I only breed a litter when I am wanting to breed more show stock for myself. I don’t believe in breeding just to produce puppies.
You may use the contact us page to leave your details and I will contact you when there is a litter expected.
I require information about you prior to approving you as a forever home for one of my miniature pinschers. I am asking to ensure that our puppies are placed in households that will provide a healthy, loving, nurturing environment for our pups.
Adaptable and loving with the whole family Min Pins can fit into almost any household whether it is a unit or a home with a large yard. However, they do have quite a bit of energy for a small dog. They will need plenty of walks or active play sessions but for humans that meet the breeds needs, the Min Pin will make an excellent family companion, even for novice parents.
There are only 4 colours accepted under the Miniature Pinscher Standard.
They are Black, Blue, Chocolate and Solid Red of various shades either with black hairs in the coat (Stag Red) or totally red (Clear Red), All, with the exception of Reds, should have with sharply defined tan markings on cheeks, lips, lower jaw, throat, twin spots above eyes and chest, lower half of forelegs, inside of hindlegs and vent region, lower portion of hocks and feet. All above colours have black penciling on toes without thumb marks except chocolates which have brown penciling.
Any other colours advertised are not correct or registerable.
No they are not. Dobermans are a relatively recent breed developed around 100 years ago by Mr Doberman where as Miniature Pinschers are a ancient breed.
The Miniature Pinscher was recognised as a breed more than 200 years ago and is known as the ZwergPinscher in Germany, its country of origin, where it received official stud book recognition in 1880. There is much speculation as to the origin of the Miniature Pinscher and leading German scientists have included information on dogs in their archeological reports on diggings. From these we are able to piece together an origin which ties Pinschers to one of the oldest family groups the Torfspitzgrupe (turf-rat-group). This theory is supported by two scientists, Drs Rutimeyer and Struder.
Dr Struder’s findings were reported in Die Prahistorischer hunde in 1901, after skeletons of Torfspitz were recovered from numerous lakeside diggings in Switzerland, the stone implements and other evidence clearly classifying dwellings as early stone age. Even at this early stage there were clearly two opposing size tendencies, one toward the medium to large and the other to a dwarf or miniature size
