Carlin Pinscher
Mango at 2 years old
Note: According to the
American Canine Hybrid Club, the Miniature
Pinscher and the Pug cross is called a Muggin. DBI has
learned other breeds, thought to contribute to Carlin Pinscher type, have been,
and are being introduced to the Carlin Pinscher gene pool in an attempt to
create a new breed. Therefore we have separated the Carlin Pinscher from the
Muggin. The name "Muggin" is what the American Canine Hybrid Club calls the Pug
/ Min Pin cross. If you would like to adopt one of these dogs and have a
preference in which type you would like; before adopting, ask the breeder which
type dog they are breeding, the Muggin or the Carlin Pinscher.

Description |
For a developing breed, Carlin Pinschers are very
similar in appearance. The Carlin Pinscher has no breathing problems due
to the fact that they have some of the Miniature Pinscher's muzzle. The
Pug has given them thicker legs and a stronger looking body. The coat is
the same as the shorter, almost non-shedding coat of the
Miniature
Pinscher. The color that it is being bred for is black and tan. |
|
Temperament |
According to Isabeau, one of the Carlin Pinscher's
original developers, "they are patient and pleasant like a
Pug,"
although they still retain some, but not all of the
Miniature
Pinscher's terrier like behaviors. This is an even-tempered breed, exhibiting stability,
playfulness, great charm, dignity, and an outgoing, loving disposition. Most
puppies, raised with respectful children who know how to show the dog leadership, grow into respectful, gentle
dogs. Obedience training and a firm pack leader is a must for all dogs, as an ill-behaved dog is more
likely to harm a child due to lack of leadership. Make sure you are this dog's firm, confident, consistent pack leader to avoid Small Dog Syndrome, human induced behavior problems. Always remember, dogs are canines, not humans. Be sure to meet their natural instincts as animals. |

Health Problems |

|
Living Conditions |
The Carlin Pinscher is good for apartment life.
It is very active indoors and will do okay without a yard. The Miniature
Pinscher should be protected from the cold. |
|
Exercise |
These dogs do not require a lot of exercise but
should be walked daily to
fulfill their primal canine instinct to walk. In addition, they
should be given regular opportunities to run and play. Make sure any yard in
which they can run loose has a fence high enough to prevent their determined
efforts to escape and explore. |
Life Expectancy |
About 15 or more years. |
Grooming |
The Carlin Pinscher's smooth, short-haired,
hard coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, and
shampoo only when necessary. Loose hair can be remove by wiping over with a
warm, damp washcloth. This breed is an average shedder. |
Origin |
Originally called the Pug-Pin, this
breed began as a cross between the
Miniature
Pinscher and the
Pug. Other breeds, thought to contribute to Carlin
Pinscher type, have been, and are being introduced to the gene pool as well.
The name Carlin comes from the Pug, as in some countries the Pug is known as
the Carlin. It was decided in 1998 to create a new breed. The idea
came from three friends of Grant Milionta's. Their names were Isabeau
Morgan, Katushka Vitrichenko, and Kawika Buenafe. During 1992 in France,
Isabeau and Katushka saw dogs looking like miniature Rottweilers. The
owner told them that they were a cross of Pugs and English Toy Terriers.
In Honolulu Kawika also saw a dog looking like a toy Rottweiler. Kawika
was told by the owner that the dog was a cross of a Miniature Pinscher and a
Pug. Some time later when Kawika and Isabeau went on vacation, they left
their champion Miniature Pinscher stud dog, that they co-owned, with an owner of
a black Pug. When they returned from their vacations, they found that
their stud dog had accidentally bred the black Pug. Three puppies were
born, all looking like miniature Rottweilers. All three were fixed and one
went to Grant Milionta. Grant's dog was named Snooz. Many people
wanted a dog like Snooz and someone even tried to steal her. After much
research and planning, Grant then decided to create a new breed based on Snooz,
along with the help of Isabeau, Katushka, and Kawika. It was decided that
the red Miniature Pinscher, used to breed Snooz, should be used and bred to
black Pugs. Female Pugs were used because they are accustomed to having
large headed pups. Using these dogs, all puppies born had a black and tan
coat, of which is dominant of solid black. Today the Carlin Pinscher is
being carefully bred for selected traits by an earlier breed club consisting of
Grant, Isabeau (who is stilling working with her Miniature Pinschers), Katushka,
and Kawika (who are also still working with Miniature Pinschers and Greyhound
adoptions). The Carlin Pinscher is not quite a purebred dog. A purebred dog is
one that has a documented history of ancestry -called a pedigree- of many, many
generations of the same type. At this time most Carlins have only one or two
generations of documentation. In the near future the Carlin Pinscher will be
applied to various clubs as a developing breed. |

| Many thanks go out to Grant Milionta and Katushka Vitrichenko for the
information on this page. I'd also like to say that the breeders would
like to thank JoAnna Rouse for her encouragement towards making this cross into
a breed.
Also thanks to Cory
Leed for providing Dog Breed Info with his research on the Carlin Pinscher. |
