I think she's a Min Pin also. As you saw from my post of Prissy, (who looks exactly like Ginger) that's what we are calling her and that's what everyone who has seen her calls her - even other Min Pin owners say she's a pure blood Min Pin though probably not one from a serious breeder who tries to stick to size standards and other conformance. Probably more like the "breeder" we got the GSD puppy (Scarlett) from. She had a white (unregistered) GSD and bred her to someone's (unregistered) black/tan GSD just so she could sell puppies. She never had the mother vet checked or the puppies. Had them outside in a dirty little dog cage by the side of the road. Deplorable conditions. She even told me how the previous batches of puppies kept getting run over by cars so she locked these up. At first sight I wanted to run but I saw poor Scarlett, the only one who even looked like a GSD (I swear those other puppies had some other kind of dog for a daddy, they didn't have the right "anything" to be called GSD). I bought her at full price because by looking around I could tell the woman needed the money (I know don't get me started but I'm a softie) and since it was late on a Friday I couldn't take her to vet till Tuesday when they reopened. She almost died over the weekend she got so weak. Her gums were white. Had to make emergency vet call and get Panacure and treat her and hand feed her. By Tuesday she was better and worm free on her vet check up but the vet said she had to give the breeder a huge bottle of Panacure (breeder couldn't afford it) because she had brought one of the puppies in because the litter was dying and they were "racked full of hook worms - loaded". I told the vet that she was selling 11 puppies for $250 each (though neither parent was registered) so she could afford a vet visit and medicine. A couple of months later I saw the same "breeder" in the vets office and she said she still hadn't sold the last two puppies and she was tired of feeding them so she was taking them to the local pound. It's a kill after two days shelter that no one visits. Even the vet and the other people in the clinic said "You know what will happen to them?" She said "Yes, but it's that or my husband is going to throw them off the bridge." I told her I would take them but I never heard from her again.
Long way of saying......it's really sad what goes on out there in the pet world.
It's a real shame that anyone can breed dogs and sell them as registered or pure breeds. Even worse that people don't get their pets spayed/neutered and the offspring end up on the streets.
