Equinox Dobermans & Miniature Pinschers

To hold a living creature, to see its loveliness and to breathe in that sweet puppy breath, to feel its heart beat in your hands, to know its trust in you, is to understand the special bond between a puppy and its breeder.

The Miniature Pinscher: King of Toys

You are visitor #:

Death Is Nothing At All.

I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you used to.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no false air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the
little jokes we enjoyed together. Let my name be ever the household name
it ever was, let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was: there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.

"All is well."
Henry Scott Holland
1847-1918

WELCOME TO EQUINOX PERM Ž

We have a couple of exciting MINIATURE PINSCHER breeding planned for 2012. Please click HERE in order to visit the Nursery.

We are presently located in British Columbia, Canada and are members in good standing of the CKC, DPCC & DPCA kennel clubs. We follow the Doberman Pinscher Club of America's Code of Ethics. For more information visit the DPCA at www.dpca.org

PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF & OTHERS:
We do not endorse the breeding of any color of Minpin other than the four allowable colors (Solid clear red, Stag red (red with intermingling of black hairs), Black with sharply defined rust, Chocolate with rust-red markings)! Any other "colour" is totally unacceptable to reputable breeders and is not allowable within the CKC or AKC Breed Standard.

When you buy a pet or even shop at a store that sells puppies, you contribute to a heartless underground industry that forces dogs to spend their entire lives in cages constantly breeding to support consumer demand for puppies.

At Equinox Kennels we strive for health, temperament and longevity while aiming for quality. The purchase of one of our puppies is not the end of a transaction; it is the beginning of a relationship. Whether it be obedience, conformation or agility - we are for the total Miniature Pinscher. The Miniature Pinscher is NOT a bred down version of the Doberman Pinscher. Actually the Miniature Pinscher is an older breed than the Doberman and no relation to it whatsoever.

We breed healthy, happy companions in a home environment. All our dogs are raised as members of our family. There are no bad dogs, only irresponsible owners. The breeder can lay the foundation but the person who rears the dog must complete what the breeder began in order to bring the dog to its highest potential.

All our puppies are held by a non-refundable deposit only. This ensures dedicated, committed ownership by future forever homes. As any responsible breeder should do, we only want the best homes for all of our puppies. Please visit our Nursery in order to view our breeding plans.

A TALE FOR A BREEDER

I love my little puppy, he makes my house a home, he always is my best friend, I never feel alone. He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he fills my heart with love. Did some breeder breed him? Was he sent from heaven above?

I've never been a breeder, or seen life through their eyes. I hold my little puppy, just sit and criticize. I've never know their anguish, I've never felt their pain, the caring of their charges, through snow or wind or rain. I've never waited all night long for puppies to be born, the stress and trepidation when they're still not there by dawn...

I've never felt the heartache of a little life in my hands, a darling little puppy who weighs just a few grams!! Should you do this instead of that? Or just pray to God? Alone you fight, and hope one day he'll grow into a dog, bring joy to another being and make a house a home. You know it's all just up to you, you fight this fight alone.

Formula, bottles, heating pads, you've got to get this right. Two hourly feeds for this little mite throughout the day and night. In your heart you know it, you'll surely lose the fight to save this little baby, but God willing, you just might save the little mite....

Day one he's in there fighting. You say a silent prayer. Day two and three he's doing well, with lots of loving care. Day four and five - he's still alive your hopes soar to the heavens! Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.

You take this little angel and bury him alone, with aching heart and burning tears, (and an exhausted groan). You ask yourself, Why do this? Why suffer all the pain? But seeing the joy that puppies bring - it really self explains! So, when you think of breeders and label them with "greed". Think what they sometimes endure to fill another's need.

And when you buy a puppy, with dollars and cents you part. You only pay with money ...

We pay with our hearts.

Where to Bury A Dog

If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you when you call. Come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death, and down the well remembered path to your side again. And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel, they shall not growl at him, nor resent his coming, for he belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at them for you shall know something that is hidden from them and which is well worth the knowing. The one best place then to bury a dog, is in the HEART of his master. ~author unknown~
