The Austrian Pinscher is a dog breed from Austria recognized by the FCI ( FCI Group 2, Section 2.1, Standard No. 64 ).
origin
The Austrian Pinscher comes from the old Austrian Landpinscher, who was still widespread in the second half of the 19th century as a frugal, versatile farm dog. In 1921 a planned pure breeding was started. Against the German Pinscher, it appears broader, more robust and more primitive. Emil Hauck got to know the dog type on his travels at the beginning of the 20th century and campaigned for recognition as a breed by ÖKV and FCI . On October 16, 1928, this breed was recognized by the ÖKV as an Austrian short-haired pinscher . In 2000 the breed name was changed to Austrian Pinscher .
According to the breed association, however, the number of dogs fell so far in the 1970s that only one stud dog remained, Diocles von Angern . From this the breed was obtained using Landpinschers. Landpinschers are still used in breeding. Landpinschers are dogs that correspond to the Austrian Pinscher in terms of phenotype and are relatively stable in terms of breeding , without being specifically bred as pedigree dogs in the sense of modern dog breeding - see Landrace .
