Sorry that your dog passed away earlier this summer Jazz
That is always tough. New puppies can be a lot of fun though, Miniature Pinscher's are cute dogs, my parent's neighbors have a couple of them, so adorable
Good luck with the training, I am sure it will happen in due time. I have heard it is hard to train them, that is partially why I like cat's, they are easier to take care of with my work schedule
Hope everyone has a good weekend
