Why should I purchase a purebred AKC Miniature Pinscher from show blood lines, I only need a pet? This is a common question I get from people interested in a Min Pin for a pet. Breeders put a lot of thought into each breeding. Producing a desirable pup is not an accident. Breeders try to utilize parents that have a minimum of poor qualities and an abundance of good qualities. An ideal Min Pin should be physically sound, have a good temperament with a minimum of genetic problems. This can only be accomplished on a consistent basis, where the breeder has a good knowledge of both the sire's and dam's family history. Pups usually are no better than the genetic material supplied to them. It can't be said enough, good pups come from quality parents. To insure that these pedigrees (family tree), are accurate AKC can check breeders records. Within the last ten years, AKC has required breeders to have their males used for stud to have a DNA profile, thus pups sired by a male can be traced genetically back to this sire. |
My primary goal is to maintain Miniature Pinschers who are physically and mentally sound and are a joy to be around. Occasionally, I have an adult who would make some family a great companion. |

All puppies will have a written Fl health certificate/vet exam and current vaccinations, fecal check and microchip. Tails are docked and dewclaws are removed. Ear cropping is left up to the new owner. Here at Keltic Kennels my emphasis is on health and temperament without sacrificing structure. My puppies are guaranteed for life against any life threatening genetic faults, by replacement of another pup at no charge. Companion puppies are $1000.00, deposits are $150, personal check preferred . Balance is due two weeks prior to pick up date. I place all pet puppies based on the personality of the puppy and the family that it will become part of. Size and colour should be secondary to finding a happy healthy pet that will fit your lifestyle. Remember, adding a puppy to your family is a life long commitment. The right fit for the puppy and your family is important. Please remember your puppy will need your guidance and training to make him a wonderful member of your family. Min pins have an average life span of 12 + years. New puppies are a considerable amount of work, puppies will have potty accidents and tear things up, are you ready to accept them and willing to help them grow. Be sure you are ready to make that commitment before you purchase one. Their lives are precious and they deserve the best life you can give them. I would not recommend a Min Pin puppy for a household with infants or toddlers. Households with young children should consider a larger dog that can withstand the knocks of childhood. Min Pin puppies are very small (2 lb. @ 8 weeks old) and can be seriously injured by rough treatment. Not only physically but mentally as well. |
I believe in minimal vaccinations and feeding an all raw meat diet. I feed chicken, Turkey, Pork, Beef, Fish, raw meaty bones and a variety of organ meats. |
