There are very few specimens even today but there is a group of Miniature Pinschers breeders that are fighting to keep him alive. The Federation Cynologique Internationale considers it an extinct breed and therefore removed it from their list.
There probably are some other Pinschers breeds that are not officially recognized as such. Official registration of a breed is a long process that takes time to prove it is a purebred. Besides this, there are many kennel clubs, sport clubs, and registries and business where a dog can be registered by any name the owner or developer wishes.
