WELCOME TO EQUINOX  PERM ®

We are presently located in British Columbia, Canada and are members in good standing of the CKC, DPCC & DPCA kennel clubs.

PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF & OTHERS:
We do not condone the breeding of white Dobermans, properly called Albinos. We do not condone the breeding of the "white"/albino as it is a genetic mutation with some serious physical consequences. Learn more HERE.

We also do not condone the breeding of any color of Miniature Pinscher other than the four allowable colors:

1. Solid clear red

2. Stag red (red with intermingling of black hairs)

3. Black with sharply defined rust

4. Chocolate with rust-red markings)

Any other "colour" is totally unacceptable to reputable breeders and is not allowable within the CKC or AKC Breed Standard.

When you buy a pet or even shop at a store that sells puppies, you contribute to a heartless underground industry that forces dogs to spend their entire lives in cages constantly breeding to support consumer demand for puppies.

We breed healthy, happy companions in a home environment. All our dogs are raised as members of our family. There are no bad dogs, only irresponsible owners. The breeder can lay the foundation but the person who rears the dog must complete what the breeder began in order to bring the dog to its highest potential.

We strive for health, temperament and longevity while aiming for quality. The purchase of one of our puppies is not the end of a transaction; it is the beginning of a relationship. Whether it be obedience, conformation or agility - we are for the total Doberman and the total Miniature Pinscher.

The Miniature Pinscher is NOT a bred down version of the Doberman Pinscher. Actually the Miniature Pinscher is an older breed than the Doberman and no relation to it whatsoever.

All our puppies are held by a non-refundable deposit only. This ensures dedicated, committed ownership by future forever homes. As any responsible breeder should do, we only want the best homes for all of our puppies. Please visit our Nursery in order to view our breeding plans.

New Vaccine Protocol Accepted by all 27 Vet Schools in the USA by Jean Dodd.

I would like to make you aware that all 27 Veterinary Schools in North America are in the process of changing their protocols for vaccinating dogs and cats. Some of this information will present an ethical & economic challenge to Vets, and there will be skeptics. Some organizations have come up with a political compromise suggesting vaccinations every 3 years to appease those who fear loss of income vs. those concerned about potential side effects. Politics, traditions, or the doctors economic well-being should not be factor in a medical decision.

Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified live virus vaccine is given after 6 months of age it produces immunity, which is good for the life of the pet (i.e.: canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper). If another MLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect. The titer is not "boosted" nor are more memory cells induced. Not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated haemolytic anemia. There is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual administration of MLV vaccines.

Puppies receive antibodies through their mothers milk. This natural protection can last 8-14 weeks. Puppies & kittens should NOT be vaccinated at LESS than 8 weeks. Maternal immunity will neutralize the vaccine and little protection (0-38%) will be produced. Vaccination at 6 weeks will however, DELAY the timing of the first highly effective vaccine. Vaccinations given 2 weeks apart SUPPRESS rather than stimulate the immune system.

A series of vaccinations is given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age. Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4 months) will provide LIFETIME IMMUNITY.
