Litter Registration
"SINGLE Owner/Unit" Breeding:
Litter Registration is available on a litter produced from 2 HPA Registered parents already registered with the HPA to any individual who is in good standing with the HPA..
Both Parents are required to be owned by the same Person or the owner of the Sire MUST sign the Litter Papers as the owner of the Sire and will be held responsible along with the Owner of Dam for any FAILED Sire results.
N.1 - Clear Genetic Test is highly Recommend for MPS VI, PLL, Cystinuria & DM.
Amendment N1-A:
1. DM is a genetic disorder that appears to be running rampant in the Miniature Pinscher Breed and in some Harlequin Pinscher Bloodlines therefore it is highly Recommended that HPA breeders test for the Gene and choose their breeding stock carefully to clear the gene from their own bloodlines.
