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.

"The Right To Breed"
A new op-ed on the changing veterinarian-breeder relationship, for the National Post

In The Ring

After finishing in Canada as a puppy, Eng.Can.Ch.Minuteman Hook, Line And Sinker travelled to her new home with Mrs. Ann Reeves in the UK. "Hooker" began her show career in August at the Welsh Kennel Club, where she won her class, going Reserve CC in an entry of 46 bitches, followed by her first CC at the Darlington Championship Show in September. Hooker scored her second consecutive CC, taking Best of Breed with 69 dogs competing, at the Driffield Championship Show. and finished her title on Dec.5, 2009 with another CC and Best of Breed win at the British Utility Breeds Ass'n !

We believe Hooker is the first Canadian-bred Miniature Schnauzer to finish in the UK
