This is my precious Rocky, he is waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge. He was the love of my life, and a total blessing to me for 8 years.

A little about Miniature Pinschers:
They are a proud, vigorous, hardy, spirited little dogs. The Miniature Pinscher is frequently called "King of the Toys". Originating in Germany where they are known as Reh Pinscher, because of a resemblance to small red deer, it is important to note that the Miniature Pinscher is NOT a miniaturized Doberman.
The "Min Pin's" loving nature, loyalty, and intelligence make it a favorite with all age groups. Bold and flashy with a tendency to show off, his distinctive hackney gait gives him a style few breeds can rival.
Bright, attentive and trainable, the Miniature Pinscher often out performs far larger breeds in the obedience ring.
The Miniature Pinscher's sleek black, blue, chocolate, fawn, or red coat sheds minimally and requires little grooming. They are ideal for apartment dwellers and may obtain sufficient exercise in a very small space. They are unable to tolerate the cold and must never be kept outdoors in the winter.
Hackney-like action, fearless animation, complete self-possession, and spirited presence, that's the "Min Pin"!
They have a nature, and a manner suggestive of a much larger dog. The Min Pin is especially valuable as a watchdog, often keener than a dog twice its size. They are a born show dog too, noted for his lively temperament, intelligence, and pep.
They are always neat and clean, ready for action. Their activity level is very high, but their daily exercise needs are minimal. Although the Miniature Pinscher may look fragile, he is in fact a very sturdy dog and rugged for their size.
A Few Words from one that is owned by Miniature Pinschers:
My Miniature Pinschers are truly loved, and live up to the breeds nickname, "KING OF THE TOYS". Miniature Pinshers are wonderful dogs, they are great watch dogs, as they will let you know if someone is around. I have been around a lot of different breeds, but for me, this is my favorite breed. They are smart, and loving, yet independent. They can usually get along, even if there are several of them together. If there is a squabble, they can usually work it out themselves, without anyone getting hurt. They enjoy the company of other Min Pins also. They are usually very good travelers, if started young and are great to take with you for company on a long drive. I honestly can't imagine life without them.
Their coat is called "Permanent Press". As you don't have to do much too it. Actually bathing more than once a month will dry out their coat, and is not recommended. They can have dry skin, so a little oil on their food, or buying food with Omega 3 & 6 oils added is a good idea. Feeding a top quality food to Min Pins is always recommended, and it will pay off in the long run. They will have prettier coats, and will have less trouble later in life. Min Pins can be prone to dental issues, so they should not be fed people food, or soft or canned dog food, except in a time of illness or emergency, and should have their teeth examined and cleaned by a veterinarian yearly. They can be a little stubborn, but consistency on the owners part will end up working in the long run. Socialization when they are puppies is very important, as they need to be around people, other than their immediate family when they are young, so their protective, guard dog nature doesn't take over and make them a little bit antisocial.
However, when raised right, these are amazing creatures, and I thank God daily for the love I am able to give, and the love I receive from my Miniature Pinschers.

This is Elijah, my very handsome dark Chocolate and Rust male. His sire is Fawn, and is dam is Black & Rust, so he is dilute factored, and could have puppies of any color. He is my little comedian, always making me laugh with his antics. He weighs between 6 & 7 pounds. I have had some beautiful babies sired by this guy, he has produced all the colors except Red and Tan!!!

"Gabriel"
This is Gabriel, my very handsome little Black and Rust male. He has a very mellow disposition and the most awesome markings. His daddy is blue and tan and his mother is Black and Rust. It doesn't look like Gabriel is going to produce Chocolate or Fawn puppies, but he has produced some awesome small Black and Rust, and Blue & Tan puppies. He could produce some Red or Tan puppies, if matched with the right female. His weight ranges between 6 and 7 pounds, depending on how active he is.

He is a very sleek 7 pound Chocolate and Tan male. Samuel is dilute factored, and could produce any and all colors in his puppies, which we hope to see in early 2008.

This is Priscilla Marie. She is one of my very favorite Min Pins of all time. She has been to obedience school, and was the "SUPER STAR", of the class. She is very outgoing and is the best helper when I am working outside. She is a very, very dark Chocolate and Rust. She is about 9 pounds, but she does tend to carry a little extra weight. If you would like to see a copy of Priscilla's pedigree, and more pictures of her, click on the link to Priscilla's Page below.

This is Jill. She is a darling little Chocolate and Rust, weighing in at 7 1/2 to 8 pounds . Jill is exceptionally sweet, and loves everyone. I often say "Jill's never met anyone she didn't like." I am very partial to her bloodlines, I have three of her daughters, and one of her granddaughters. Jill is the mother of some of the cutest Min Pins I have ever raised.
|
This is my sweetheart, Punky. She will steal your heart, and you won't even know she stole it. She is a whole 6 pounds of cuteness. She is Jill's daughter, and my smallest female Min Pin, but of course, she doesn't know that!!! I have never been around a creature that loved life more than this little gal. She is an awesome friend and companion.

Diva Louise is so much fun to have around, she does funny things, and you can tell she knows she is funny. She is just a hoot. She is a 6 pound Chocolate & Rust girl, with some awesome ears. Diva's mother is Black and Rust and her sire is a Fawn, so she could produce puppies of any color. Diva is my lap dog extraordinaire.

This is my beautiful Bonnie Blue. She is a very dark Blue and Tan in coloring. She is Solomon's daughter. She is a little taller than either of her parents at 11 inches tall. She weighs right at 7 pounds. She is very elegant, and honestly one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen. She is as smart as a whip too!!

This is Angel. She is long and lean, a very pretty girl, with long legs. She is built like the reh deer, so she weighs only about 6 to 6 1/2 pounds when she is at ideal body weight. She has not had her ears cropped. Her ears are both up most of the time. She loves toys more than any dog I have ever had. She is a riot. She has had several litters, and has had very small puppies as the rule. Her puppies have been Black and Rust, Chocolate and Rust, Fawn, Tan, and clear Red. So, she believes in those Rainbow litters. HeHe!!!
|
I'd like to introduce "Hope of the Future". Hope for short. She is one of the prettiest Miniature Pinschers I have ever seen. I didn't think I would be wild about her color, but I have decided it is one of my favorite colors now. She is registered as "Tan", which to me is dilute red. She has beautiful Blue Green eyes, and a blue nose and paw pads, which classifies her as a "Dilute" Min Pin.
She is out of Angel's first litter, Solomon is her sire. She is very slender built, similar to her mother, and will probably end up in the 8 pound range when she is full grown.
|
|
This is my little Phebe. She is a pretty petite Fawn girl out of Angel and Elijah. She is just as sweet as she can be, she will probably end up in the 5 1/2 to 6 pound range.
|

This is my little Princess, Chanel. Chanel is a rich, dark Chocolate and Rust color, and is a full sister to Samuel pictured above. Her mom is Punky and her dad is Solomon. She is very petite, and has the cutest face and excellent confirmation. She is right at 5 1/2 pounds at a year old.
|
|
Meet the beautiful Fawn girl Timnah. She is Bonnie and Elijah's daughter. She is going to be average in size, probably will top out at 8 1/2 to 9 pounds. She has the most beautiful eyes, and is so incredibly beautiful with excellent confirmation. She was born in February of 2007, so sometime in 2008 we should see some nice dilute puppies out of Timnah.
|
This is the light of my life, Hannah. She is Jill and Elijah's daughter. She is just the cutest little gal, and she goes everywhere with her me. I'm not sure I will ever let her have a litter, as she is not a very big girl, but she will stay here at Jackpins Ranch her entire life. To see more pictures of Hannah, click on the link below.
