MINAPEKE is a distinguished breeding kennel located in Horsham, VIC, specializing in the Miniature Pinscher breed. Owned and operated by Gloria Cincotta, MINAPEKE is dedicated to producing high-quality dogs that come from top Australian bloodlines, particularly the renowned Khanrae bloodlines. With years of experience in the dog world, Gloria focuses on breeding for show quality, ensuring that each dog meets the highest standards of excellence. The kennel is small and selective, breeding infrequently to maintain the integrity and health of the breed.
At MINAPEKE, the commitment to excellence is evident in the accolades received by their dogs, including multiple awards at prestigious events such as the Royal Adelaide Show. Notable champions like CH Minapeke Ima Single Girl and Aust CH Minapeke Third Time Lucky have showcased their exceptional qualities, winning Bitch Challenge and Reserve Dog Challenge titles, respectively.
