Miniature Pinscher Breeders, NZ

PINQUEST

Pinquest is a small kennel located in the central North Island of NZ. Proud Massey University qualified Vet Nurse breeder of multiple champions and age class in group and in show winners from very limited litters, always looking to improve while keeping true to the breed standard with sound temperaments and good health test results. The first and thus far only miniature pinscher breeder to OFFA Patella Score and Congenital Cardiac Evaluate in NZ. All dogs and puppies raised and kept in my home together as part of the family-no 'kennel dogs' here! There are not many legitimate breeders of Miniature Pinschers in NZ (there are many puppy mills), please do your homework, your min pin will be a member of your family for up to 15 years. I have chosen not to dock since 2012 and now cannot. Home to Ivy, NZ's first Min Pin to achieve Canine Good Citizen. Ivy is also NZ's first Min Pin to achieve her Platinum Certificate of Merit! Lilybug (CH Melka Caught In The Crossfire) becomes NZ's second CGC Min Pin! Kit (NZ CH Pinquest The North Remembers) becomes the third and third generation to achieve GCG Foundation and Bronze and now the first and only Min Pin in NZ to achieve Gold! 2019 Target (CH Pinquest Valar Morghulis) becomes the first Min Pin dog to achieve his Platinum Certificate of Merit! Another NZ First! 2020 sees CH & NEUT CH Pinquest Just Give Me A Reason become the first Dual Titled and Neuter CH Min Pin! Pinquest-Type, Temperament, Talent.

TAURIEL

Our dogs are far more than a business to us - they’re family. We breed responsibly and pay special attention to minimizing any known hereditary diseases by having our parent animals' health and DNA tested by a certified vet. Full comprehensive DNA, Patella scores & Cardiac certificates. I have imported my dogs from Australia and America to help diversify and extend the genetic breed pool. I am passionate about preserving the breed. We do a range of activities with our dogs - Breed and conformation showing, trick titles, obedience, agility, canine good citizen basics. They are raised in the family home with our children and extended family, and happily join in on all of our adventures. Beach days, tramping and river walks are some of our favourite activities. Our dogs will be often found on the surfboard or kayak with the kids enjoying all our summer adventures, OR cuddled up under a blanket watching movies. We screen all potential homes and have restrictions in place to ensure our puppies head off to the right families.
