I couldn’t be happier with my experience getting my Miniature Pinscher, Lucky, from Janet of Desert Rose Kennel. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she is a responsible, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable breeder who truly loves and cares for her dogs.
Lucky comes from an outstanding lineage, and the breeder provided official certification as proof of his pedigree, which gave me even more confidence in the health, quality, and temperament of the pup I was bringing home. She also made sure that all of his vaccinations were taken care of early on, which gave me such peace of mind. Of course, there are a few more to be taken care of, but I’m glad my pup is on track.
What stood out was how she went the extra mile. She didn’t just hand over my puppy at the halfway point, she shared care instructions, ongoing support, and even a thoughtful gift bag with toys, food, and helpful items like a blanket to get Lucky settled in. That personal touch made the whole experience even more special.
If you're looking for a Miniature Pinscher breeder who is ethical, trustworthy, and truly invested in the well-being of her pups, I wholeheartedly recommend Janet, Desert Rose Kennel.
Thank you again for bringing Lucky #7 into my life. He’s a bundle of energy, joy, and love!

Janet is a wonderful and knowledgeable breeder. She answered all of our questions about the German shorthair pointer puppy we purchased from her. We named our puppy Kingston and he’s been a joyfull new addition to our family. I highly recommend Janet because she’s very passionate about dogs and dedicated to producing healthy puppies.
We love our Kingston.❤️

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Janet and the incredible experience I had getting my puppy from her. From start to finish, Janet proved to be a knowledgeable, caring, and responsible breeder who truly prioritizes the health and well-being of her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
