Meet Herbert, a playful and loyal 5.5 year old Red Miniture Pincher. We adopted Herbert near the end of August 2025 from Orange County Animal Care Shelter and fell in love with him at first sight. We knew he would be a great addition to our family and other small dog (chihuahua/dachshund mix) and he has been nothing but great with her, they quickly became fast friends. We have two children, a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old baby, and as much patience as Herbert has, our toddler just terrorizes him and is too rough with him. Herbert has nipped at her a few times because of our toddler chasing and provoking him to retaliate. With that said, again he is an amazing and loyal pup plus super friendly, but we don’t believe young children to be a suitable fit for Herbert. He does really well with the 6 month old baby and is a great watchdog for her and her sister, but the wild and craziness that toddlers can bring we believe can overstimulate Herbert and cause issues. Older children OK!
