THE MINIATURE PINSCHER HAS TEN [10] NATURAL POSSIBLE COLORS WITH SHADE VARIATIONS IN EACH
 

BLACK AND RUST OR TAN

Delta

CHOCOLATE AND RUST OR TAN

BLUE AND RUST OR TAN

FAWN / ISABELLA AND RUST OR TAN

THE SELF COLORED RED ......... WHERE THE COLOR IS A VERY CLEAR RED WITH A SELF-COLORED NOSE.   THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN A RED WITH BAD PIGMENT THAT WE SEE QUITE OFTEN IN THE RING THAT HAS BEEN "FIXED" COSMETICALLY TO DARKEN THE NOSE AND NAILS (Note: AKC listed a self colored red a friend owned as TAN many years ago, he was also referred to as a DILUTE RED and a CHAMPAGNE FAWN by breeders)

End of G. Curran's Quote and I added the pictures of my own dogs.

There is NOT suppose to be any white on a Miniature Pinscher.  Many puppies are born with some white but normally this goes away by the time they are a 8 weeks old.

There are many colors that are considered gone.  The Harlequin, a merle colored dog, and Brindle to name two.  I've recently seen 2 brindles and both parents appear to be 100% Min Pin.  Normally when you see brindles and other odd colors, there is a mix in there somewhere.  Everything I've read about the Harlequins from the past and in my research has mentioned them to be merle in color.
