The Miniature Pinscher, often called the “King of Toys” is a proud, fearless giant in a little body. They are a fun loving and loyal breed. This breed was originally bred in Germany to hunt vermin, primarily rats, in homes and stables. Contrary to general belief, the Min Pin was not created by breeding down the Doberman Pinscher. The Min Pin breed is actually a much older breed.
Min Pins are sturdy, compact dogs standing no more than 12.5 inches at the shoulder. The smooth, shiny coat comes in Red, Red stag, Chocolate-and-Rust, Chocolate stag or the most commonly seen Black-and-rust. The dark, slightly oval eyes and high-set ears help bring out a self-possessed, “big dog” personality. A distinguishing characteristic is the Min Pin’s high-stepping “hackney” gait, reminiscent of a hackney horse at the trot.
Our Gents
“Steve” AKA Rocket man of Saphire Ridge is a gorgeous boy with a beautiful attitude. He is from Saphire Ridge Miniature Pinschers out of Montana. He has several champions in his pedigree. He’s all smiles and hugs. Every morning he gives me a nose bump as a good morning kiss.
Rudy is a gorgeous little chocolate and rust male. He weighed 6.5 lbs at his last vet visit. He is a lot of dog in a small package.
He is very loveable and friendly, outgoing and always happy.
Ruger
Ruger is a sweet and feisty boy. He is out of our little Rudy and a red stag female from an outside breeding. He was the only chocolate stag male in the litter, and I loved his personality, even as a tiny boy.

Vladimir is a feisty little man, with lots of flash and high stepping action.
RIP Darby. We lost Darby 3/11/23, due to complications from an emergency C-section delivery. We lost 3 babes, but 4 survived and have been adopted by Dixie, who already had a 6 day old litter of 5. She is doing great and has accepted them as her own.

Cookie is 7/8 min pin, and her puppies will have just a trace of Toy Fox Terrier (1/16th). Standing at 10″, and weighing 8 lbs, she is an awesome little girl. She is extremely friendly and playful. Although not purebred, or registered, I have worked to compile a pedigree as complete as possible. She continues to be my sons best friend. Her daughter CoCo is continuing to carry on her good nature.
