I only breed the accepted colours in the Canadian Kennel club breed standard, as set forth by the Canadian Miniature Pinscher Club.  I DO NOT breed dilute Miniature Pinschers. Still Under Construction!      There are several colours that the Miniature pinscher naturally comes in but not all are accepted colours in the Canadian Kennel club breed Standard.  1.  Red (various shades from light to very dark) 2.  Stag Red (red with black hairs - "sable" in other breeds) 3.  Black/Rust 4.  Chocolate/Rust 5.  Blue/Tan (not accepted) 6.  Isabella (some call this Fawn/Tan)-(not accepted)   Only Red, Stag Red, Black/rust and Chocolate/Rust are listed as permitted colours in the Canadian Kennel Club Miniature pinscher breed Standard.  The Reds must have Black Nose/pigment.   Some reds have liver coloured noses/pigment, blue noses/pigment, isabella noses/pigment. This is a disqualification in the show ring.  It is also very unfortunate that the standard calls for Dark eyes even on chocolates.  The liver gene is a lightening gene so is impossible to get dark eye with this colour.  The standard is flawed and makes showing this colour difficult.    |Clear red Male (Marshall)              Black/Rust (Onyx)                                                Chocolate/Rust (Raija) The 3 pictures above are the colours that are accepted in the CKC show ring today. I DO NOT have a picture of a TRUE Stag Red Minpin.   Below are the the colours that are not currently accpted in CKC show ring.   Isabella (Fawn/Tan)                                                         Blue and Tan                       Both these dogs Developed Colour Dilution Alopecia.  The Isabella at 9 months of age and the blue/Tan at 2yrs of age.
