Harr's Mighty Mouse

Mouse is sort of our mascot, he is out of one of our first litters born many years ago.

Mouse will always remain on our main page and in our hearts.

Hi! My name is Mouse and I am only eight weeks old. I come from a very loving environment. I was born in my breeder's kitchen and was raised right in her home with my brothers and sisters. My breeder made sure I got a good home with people who really wanted me, who had a safe fenced play area for me and did not leave me alone all day every day. I had all the vaccines required for my age, was de-wormed twice, had my poor tail docked and my dew claws removed at 3 days old and was examined by a vet at least twice before I was allowed to go to my new home. I tell you that was a lot of stuff for a little guy.  My breeder wanted to make sure that all was well with me and that I didn't need any special treatment or have any problems or defects. I guess she knew what she was doing because I have great people who love me and take care of me. I may be little but I am very mighty, happy and healthy.

 

 -THE MINIATURE PINSCHER-

The Miniature Pinscher originated in Germany where terrier-like breeds known as "pinschers" have been used as ratters for at least 300 years.  It is thought that the Miniature Pinscher evolved from breeding small specimens of the German smoothed-haired pinscher possibly crossed to the Italian Greyhound and the smooth Dachshund.  It is not, as some believe, the miniature version of the Doberman Pinscher although its clean lines, colouring, and general activity are remarkably similar.  The Miniature Pinscher was a recognized breed in Germany many years before the Doberman Pinscher was developed.  In Germany the breed is often called the REH PINSCHER because of its resemblance to the Roe deer, a small deer that is said to abound in the forests of the Rhineland.

The breed standard was first recorded in the German Stud Book in 1880 and was officially recognized by the Pinscher-Schnauzer club of Germany in 1895.  Undoubtedly the little dog was very popular in its country of origin:  when it was first shown at the Stuttgart show in 1900, there were ninety-three Miniature Pinschers in competition.

The Miniature Pinscher was first brought to the United States in 1920, and that country in credited with much of the breed's development.  Since the organization of the Miniature Pinscher Club of American in 1929,  the breed has become extremely popular in this continent both in the United States and Canada. In Canada the first Miniature Pinschers were registered in The Canadian Kennel Club Stud Book for the years 1937 - 1938.

Its progress has been somewhat slower in the United Kingdom, probably due to the ban on ear cropping.  It has taken breeders some years to breed dogs whose ear size and placement were in pleasing balance with the rest of the head.  One of the Miniature Pinscher's most attractive characteristics is its high-stepping "hackney-like" gait, which would seem to verify the fact that somewhere in its ancestry the Italian Greyhound can be found.

In Canada the first Miniature Pinschers were registered in The Canadian Kennel Club Stud Book for the years 1937 - 1938.
