Six new arrivals!!
Micky and her 6 new pups!!
Micky, as seen above is very tired!! Last Thursday she gave birth to 6 little pups and that is no easy feat as Micky is a little Yorkie!!! My coworker and friend Kim have kept us informed about Micky’s pregnancy. She is the dog of Kim’s boyfriend and his daughters were so excited about the arrival of these puppies.
These puppies are definitely going to grow into some interesting looking dogs. Their Mom is the Yorkie you see here, but their Dad is a Minature Pinscher!!! Three girls and three little boys!!! It will be fun to watch these pups grow up!!
When I heard about the Dad, I was curious about this breed. Of course we are all familiar with the Doberman Pinscher. Like many dogs, they have gotten a bad reputation for being vicious and mean. And like most who get that repuation, they are really much the opposite. Believe it or not, the MinPin (as it is known) was introduced as a breed before the Doberman. This dog was originally bred in Germany and is a cross between a smooth coat Dachshund and a minature Italian Greyhound. These dogs were bred to be outside hunting dogs of rats and small vermin, but they have warmed themselves into the hearts and homes of their happy owners.
The temperament of the MinPin is said to be curious, very intelligent, but also very strong willed. It is said that owners need to establish themselves as the Alpha dog very early in the dog’s training. Even thought they are small, they are known for their compact, yet strong bodies and have a smooth shiny coat that requires little care.
It sounds like the pups above are going to be an interesting combination. I am anxious to hear and see how this interesting genetic combination presents itself in these little pups…I’ll keep you informed!!
