Harlequin Pinschers & Miniature Pinschers
"Know the Difference"
The Harlequin Pinscher and Miniature Pinscher are kissing cousins.
They are distinct separate recognized breeds of their own.
A pup out of a Harlequin Pinscher bloodline should NOT be represented as a Min-Pin.
The Miniature Pinscher has been a recognized 'Ratting Terrier Type" breed since 1895.
The Harlequin Pinscher was recognized as a breed unto itself in 2006 and was developed
from the 1 time cross of a purebred Merle or Brindle Rat Terrier to purebred
Miniature Pinschers. The Merle & Brindle offspring were then bred back to other purebred
Miniature Pinschers for a minimium of 7 generations to achieve the purebred Harlequin Pinscher.
The Piebald gene gratefully carried over in the gene pool through the Generations
and eventually made itself known in a few of the Harlie Bloodlines.
The Harlequin Pinschers of today can test out 100% Min Pin due to the high influence the
Min Pin plays in their development.
The difference comes in the "PATTERNS" the Harlequin Pinscher can come in
where as a Purebred Miniature Pinscher NEVER has a "PATTERN"
nor does it have a Harlie Bloodline. If it has a Harlequin Pinscher
Bloodline in any way then it is a Harlequin Pinscher.
Don't be fooled by those misrepresenting what they have.
If you love the Min Pin then you'll be head over heels in love with the Harlies.
Min Pins can be:
Red, Black/Tan, Brown/Tan (*Chocolate), Blue/Tan, Fawn/Tan, Blue-Fawn & Tan
(*some Registries continue to add other Colors as Genetics Evolves).
Harlequin Pinschers can be:
All the colors as shown above for Min Pins with the added beauty of
being able to produce "PATTERN" genetics
of Merle, Brindle, Piebald and combinations of the 3.
A Harlequin Pinscher can look, act & test out as a Min Pin in every way.
A Min Pin however can not have the "Patterns" of a Harlequin Pinscher.

Our Puppies are Unsurpassed in Quality & Health.
I take the breeding of dogs seriously and not
just as a Hobby to produce pups for profit and it shows in both the Quality of the
dogs I've chosen to use for breeding and the Quality of the puppies I produce.
Contact us if you looking to Breed "True" HPA Harlequin Pinschers.
Acquiring a pup from Run-N-Ridge means you will get the Founding Bloodline without
having to research Pedigrees and hoping you get a true purebred Harlequin Pinscher.
Run-N-Ridge IS the Founding Breeder/Kennel/Bloodline of Harlequin Pinschers.
We don't sell "Day Old" Pups as the QUALITY of a pup should be a
breeders PRIORITY and not just the color/pattern of it's coat.
We will work with you on obtaining QUALITY, Healthy, HPA registered Harlequin Pinschers
to be used in an HPA Breeding Program ONLY!
All of our HPA puppies are restricted by Contract to HPA Registration Only.

Serious Inquiries Only Please!
My pages are ORIGINAL CONTENT. If you see it here then it is my ORIGINAL writings.
If you see it being used by NON-HPA breeders then it IS being used by
unscrupulous folks without permission.
Be sure you know who you are dealing with.
Regardless of what others may tell you - ONLY HPA has the database to link all dogs back to the
Founding Dogs and ONLY HPA and myself have the full HPA pedigree database.
Since Parent Verification can cause Pedigrees to be corrected and
reissued ONLY HPA has the most accurate Harlie database.
Be leary of those trying to use the Run-N-Ridge name and HPA Pedigrees to sell their own puppies.
ALL Run-N-Ridge pups sold and their future offspring are sold with restricted HPA
registration so pedigrees showing Run-N-Ridge bloodlines on them from other registries
are either false or being used by unscrupulous breeders breaking a contract or
bought from an unscrupulous breeder breaking a contract.
If they are willing to break a contract
they signed then will they honor one you sign?
A Breeder should be able to succeed on their "own reputation" and not that of others.
Our puppies speak for themselves with generations of dedicated breeding.
Please read our "Need to Know" (click here) Page before contacting us.
(*It is your responsibility as a buyer to totally read and fully comprehend.)
We meet puppy buyers in a safe PUBLIC location and bring only pup(s) that are being purchased.
Puppies are sold on a 72 hour 'well puppy check-up' guarantee.

purchased/traded for just because you have money in it.

Our Harlies are generally 6-12# in weight.
We are breeding responsibly based on each dogs 185+ testing results.
Please do research on CDA prior to purchasing a Blue or Fawn pup.
We do not have any adults visibly showing CDA but do not guarantee pups against CDA.
Proudly registered with the only reputable Harlequin Pinscher Registry
recognized by the founding breeder - HPA.
Run-N-Ridge is the founding kennel & is responsible for re-developing the Harlequin Pinscher.
~~~ The Quality of our Dogs and Pups is Unsurpassed ~~~
Our Harlequin Pinschers are TRUE HPA Registered Harlequin Pinschers
bred from the founding Bloodlines being those of Run-N-Ridge
and documented back to the founding dogs .
Why HPA? The ONLY registry with the full HPA database for Harlies.
HPA strongly recommends testing for genetically clear-breeding dogs for
MPS VI, PLL, Cystinuria and DM.
HPA does not condone the registering of unknown lineage animals as some other registries allow.
If your not buying an HPA registered Harlie then your more likely buying a mixed-breed look-alike
from an unethical breeder only out for the money.

Please be advised that even though
the Run-N-Ridge Harlequin Pinschers have begun to test out
100% Min Pin they are not Min Pins but a breed unto themselves
known as "Harlequin Pinschers".
They come in all the colors of a Min-Pin plus the added
benefit of also being able to get patterned pups as well.
If your wanting an AKC Miniature Pinscher please look for the
AKC designation on the pictures.
As of April 2023 it became our policy to register ALL R-N-R
puppies from Harlequin Bloodlines as a Harlequin Pinscher
so to be true to the breed and to hopefully clear up the
misconception they are Miniature Pinschers which they are NOT.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Our Miniature Pinscher line-up consist of bloodlines from the United States,
Canada, Iran , Germany, the Phillipines and the Ukraine.
Our Miniature Pinschers are registered with the AKC &/or HPA.
A couple of our co-owners have expressed interest in showing so we encourage them to
"Take the leap and have fun and let the Rewards be many".
Why "AKC" for our Min-Pins?
AKC can offer our puppy buyers a lengthy uninterrupted documented Pedigree
just as HPA does for our Harlequin Pinschers.
We can also monitor any correction in a Pedigree through AKC just as we do
through HPA.

Our dogs and pups are raised responsibly in proper settings.
We do NOT have 20 dogs and multiple litters INSIDE our house.
We do NOT breed our dogs till they are WORN OUT as so many
other breeders do.
Our dogs enjoy the Farm Life.
They run the farm, have access to Clean & Sanitary areas that are "heated & cooled".
The baseboards in my house are not filthy, my dogs are not kept in a miniscule area when
in heat, nor are my 'in heat' females exposed to 'multiple males'
as those who try to use their own house as a kennel are.
My house also does not permeate an odor (*stink) as most 'in-home breeders' houses do.
Unfortunately most of these home breeders no longer even realize their 20 dog
household stinks or if they do they seldom allow puppy buyers to come to their
home to pick up puppies for that very reason.
My Furniture is not chewed. My Floors and Furniture are not sticky.
Our dogs enjoy the outdoors with access to our home for short periods when we are inside.
Puppies are brought in daily for hours on end to be played with & loved on.
Puppies 'poop' a LOT and it smells. Unless you would actually 'buy' 15
puppies at one time and gladly take on the job of 'pooper scooper' in your
home then you should know exactly what I'm saying.
Males mark and the smell ishorrendous and when females are 'in heat' they
accelerate their marking to be top dog.
Can you imagine 3-4-5 dogs taking turns 'marking' your furniture, walls & carpet?
Dogs shed - it's unavoidable - 20 dogs shedding, peeing/pooping,
marking (*yes females do mark too!), bleeding and tromping dirt all over my house
IS NOT something I find acceptable for my family.
Unless you are one of those who would like 20 dogs inside your home then
you know what I'm saying.
If we want to get down to the truth - most home breeders of over 5 breeding females
do so because they don't want to expend the many thousands of dollars it cost
on buildings, pens, AC/Heat unit, Maintenance and additional Utility Bills. Basically, it cuts into
the profit off the dogs they use to 'LIVE ON'.
These folks generally are not BREEDING for the "Love of the Breed" but for Money.
Take away the MONEY and they will stop breeding.
I've got LESS dogs than most in-home breeders do that I see raising so-called Harlies & Min-Pins.
We also discovered with our way of raising dogs the Natural Way our dogs
are healthier with better immune systems and live longer than the breed suggest.
I've made the choose to Respect My Family enough to give them a Sanitary Home
while fulfilling my 'hearts desire' of having "HEALTHY - HAPPY" dogs &
raising "HEALTHY - HAPPY" puppies responsibly.
"Farmer" is a brown/tan merle male.
