History: The German Pinscher has been recognized in Germany since 1879. It was brought back from near extinction by Herr Werner Jung after the Second World War. They were redeveloped the breed to standard by using an older purebred female, Kitti v. Bodestrand, initially using larger Miniature Pinschers. All present-day German Pinschers stem from this "founding mother". The German Pinscher was recognized by the United Kennel Club in March 1991.
