AUSTRIAN PINSCHER

Care

Exercise

If the breed is living on a farm, then they have plenty of space and time to go for a walk, but if it stays indoors they should go for a regular walk or jogging sessions. They are even compatible with bike rides or playing fly ball.

Grooming

The Pinscher sheds a lot and they need brushing daily or at least 4 to 5 times a week. These dogs are smelly and dirty so they require bathing as and when required but too much of bathing can damage their natural oil pores. To remove bacteria from the mouth, brushing should be regularly followed by clipping of nails.

Health Problems

Apparently, this breed does not have significant health issues other than hip joint dislocation and a heart problem is a hereditary trait.

Training

Training the dog is not a primary concern, but it requires a strong person to guide and control. Interacting sessions are necessary to avoid them being possessive and socialize with everybody. As they are amongst the intelligent group of dog, they catch up quickly and put effort to be obedient.

Feeding

The breed should be fed with 2½ to 3 cups of high-quality dry food twice a day.
