HPA's Purpose

The Harlequin Pinscher Association, herein known as the "HPA",  was founded in 2007 for the sole purpose of establishing a Registry in which to register, document and database pedigrees of 7+ documented generations of  patterned Miniature Pinschers, known as Harlequin Pinschers,  and the purebred Miniature Pinschers used in an HPA breeding program.

While the dogs used to reach the 7th Generation of documented development of the Harlequin Pinscher were originally databased in the American Pedigree Registry files they are also in the HPA database now.

HPA is the only approved registry for Harlequin Pinschers by the Founding Breeder.

HPA has the only database back to the original Run-N-Ridge founding dogs of the re-developed Harlequin Pinscher.
Only HPA can give you the True Accurate Certified Pedigrees back to the founding Harlequin Pinschers with the true Run-N-Ridge bloodlines.

HPA is dedicated to maintaining a true and accurate database of the Harlequin Pinscher as well as preserving the health of the breed through recommended genetic testing.

HPA does not charge Membership Fees.  Ethical Breeders are granted Registration Privileges.
