Thank you for visiting our new website. It definitely has a new look compared to the old site which I had for about 14 years. Unfortunately the webmaster of that site continued having problems that resulted in my website going down too many times and I had to start over, so please bare with me while I rebuild this site.
In the last few years I have become involved in showing. If you're looking for a nicely bred, healthy puppy for a personal pet, well, that's still what I do best. Don't let all the show pictures intimidate you. My joy in raising puppies has not changed. Showing has just confirmed that I'm breeding the quality you deserve. And it's a fun hobby too! My puppies are priced for pet homes. So check out the Available Pups page if you're looking for the greatest breed there is to add to your family.
What does "NIZHONI" mean?
One cannot live in Arizona without the influence and beauty of the Native American culture & language. "Nizhoni" is a Navajo word meaning beautiful.
Many years ago I created a line of hand carved ceramic pottery that was sold thruout the US. The name of the pottery line was Nizhoni Originals. When my husband passed away I felt a need to move on so after over 10 years I closed my studio and turned my attentions to my Min Pin kids. The word "Nizhoni" just followed. "Beautiful"......This is how I see every Miniature Pinscher! Nizhoni became my kennel name..... so again, welcome to
NIZHONI MINIATURE PINSCHERS OF ARIZONA
LOCATION
We are located in the mountains of Arizona, close to Prescott. It's considered high desert. For reference, we are about 1 hr, 20 min from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
Humboldt is a very old mining town with alot of history. I've lived here for over 20 years. Weather is ideal for my Min Pin kids. They enjoy the outdoors most days. Cooler than Phoenix and warmer than Flagstaff on any given day. Anyone is welcome to come visit what some of my puppy buyers have referred to as "Min Pin Heaven". After 20 years with these little guys I have Min Pins of all ages from puppies (sometimes) to seniors. Presently my eldest senior is 17. Yes, Min Pins are long lived.
Just let me know, we'll set a good time for everyone and I will send directions.
A DOG'S PRAYER
A DOG'S PRAYER
Treat me kindly, my beloved master for no heart in the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god, and I am your devoted worshipper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.
And, beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.
