Unfortunately
the minpin has a reputation for being nippy and yappy. A lot
of people believe that they have to accept this to own this
wonderful little breed. What most don't realize is that they
don't have to be this way. With experienced breeding and
socialization, socialization, socialization they can be
stable, happy, attentive companions.
I breed for
temperament first and foremost. Without good temperament,
you have nothing. I handle my puppies frequently from the
day they are born. I introduce them to new situations and
experiences as they grow. As soon as their ears open, I play
CDs of traffic, birds and weather storms. I play a CD of
Bill Cosby for the laughing and clapping. By the time they
are 8 weeks old they have met children, been on car rides,
been outside running free and have either been to dog shows
or a local pet store many times.
I let their
mothers do the weaning and never separate them. The puppies
mix with my other dogs, under supervision, from the time
they can walk.
I give a
lifetime health guarantee. My puppies are CKC registered and
have all champion pedigrees. Their tails and dewclaws are
done and they are fully up to date on their immunizations
and dewormings. They are sound in mind and body, trusting,
fun loving affectionate and intelligent. I do not crop my
companion puppies.
I provide a
contract that addresses the pertinent issues and protects us
both. The companion puppies are $1,375.00 and the show puppies
start at $2,000. A $450.00 deposit will guarantee you a
puppy. I will refund this deposit if, for some reason, I
cannot provide you with the puppy of your choice. A deposit
is an indication of your commitment and will not be refunded
if you change your mind. It's a big step - think it through
carefully |
