Miniature Pinscher Written by Alexander Bentley Photo by Alice Lin
Miniature pinschers. It’s easy to assume with a name like that, this lovely little dog is a perfect copy of the larger german (or doberman) pinscher, at one-eighth the size.
M
niature Pinschers are toy-sized, rarely topping 12 poundsbut anyone who think these tiny dogs are calm lap or purse companions is in for a surprise; the min pin is a constantly moving ball of pure energy. Think “jet-powered toddler on a sugar rush” and you’ll be close.
MINIATURE PINSCHER NICKNAME
Min Pin, King Of The Toys, Reh Pinscher, Zwergpinsc
It’s generally considered true that a miniature pinscher will be able to fit through any hole larger than a human fist. And, if they can get loose, a miniature pinscher will. It’s not they don’t love their people (they do), it’s just that they really want to run around and explore everything. Forever.
ORIGIN
Germany
TYPE
Purebred
GROUP
Toy
COAT
Short
Well kept fences and leashes are a must with this curious breed in general: although dedicated training also helps.While sharp, min pin are a wildly stubborn breed who’ll resist training to the best of their ability. Persistence is the key and benefits of training are more than just not having clean up doggie doo inside the house.
COLOUR
Black, Black and Tan, Brown, Red, Blue
MAX LIFE EXPECTANCY
14 years
MAX HEIGHT
13 in
Untrained miniature pinschers think they are the king of all they survey, and they’ll act like it, it’s their default way of thinking. It’s important to let them know that , while loved, they’re not in charge of the world.
MAX WEIGHT
10 lbs
PERSONALITY
Energetic, Friendly, Independent, Loyal, Out-Going, Alert, Playful, Responsive
HEALTH
Minor Concerns: Legg-Calvés-Perthes, Patellar Luxation, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
Like many toy breeds, the min pin has several health issues revolving around their cute little twig-like legs. it’s important to do a bit research and ask a vet about the specifics, as well as making sure the dog doesn’t get underfoot. Be careful when the miniature pinscher are around children too - they don’t take well to roughhousing. A properly socialized miniature pinscher gets along well with other dogs, but they really shine around people who can love them for their high- energy antics. Even when they (finally) get tired, a min pin will continue to slather on the adorable antics and wiggle its way onto a lap or under covers for hugs. For an experienced dog owner, the miniature pinscher is a wonderful - if unrepentantly spunky - companion. Their itty-bitty size is perfect for smaller homes, while their big personalities can fill even the largest spaces. With lots of love, a miniature pinscher can live deep into its teen, providing an almost endless stream of energetic friendship.

How to Pack a Dog Friendly Emergency Overnight Bag Written By: Corick Stephunt Infographic by Alice Lin
One of the most stressful pet parenting situations are being called away from home unexpectedly and needing to find a last minute dog-sitter. Perhaps the weather is really bad and you are stranded at the office. Or maybe there is a health emergency and you have to rush to the hospital.
W
hatever the reason, today we’re going to share how to prepare a standing dog-friendly overnight bag so that when your neighbour, auntie or friend has to step in at a moment notice they will have everything they could possibly need for your beloved fur-monster with no fuss!
01. A Large Bag
Choose a bag that will comfortably house all of the overnight care goodies that we plan to pack on this list.
02. A Dog Travel Bed
If your dog is going to stay overnight at someone else’s house, they are going to need their own bed. Pack a nifty travel dog bed, something that folds up nice and small but stretches out into a deluxe slumber space.
03. Dog Food
An air-tight container of dog food is also a must, because after all puppy has to eat.

04. An Extra Leash
Have a back up leash included in this bag too. Why? Because this way when your dog-sitter arrives in case of emergency they don’t have to spend any time searching for your dog’s everyday leash.
05. A Chew Toy
Consider including a multipurpose chew toy to help keep your pup occupied in their new surroundings.
06. Travel Dog Bowl
A travel bowl is also a good idea so that your dog doesn’t have to commandeer one of your dog-sitter’s everyday dishes.
07. Dog Towel
This double as a second sleeping space for your pupster, but it will also help to protect your dog-sitters’ couch from pesky dog hairs. Plus it will be needed for mucky paws or any unexpected baths
“Once your dog overnight bag is all neatly packed and organized there is only one last thing left to do store it in a place that is easily accessible at a moment’s notice.”

08. Organic Dog Treats
Pop an bag of dog treats into the overnight bag so that your dog-sitter can spoil your pup. The treats can help reinforce positive behaviours in a pup too.
09. A Dog Teddy Bear Leash
And, of course, no sleepover would be complete without a Teddy Bear Toy, because everyone needs a teddy bear to sleep well when away from home!
10. A Dog Sweater
Pack your dog a sweater in their overnight bag too. It’s not just to look cute — it will keep them dry on rainy walks and warm on chilly nights.
Don’t allow a dog to ride with it head outside a car window, as dirt and debris can cause injury or infection.
Dogs should never ride on a driver’s lap.
Small pets should ride in crates or travel-safe dog beds.
Large dogs should be restrained with harnesses linked to a car’s seat belts.
11. A List
And finally include a little list that contains all of your dog’s emergency numbers and information.
12.Final Tip
Store the bag in a place that is easily accessible at a moment’s notice.

Ten Of The Cutest Dog Breeds Written by: Cindy Bren Infographic by: Alice Lin All dogs are cute, but some breeds have that extra “je ne sais quoi” that makes them irresistible. For this reason, some of these breeds are popular in greeting cards, commercials and other marketing materials.
W
hen you think of cute puppies, which breeds come to mind? Chances are, you think of the same breeds everyone else in Americas knows and loves: Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Bulldogs, Beagles, Siberian Huskies, etc. These may be the most popular breeds in the Americas but that definitely doesn’t mean they are the cutest dogs out there. Many people believe that a dog loves its owner more than life itself. Dogs are playful, loyal, and
their crazy antics keep us in stitches all day. Although dog lovers won’t argue about whether or not you should own a dog, there are certainly a number of opinions on which are the cutest breeds that will be best for your family, especially if you have children to think about. So, for those of you who aren’t familiar with all of the several hundred breeds available, here is a list of what I think are the ten cutest breeds of dog.

Things We Adore: Inupan
For Peeps Who Loves Pups Written By: Holly Hugo
“Beware! One Capsule Toy Is Never Enough!” The recent trend for gachapon machines seems to be dogs, but today we found an utterly bizarre–and adorable–take on the theme: “Inupan” or “Doggy Bread!” Just as the name implies, the figures are basically dogs plus…bread. Or dogs on bread. Or, even, dogs in bread!

ctually, the combination of food and animals is very popular. One of the series is named “Inupan” and has been new ones since the start of 2013. Now on its eighth series, this particular capsule toy is a mix of bread and dog! This series consists all various kinds of dogs, all stuffed inside a different kind of cakes and sandwiches. If you ever wanted a Corgi in a hot dog bun, then this is the perfect gacha gacha series for you. The latest series featured toys such as a dog in a burger, and a Jack Russell in a sandwich. Maybe somebody is taking the term “hot dog” a bit too literally!
