A brief presentation of the Minnie Parson

The hybrid is considered to be new to the scene and may have originated in the mid-2000s in the U.S.A.. The Minnie Parson can measure around 38 centimeters in height and weigh up to 7 kilos. These breeds have a muscular, square-shaped body designed for power and agility. The Minnie Parson is a loving, hard-working breed that does best in active households. They are often not considered the best apartment dogs due to their high energy requirements and tendency to bark frequently.

History of the Minnie Parson
The Minnie Parson is currently recognized by the Dog Registry of America, so it's safe to assume that this hybrid is indigenous to the U.S.A.. The hybrid is a cross between the Parson Russell Terrier and the Miniature Pinscher.

 

        

A little of the Miniature Pinscher

         
The parent breed, the Miniature Pinscher, is thought to have originated in Germany, most likely between 1600 and 1800. Although these thoroughbreds resemble the big, fearless Dobermann Pinscher, they actually share no known common ancestry with them. Instead, it is thought that the Miniature Pinscher may have been created by crossing the Italian Greyhound, Dachshund and Shorthaired Terrier. The Miniature Pinscher was used to hunt small vermin. The American Kennel Club listed the Miniature Pinscher in 1925.

A little of the Parson Russell Terrier
The Parson Russell Terrier actually comes from the Jack Russell Terrier, but the Parson Terrier was designed to be larger and more energetic than the Jack Russell Terrier. The Parson Terrier was originally called the Jack Russell Terrier, a breed that originated in England in the 1800s and was developed in Australia. The breed's creator, John Russell, aimed to create a Terrier that retained excellent fox-hunting skills. Formerly known as the Jack Russell Terrier by the American Kennel Club, the AKC has now registered the breed as the Parson Russell Terrier. The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America keeps the breeds separate.

Appearance of the Minnie Parson
The Minnie Parson will bear a striking resemblance to another hybrid known as the Minnie Jack. However, the Minnie Parson will be a larger breed with a square-shaped body. These hybrids can measure up to 38 centimeters in height and can tip the scales at over 7 kilos. The Minnie Parson will have a medium-length muzzle, a slightly square head and bright, alert eyes. Their ears are set high and semi-erect, or can rarely remain fully erect like the Miniature Pinscher. Minnie Parson's coat is short and slightly rough to the touch. Coat colors are often bicolor or tricolor, ranging from black, white and tan to black and fawn with uneven markings.

Temperament of the Minnie Parson
The Minnie Parson is a friendly little dog that will get on very well with children and other pets. They don't tend to be talkative, but can be more tolerant of older children than small ones who can move quickly and talk loudly. However, when it comes to other pets, these hybrids can be bossy and dominant. It's important to supervise your hybrid when interacting with other dogs. The Minnie Parson can inherit the personality of the Parson Russell Terrier and, as such, can have a large prey drive. Because of this instinctive behavior, these hybrids may not be recommended for households with cats or other smaller animals. When meeting strangers, the Minnie Parson will remain alert and cautious. They are not necessarily considered aggressive, but are excellent watchdogs.

Needs and activities of the Minnie Parson
The Minnie Parson is a high-energy dog that will require a minimum of 70 minutes of physical activity a day. These dogs can be quite vocal and playful, and may have a strong tendency to dig when bored or destroy furniture when lacking mental stimulation. Due to their high energy requirements, the Minnie Parson is not recommended for new owners, unless owners show a total commitment to training. The Minnie Parson will thrive on agility courses, love to run, adore playing with owners and other pets, and enjoy games that feed their urge to hunt. The Minnie Parson can be a vocal dog, so may not be suitable for apartment living.

Maintenance of the Minnie Parson
Low shedding, low drooling and with a short coat, the Minnie Parson is considered a low-maintenance dog requiring only a brushing of the coat once every few weeks, to distribute the natural oils and remove any loose fur. In terms of bathing, Minnie Parsons should only be washed when absolutely dirty. As with all dogs, it's important to maintain your hybrid's dental hygiene by brushing several times a week. This is essential to their health and can prevent dental disease, gum disease and tooth decay. In addition, it's important to always check your hybrid's ears for signs of wax or dirt build-up, especially if your dog tends to get dirty very quickly. Dirty ears should be cleaned with a pet-friendly ear cleaner to avoid the possibility of yeast infections and inflammation.
