"The Miniature Pinscher originated in Germany, where it has been used for several hundred years as a formidable ratter, a trusted watchdog and a cherished companion.  It also has been bred for many years in Scandinavia, where it remains highly popular to this day. While the precise ancestry of the breed is unknown, the Miniature Pinscher most likely is a direct descendent of its larger cousin, the German Pinscher.  Other contributors are thought to include assorted terriers, the Dachshund and the Italian Greyhound.  The Min Pin is often mistaken for a miniature Doberman Pinscher, but it has no direct relation to that breed \u2013 other than that both the Miniature Pinscher and the Doberman may share the German Pinscher as a common ancestor.  There is no Doberman blood in any Miniature Piinscher."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
