He’s got great energy and is intelligent and vigorous. He’s an excellent watchdog.” “It is good detective. Living with a Min Pin is similar to living with a toddler who needs constant supervision. But that is only initially. Once it gets family, and then there is no need for extra care. On the contrary, it becomes quite easy to handle Like every dog, it needs early socialisation – exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences – when they’re young,” she added.
