Hello and welcome!
 
My name is Desera Niivila and I run Dazzleme Kennel with the help of my husband, Paul and our 5 children.  We are proudly active in conformation and breed only for the betterment of these 2 breeds we love, the Miniature Pinscher and the Great Dane.  We believe in breeding only to improve, enhance and carry on desired traits of the Miniature Pinscher and The Great Dane. We strive for perfection in health... Temperament... Brains... and Beauty all wrapped up in one package whether for competition or just as your family pet and fellow couch potato. 

We abide strictly to the Canadian Kennel Club's Code of Ethics. Loving the Miniature Pinscher breed since 2000, we later ventured into the show ring and took group 4th at our very first show with a beautiful 6 month old puppy! Boy, were we Hooked! 


I mostly owner-handle my dogs with the help from my oldest daughter and the occasional help from a fellow minpin enthusiast Debbie and our friends over at Kammick Newfoundlands.   In a very short time we have been very successful with Multi-group placings and Multi-best puppy in group wins!

About our breeding program...

MINPINS - We are proud to say that we are raising and showing all the accepted colours the miniature pinscher comes in; Red, Stag Red, Black/Rust and Chocolate/rust.  Unfortunately we are one of the only show kennels in Canada to raise and show the Chocolate Miniature Pinscher.  As a responsible breeder that not only cares about this breed, but cares about EVERY acceptable colour this breed comes in, I have made it my goal to join the few that are working on improving the conformation of chocolates and I refuse to let them be left at ringside.

To those looking for show prospects;  Some of my Miniature Pinschers carry the liver gene (chocolate/Rust). If you are looking for a show dog that does not carry this coat colour gene, I will be happy to recommend you to another breeder.  I do DNA my minpins for coat colour inheritance and know which ones carry for chocolate and which ones do not.  I disclose this information on each dogs individual page.  For more information regarding chocolate minpins, Visit our page: 'Why Chocolate?'
 

GREAT DANES - Our goal is to raise and show the best quality BLUE and BLACK Great Danes we possibly can.  Please note that we will not have any Great Dane puppies for quite some time but we would be happy to refer you to someone!

ABOUT OUR BREEDING
We only breed a litter when we are looking to add to our family, breeding program and for the show ring.  Sometimes we have a few litters planned for the year and sometimes only one.  It just depends on what we are looking for.  I charge only a fraction for puppies what I actually spend on caring, training, showing and health testing our dogs in order to have a successful HEALTHY litter.  

So take a look around and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have regarding these wonderful breeds or the sport of canine competition!
Take care,
Desera at Dazzleme!



About Desera Niivila...

Desera graduated from Confederation College form the Developmental Service Worker Program and she is lucky enough to work in her chosen field as a support worker. Right now She works only nights doing 11pm - 7am, 5 on and 5 off. These hours allow her to be home with the dogs and the family during the day everyday.
She has also finished her second year at Lakehead University in the Honors Bachelor of Social Work program. She is not sure if she will continue her studies at LU at this point as she is quite content with her current job and raising the family. 


About Paul Niivila...

Paul successfully completed his trade apprenticeship as a Truck and Coach Mechanic and works full time in his field as a licensed Mechanic holding the position of Foreman.  Paul also works part time for the "Family Business" as a mechanic for Niivila Timber, owned by his father. Though Paul is not "hands on" when it comes to the dog shows, he is the official "cheering section" and the "home support" while Desera is away at the shows.

About the kids...

Together they have 5 children, one boy age 15yrs and 4 girls ages 13, 11, 7 and 5.  All the kids show interest in junior handling.  The oldest girl helps handle the dogs in the 'big' ring and has successfully pointed some of the Miniature Pinschers.  She can now also boast that she finished the latest champion, CH Weeskelf Tatianna in Feb 2009!  It truly is a family affair!
