Minpin Pics Wanted

Pains in the rear, yes!  

So is Echo and she's 5 times Gobie's size LOL.  Echo NO! Echo OFF! Echo LET GO OF DARBY'S TAIL! ANd so forth.

I am a glutton for punishment, eh? 3 dogs is good for now!

So true! THey want to do everything a big dog can do!  He was a fun guy!

go in my profile and you can see Proof my pinscher. I dont have a photo bucket :(

What a handsome pin :)   What is the black small one? A mix or a patterdale?

yep hunting terrier, hes 18 lbs and Proof is 15 lbs. they are both used for pest removals, very athletic they swim, run along side my bike for miles and pull weight when harnessed up :) Thanks!

Proof- I showed DH the pics of your hunting terrier and he says that is exactly the type of dog he likes.  Gobie was oversized, heavy boned and very sturdy, and so when he sees the other typical teeny minpins, he's turned off by them.

Maybe in the future... I really like the rough coats. :)  Are they as sassy/naughty as minpins? 

They are terrible pets, High drive, dog aggression and the strength to do damage. Many breeders who have them as show or breeding them bc they are "rare" will tell you they are fine pets and will be great as a family dog.

The breeder I got Shiner,Grim and Fury from gave a family member a dog that wasnt up tp par in the hunting category. Warned them to excercise train and do not leave alone with thier young child. Well they  left the dog and kid together and kid got bitten pretty bad bc they riled up the dog with a tug. Dog went back to the breeder tho and he kept her.

If your looking for a hunting dog then this is the dog for you, if your looking for a pet then you can find heavier boned minpins if you look around. Proof was from a farmer who had two larger sized minppins in his barn to rid rats and rabbits. My grandma helped moved 1000 bales and he let her pick a pup, now proof has drive and I do use him on quarry but he isnt like the terriers and would be just as fine as a pet. Patterdales are bred to find, catch, kill or hold quarry until you get there, not something you want in an average pet home.

If you like terriers tho, there are show Jacks or fox terriers that have had the drive bred out of them and would be good for pethomes but will most likely still be energetic.

Opps I made them sound like a bad dog but they are not. Just a dog bred for a job and are one of the few terriers left that hold true to all those traits, I like to be completely honest and wouldnt want a patterdale to findthemselves in a home that couldnt handle them.

I know of one that only does ratting and the rest of the time is doing flyball and the owner said the only had one incident of the dog killing a niergborhood cat in the backyard. Other wise hes great at flyball and does alright with his other dogs. If your a active home that has a job for the dog then they should be okay if you dont hunt.

Cute as they are ,they don't sound like the right fit for our family (at the moment). We have plans in the future of having a hobby farm and then one would be really useful for keeping vermin out. 

THanks for sharing a bit about them :)

A farm would be awesome for one of these guys!! Id love to own a farm sometime in my life, my grandma owns one but Id still like my own.

Your very welcome and thnaks for asking about them, they are great dogs
