My adventure with Miniature Pinschers started precisely in September 2006 when I went to the International Dog Show in Wrocław for the very first time. My attention was mainly attracted by the “mini-version” of Dobermann Pinscher. Since then, I got more and more interested in this particular dog breed. I started to read a lot, go to dog shows and contact with the dog breeders. I am particularly grateful and appreciate especially the Ela and Jurek Graboń Pin-Min Kennel for all their tips, words of advice, kindliness and help in taking my first steps in the pinschers’ world.

There are three pinschers living with us at the moment (so far:)) two females and a male.

ASTRA is my first female and also the very first miniature pinscher. She was a planned dog awaited for a long time. She has been with us since the 9th February 2007. We went all the way to the other end of Poland to take her from Pin-Min Kennel in Jarosław. It seemed to be very far away but now I know that it was worth it. I had in my mind neither the dog shows nor the breeding at that stage; I just wanted a dog that I could love and spoil. And this is the way that Astra is - she is very lovely and very spoilt. She is a typical individualist and she decides when she wants to play and cuddle. She is full of energy, cheerful and - most of all - she has got a decisive and determined character.

BIANKA is Astra’s step-sister. She came to our home a little bit by accident. We brought her from the Pin-Min Kennel on the 2nd June 2007. She is the typical opposite of Astra. Bianka is a queen who loves to be in the centre of attention and interest. She extorts everything from us with her sweet cute eyes and I simply have no heart to say no or refuse her (and because of that I spoilt her A LITTLE BIT). She is very affectionate and delicate.

VOLTI is my first male pinscher. We went all the way to Hungary to get him. He has got a wonderful character. He is cheerful, energetic and ubiquitous- he simply has to have everything under control. He has got totally different character than Astra and Bianka, and he is even the opposite of them both. He can bravely stand the “girls’” moods and - when there is a need - he can show “who’s the man here.”

The next step was the official registration of the kennel. The breeding Silesian Canis Minor was registered in The Polish Kennel Club and FCI in October 2007.

Our pinschers spend with us most of their time. We pay a lot of attention to their upbringing and socialization.
