How long do you have til its to late to clip my min pins tale?

I own and used to breed min pins so know the answer to this very well. Tails and dewclaws should be done no later than 3 days old. If it hasn't been done and your dog is older, check with your vet. It may be too late. You also need to ask yourself why you want the tail docked and if it is that important to you, why did you get a dog that's tail is not docked? Ideally it should be done at 3 mos. However I have personally had a Min Pins ears cropped as late as 1.5 years of age and they stood fine. I owned a Min Pin in the 1960s and his tail at 6 weeks was already cropped. I didn't have his ears done simply because I don't believe in this cruel fashion and no one can say it isn't cruel. It's all in the name of the breeder and showing off the dog. How would you like your tail bone cropped and your ears cropped, stitched and dipped in brandy?


How playful can min pins get?

Being miniature Dobermans, which are very active and athletic dogs, they can be extremely playful.


How do i get my min pin to stop trying to escape?

Min Pins are very curious dogs, which comes from their breeding as ratters - they love to hunt and explore. The answer is you can NEVER trust a min pin and need to ensure they are always in a secure area.


How long is a Min Pin heat cycle?

Min Pins go into heat twice a year. The heat will last between 2 and 4 weeks, 3 weeks being the average. Min Pins bleed very little, but covering the sofa and the beds with sheets is recommended, sofas can be hard to fit into the washing machine! Min Pins will mate with large dogs, and this can be a problem, as the puppies can develop to be too large for her to birth. It is better to keep the female indoors, and protected from wandering, horny males. Her scent can be picked up 2 miles away! Lizzard


Why does your min pin shake all over?

Min Pins sometimes shake when they are excited. But they also shake when they are cold or hyper.If they do it constantly and get walks and are warm then you should probably see the vet.
