UKC has accepted the Fawn MINPIN for the conformation ring !!!!
HOWDY !! Welcome to Spirit MinPins!! We're glad you dropped by and
we hope you enjoy your visit with us and our babies. We just love company,
don't we guys! So browse around and email us if you have any
questions!
We're located in Capac, Michigan,
owning pets of color!! We are in love with all the many colors that this
wonderful lil dog comes in. We are licensed and inspected regularly.
The minpin is a lively breed that comes in
many wonderful colors. There is the Black with rust or tan markings,
the Chocolate with rust or tan markings, the Stag Red and the Red for a start.
These colors are the accepted colors of the Miniature Pinscher Club
of America and what you will see in the conformation rings at dog shows.
BUT AKC also allows the Blue with rust or tan markings, the Rust (like
a fawn doberman) and the Tan (a dilute red). You will also see blue stag
as well in some litters!! All colors are accepted for obedience, agility,
and rally to name a few things. They ALL make wonderful pets and loving
companions!
We will slowly be testing all our dogs for
MPSV VI, and OFA'ing them as well. This will be accomplished over the
next year and we will post the results here for everyone to see as we get
them back. We've learned quite a bit and am applying what we have learned
into out breeding program.
We were recently inspected by the American
Kennel Club and have been found to be in compliance. Our DNA's, kennel
building, and condition of our dogs were inspected and found to be in compliance
and in some cases above what AKC looks for in it's inspections..
There are several different registries. American Kennel Club - The main registry
in the U.S. and offers conformation, obedience, hunting etc., for you and
your dog. They require DNA on males if used quite often, and there is talk
of DNAing the females. That has been going around for a couple years now,
so not sure when it will ever go into effect, but I think it would be a good
idea. United Kennel Club - The 2nd most popular
registry and gaining more and more. They don't allow professional handlers,
everyone has to be owner handled, which makes the playing field fair. They
offer obedience, hunting, weight pulls, etc. The shows are pretty spread
out right now but getting more popular with AKC backing the PAWS Proposal.
Canadian Kennel Club - Ranks up with the AKC as far as prestige. This is
for Canadian residents. Continental Kennel Club - this club
accepts any dog, even mutts. It relies on breeders to say they are such and
such breed. So a breeder can have an accidental breeding of 2 different breeds
and register the litter as the one they closely resemble. CKC doesn't ask
any questions. Many AKC members that have been suspended, usually more over
to CKC. Suspended by AKC can be for falsifying papers, having a charge for
abuse/neglect, or even for having your records not acceptable to them.
There are even more. Having AKC papers don't necessarily mean you have the
best, but AKC is very strict on it's guidelines and with it's mandatory DNA,
harder to falsify registrations. All registries have their own rules. Check
out the registry before you buy your pup.
We will be DNA'ing our breeding females over
the next several months to get EVERYONE here DNA'd to avoid any more gossip
on this subject. I don't understand how people that don't know anyone,
never been to someone's house, can state such and such about them as if it's
a fact. I guess small minds need something to gossip about to make
them feel important.
We are not a vet! Our vet is very good and
takes good care of our dogs. The links we provide are only for
information and by no means meant to replace a vet for your dog/puppy.
Some things are treatable w/out a visit, but some things are NOT.
Unfortunately, some vets see you coming and charge for non existent
problems for the money and not for the well fare of the pet. I'm
lucky my vet loves his patients and researches problems he's not
familiar with and gives me the very best care he can.
You can reach me by calling 810-395-9111
