The Carlin Pinscher is a mixed-breed dog, originating from the Miniature Pinscher and the Pug. It is a relatively new type of dog, bred by various individuals since the mid-1990s. They are not yet a recognized purebred dog breed.
Temperament: Carlins are an intelligent breed of dog;
however, they are not as intelligent as breeds such as Border
Collies or Poodles. They can also be stubborn and independent.
With proper socialization, Carlins can co-exist peacefully
with cats, other dogs, and even birds such as parrots.
Children and Carlins can live together only when the child
is respectful of the dog's space and body. Puppies raised with
kind children make for kind grown-up dogs. Almost any puppy or
dog that is teased, tormented, or otherwise mistreated will
react in a negative manner such as biting or scratching. With
very young children, extra caution is necessary. Puppies don't
understand that a toddler isn't being mean on purpose and may
bite or scratch to get away from pulling and pinching little
hands.
As with most puppies, training them takes patience. Carlins
in particular are strong-willed dogs that require a consistent
environment. While not hyperactive, they are not wallflowers,
either. Carlins are smart and, like all smart dogs, they need
to be mentally stimulated or they get bored. Boredom quickly
leads to destructive behaviors such as chewing, digging, and
nuisance barking.
Giving a Carlin a job at which he can work helps to burn
off energy, keeps him occupied, and strengthens the bond
between dog and owner. A Carlin's job might be following
simple obedience commands to earn his meals or treats,
learning and performing simple tricks, or a good workout
retrieving a ball. Simply putting a Carlin into a yard alone
or with another dog to play is not enough; they need to work
daily. Owners should spend time and energy training and
mentally stimulating the Carlin, especially when he is a
puppy.
Carlins are affectionate without being clingy. They can be
aloof with strangers and should be well-socialized as puppies
to prevent them from becoming overly suspicious of people
outside of their family. These dogs are very bold 'big dogs in
little bodies' and must be monitored around other dogs to
prevent the Carlin from getting in over its head, as it
doesn't seem to realize that it weighs only 15 pounds.
Health: Not much is known about the long-term health
of Carlins, simply because they haven't been around long
enough and there aren't enough of them to accurately compile
data. However, no serious debilitating issues have presented
at this time.
