 Am.Can.Ch.Minuteman Eleventh Hour Nov.11, 1987 - March 31, 2002 |
Minuteman Minis have earned over 100 Championship titles on 5 continents
since 1983. They include Best In Show, group and Best in Specialty Show
winners on both sides of the equator and top producing sires in Canada,
the
US and Australia. (Typically, there are about 8 puppies born here in a year.)
Breeding show dogs - or good ones, that is -can be an extraordinary
challenge. The successful breeder must be geneticist, emergency
technician, midwife, personal trainer, nutritionist, artist, ethicist and
canine psychologist.
It doesn't hurt to be a little obsessive compulsive, as well.
