Our history began long before 2001. My research began when meeting Georgette Curran in early 1990. A great many ethical breeders stood their ground and saved the genetics of the blue Miniature Pinscher we have today through out our long history from its very beginning. Though I may have founded this group I am but a tiny pebble of sand of a vast world wide beach. This group is a success because of the great dedication ethics combined knowledge and breed love of all those who make it up, as well those dedicated of the past who preserved, improved, and protected the gene, while never ever forgetting to improve the breed over all.

I founded this group after one of many of a long sometimes heated discussion on blues on a breed list in 2001. There was a day no one could talk about the color on a pet or breed list without being slammed for being of poor ethics. The comment I so fondly remember to this day from that discussion which always brings a smile was, “Why don’t you just go away, form your own group to discuss blues, we’re, (show breeders of the list) are tired of hearing about them”. Actually they had come to a point of no myths or hear say to debate the facts with, so once again wished the subject, and blues closed, pushed aside. Maybe a few years more would pass before the subject was raised again. The thought frame was, “if we don’t discuss them, or bring attention to them, they will just tire and go away”. The written, or passed on breed history was often changed to hide the facts of blue genes even being in the breed, so often in past times it did work. That may work well for something’s in life however it does not for color genes in our breed from the first history.

So, I contacted Georgette Curran, long time friend, confidant, mentor, and said, hey G, what do you think? Should we, she said go for it”. We agreed the time had come. After lots of thought I came up with a few names, then with long research I made sure what we decided on was not in use. Sent my idea through G, and Thus became,

MinPins-N-Blue

World wide some of the finest people you’ll ever meet.

Special thanks to those who ask us to find our own place, it’s been a wonderful adventure, with amazing new friends we’ve bonded, and awe inspiring breed facts/research/study we have become educated on. It has been a bit winding with tests from time to time as in growth of all things which matter, but has always been a road most worthy of our travel.
