always full of energy and enthusiasm, he is dynamite in a small package. With his lively, headstrong temperament, the Miniature Pinscher can be a handful, but with the right guidance he is a loyal, attentive and endearing companion.
