Our puppies are raised around border collies, a blue heeler, and a great pyrenees.
We live in an area where they are able to go hiking with me, and thoroughly enjoy a good run and a romp in the creek.
All babies will be current on shots and wormed before they leave our home.
Our dogs produce puppies with both ear types. Some with naturally erect ears, and some with the drop type ear. We choose to leave our dogs with natural ears. You can obtain information on cropping by visiting with the veterinarians in your area. Prices vary widely from area to area, and also style of crop. I suggest if you are intending to have your puppy cropped, that you search through minpin photos in books or on the internet. When you find miniature pinscher crop jobs you find attractive, take the picture with you to your vet to give him an idea of the look you favor.
