About our family, two and four legged.
Here is a little history behind our site. We want you to understand the family and our MinPin puppies come from, why we raise them, and how much we really LOVE it.
We raise our MinpPin puppies in are small town in Wisconsin. The doggies are first our friends, pets, and companions. They keep us company and give us a lot of enjoyment. Our family consists of myself, Glori, and my husband Charlie. We have two children; our son Daniel and our daughter Melissa. Daniel still lives with us with his wife Chastity and there two children. Melissa and her husband Eric with their there two Children live on the other side of town the kids still help out with the MinPin puppies as well as likes to play with the new MinPins and Puppies when we have them. We all spend time with the Minpins and there puppies, though I spend the most time with them as I take care of them, feed, water, and run to the vet's for checkups.
We started hobby breeding several years ago, in 1998. At that time we were raising Cocker spaniels. We learned a lot about breeding, raising Minpin puppies, coat colors, and overall health of the dogs. All of our loved Cocker spaniels have passed on to doggie heaven, Baby-Doll was the last to leave us in the late Winter of "07" at the age of 15 years. She enjoyed her retired life and still loved the company of our Minppin puppies up to the end.
We believe in feeding a good quality dog food to our babies and adults. We feed Diamond brand dog food. Our baby MinPins are on diamond brand puppy food. Our adult Min-Pins are eating a mix of adult lamb and rice and chicken formula. We believe the more natural the dog food formula the better it is for your puppy or adult dog. We don't like dog food that has a high content of corn fillers as they are not good for dogs.
In 1995 we bought our first MinPin as a pet only, her name was Shadow. Shadow had a long and happy doggie life with us. She road around on the lawn mower, ridding on our lap. We lost Shadow after 16 years and 4 months in December of 2011. She will be remembered always!
In 1998 we bought our first MinPin to raise puppy's from, as our son Daniel wanted a little puppies of his own to raise. This was going to be Thumper and Shadow. A black and tan female, a black and tan male. Shadow came from Norfolk VA. and Thumper from Appleton Wi. We have kept Minpin puppies from them and bought more puppy's and dogs as time has passed. We have the different colors of Min Pin's; black and tan, black and rust, Stag Red . We now have a 6 MinPins. Some are just pets, some are raising puppies for us, and some are retired. They are raised in the house. Our dogs are allowed to run outside and are able to go inside in the heat of the summer day or the cold winter days and nights. They have doggie doors and yards to run in. Ahhh the leisure life of a dog! It does seem that our lives no longer revolve around our 2 legged children, but our 4 legged ones!.
