Well, they were bred by the Germans. Their job is to hunt down rats, grab them by the neck, and shake them until they're dead. They may be cute, but they don't know it, or care. They think they are big dogs. They seem to have no fear of anything. I know the video above shows a lil dog running with cute action. These are not scared lil toy dogs. They are aggressive watchdogs. They are smart, but have very short attention spans. They don't want to do tricks. They want to eat(too much,) play hard, stay warm, and explode towards any suspicious sound they hear. They are real dogs in smaller bodies. They seem at home in dark spaces. Most likely that comes from the Germans needing a small dog to get into the dark small spaces rats can fit into.

^^That's the best example (on the net) of a minpin. They are usually larger than the little bitch in the video above. This video is typical. They aren't afraid of larger dogs. They also take every cheap shot opportunity that comes their way. That Dobie stops paying attention for just a moment, and the minpin takes advantage. These are intense dogs. People who think they are getting a typical lil toy dog will be highly challenged when they get home. They will find a way to play. This is not a Poodle etc.:
