Meet the breeder
I'm Cathy B., the breeder behind Shadowmist Miniature Pinschers located in Brandenburg, KY. I have been breeding and exhibiting Miniature Pinschers for 41 years. I breed for soundness with breed “type” and for superb temperaments and of course, the “hackney like gait” the breed is known for. I do not breed the dilute colors, blue, fawn, tan, harlequin, or brindle. There are good reasons that they are not allowed in our AKC breed standard.
Q. & A. with Cathy
Why did you start breeding?
I saw them at a dog show and lucked out with a local show breeder that took me under their wing. My mentor gave me a great start with learning the finer points in correct conformation & how to show my dogs!What makes your program special?
I health test all of my dogs. I raise them right and socialize them to make sure they are happy! Puppies receive all required wormings & vaccines. At 8 wks. they visit the vet for health. Even patella’s are checked. I have a large pen with a jungle gym & each one is loved on :-)What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include stag red and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
