A very important difference between the Miniature Pinscher and the Redbone Coonhound is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Miniature Pinscher is a tiny-sized dog while the Redbone Coonhound is a medium-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Miniature Pinscher belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
