Miniature Pinscher Versus Samoyed: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Miniature Pinscher and for the Samoyed. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Miniature Pinscher or the Samoyed.
Miniature Pinscher versus Samoyed: Overview
A very important difference between the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Miniature Pinscher is a tiny-sized dog while the Samoyed 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.
On the other hand, the Samoyed belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
Miniature Pinscher versus Samoyed: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Miniature Pinscher to the Samoyed based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed
| Factor | Miniature Pinscher | Samoyed |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerates Cold Weather | 1/5 | 5/5 |
| Does NOT Drool | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Height | 10 to 12 inches tall at the shoulder | 1 foot, 7 inches to 2 feet tall at the shoulder |

| Common Health Problems and Recommended Health Tests |
|
|
| Popularity out of 200 Dog Breeds | 67 | 61 |
| Intelligence Rank (out of 130 Dog Breeds) | 37 | 33 |
Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Miniature Pinscher in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Samoyed. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Miniature Pinscher is 73 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Samoyed is 71 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Miniature Pinscher is a better pet than the Samoyed. So, you should get the Miniature Pinscher!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
The Most Remarkable Differences Between the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed
Below is a list of where the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed are most different:
The Similarities Between the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed
The Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed are very similar in certain aspects. Below is the list of where the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed are most similar:
Size (Weight and Height) of Miniature Pinscher versus Samoyed
Now, let us discuss the difference in size between the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed.
Miniature Pinschers weigh 8 to 11 pounds when fully grown. Miniature Pinschers are 10 to 12 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown.
On the other hand, Samoyeds weigh 50 to 60 pounds when fully grown. Samoyeds are 1 foot, 7 inches to 2 feet tall at the shoulder when fully grown.
Lifespan of Miniature Pinscher versus Samoyed

The lifespan of Samoyeds is between 12 to 14 years. The average lifespan of Samoyeds is 13.0 years.
Samoyeds live longer than Miniature Pinschers.
Temperament of the Samoyed Versus the Miniature Pinscher
The Miniature Pinscher has a better temperament than the Samoyed.
This is because the temperament score for the Miniature Pinscher is 82.5 percent while the temperament score for the Samoyed is 80.3 percent, according to the American Temperament Test Society (ATTS).
The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.
Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 82.5 percent, the Miniature Pinscher has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 80.3 percent, the Samoyed has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed by measuring the temperaments of 57 Miniature Pinschers and 294 Samoyeds.
Price of Miniature Pinscher versus Price of Samoyed
The average price of the Miniature Pinscher puppy is $1470. The price of the Miniature Pinscher typically ranges from $825 – $1500. However, the price of a Miniature Pinscher can be as low as $100 and as high as $50000. We obtained this price information by reviewing the prices of 159 Miniature Pinscher puppies listed for sale from various sources.
The average price of the Samoyed puppy is $2460. The price of the Samoyed typically ranges from $1500 – $3000. However, the price of the Samoyed can be as low as $800 and as high as $5500. We obtained this price information by collecting and reviewing the prices of 114 Samoyed puppies listed for sale from various sources.
The Samoyed is more expensive than the Miniature Pinscher.
| Miniature Pinscher | Samoyed | |
|---|---|---|
| Average Price | $1470 | $2460 |
| Price Range | $825 to $1500 | $1500 to $3000 |
The charts below show the price distribution for the Miniature Pinscher and Samoyed. For different price points, the charts show how many Miniature Pinscher puppies or how many Samoyed puppies are listed for sale at those price points.

A breakdown of the prices of Samoyeds
Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Miniature Pinscher puppy or the Samoyed puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.
You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.
Adopting the Miniature Pinscher versus Adopting the Samoyed
You may consider adopting a dog instead of buying a puppy. Many Miniature Pinschers and many Samoyeds are currently available for adoption.
These adorable and cute dogs are waiting in dog shelters hoping that someday someone will rescue them. Furthermore, adoption costs are lesser than the cost of a new puppy. Dog adoption costs are usually around $300. In addition to your local dog shelter, a good place online to see dogs that are available for adoption is petfinder.com.
Below is an adorable Male Miniature Pinscher named Flurry that is currently available for adoption on Petfinder.com. You can find other lovely adoptable Miniature Pinschers like Flurry on pefinder.com.
Also, like Miniature Pinschers, Samoyeds are also available for adoption. For example, We Have No Dogs Available At This Time. is a Male Samoyed that is currently available for adoption on petfinder.com. You can find more Samoyeds like We Have No Dogs Available At This Time. that are up for adoption on petfinder.com.

The Intelligence of the Miniature Pinscher versus the Intelligence of the Samoyed
| Miniature Pinscher | Samoyed | |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence Rank | 37 out of 130 dog breeds | 33 out of 130 dog breeds |
| Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After 15 To 25 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 15 To 25 Repetitions |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Miniature Pinscher has an obedience intelligence rank of 37 out of 130 dog breeds. The Miniature Pinscher belongs to the `Above Average Working Dogs` category. This means that Miniature Pinschers tend to learn new commands after 15 to 25 repetitions.
The Samoyed has an obedience intelligence rank of 33 out of 130 dog breeds. The Samoyed belongs to the `Above Average Working Dogs` category. This means that Samoyeds tend to learn new commands after 15 to 25 repetitions.
The Samoyed is more intelligent than the Miniature Pinscher.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Miniature Pinscher versus Popularity of Samoyed
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Samoyed is more popular with dog owners than the Miniature Pinscher. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Samoyed is 61 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Miniature Pinscher is 67 out of about 200 dog breeds.
Popularity of Miniature Pinscher
Popularity of Samoyed

| 2018 | 70 | 59 |
| 2019 | 74 | 58 |
| 2020 | 77 | 56 |
Health Problems of Miniature Pinscher versus Health Problems of Samoyed
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Samoyed is prone to more genetic health problems than the Miniature Pinscher.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Samoyed than for the Miniature Pinscher.
3 health tests are recommended for Miniature Pinscher while 5 tests are recommended for the Samoyed.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Miniature Pinschers and in Samoyeds.
Miniature Pinscher Health Problems
Miniature Pinschers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Miniature Pinscher puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Miniature Pinscher puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Miniature Pinscher breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Miniature Pinschers for:
You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Miniature Pinschers here.
Samoyed Health Problems
Samoyeds are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Samoyed puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Samoyed puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Samoyed breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Samoyeds for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Miniature Pinschers and Samoyeds
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Miniature Pinscher Breed is Legg-Calve-Perthes problems.
This is because the Miniature Pinscher ranks 7 out of 40 dog breeds for Legg-Calve-Perthes problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 169 Miniature Pinschers, 2 of them had Legg-Calve-Perthes problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Miniature Pinschers, and how common these diseases are in Miniature Pinschers relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Samoyed Breed is Advanced Cardiac problems.
This is because the Samoyed ranks 46 out of 71 dog breeds for Advanced Cardiac problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 486 Samoyeds, 1 of them had Advanced Cardiac problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Samoyeds, and how common these diseases are in Samoyeds relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Miniature Pinscher and in Samoyed and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Miniature Pinscher and the Samoyed:
| Disease | Miniature Pinscher Rank | Samoyed Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Legg-Calve-Perthes problems | 7 out of 40 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Eyes problems | 39 out of 182 dog breeds | 123 out of 182 dog breeds |
| Patella problems | 68 out of 145 dog breeds | 98 out of 145 dog breeds |
| Hips problems | 190 out of 198 dog breeds | 110 out of 198 dog breeds |
| Advanced Cardiac problems | Not Common | 46 out of 71 dog breeds |
| Congenital Cardiac problems | Not Common | 50 out of 159 dog breeds |
| Elbow problems | Not Common | 100 out of 144 dog breeds |
| Thyroid problems | Not Common | 103 out of 115 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
