This is Mouse, a 4 year old Powder Puff who lives in South Florida.  She has been a healthy, vibrant, highly intelligent, inquisitive, hilarious, and loveable companion.
She has taken basic obedience, CGC training (and titling), an AKC tricks class, and is currently a volunteer with the Vitas Hospice Paw Pals team that visits hospice
patient in their homes and in-patient facilities.  She is the most delightful little dog I’ve owned.  She has a mind of her own and is quite vocal when she wants something.
(usually  a sock or  sneaker and coffee).

🌟River is beyond perfect 🌟

For anyone interested in a high-quality Miniature Pinscher, this is the one! We adopted 2 mins pins over the last several years and I decided to research breeders and found Shaw Min Pins. I reached out to Peg and found my perfect little girl, River. We drove from WI to NE to pick her up and she was an angel from first sight. This was the first time in 20 years that I brought a puppy home, and Peg was there for me night and day to answer my questions for this little sweetheart. River grew up with my other two min pins, the temperament and quality was unmatched. Don’t get me wrong, I love River’s older brother and sister, but I couldn’t believe how River’s temperament was a night and day difference, calm and sane! She loves her puppy sling still to this day and as soon as I get it out, she is hopping to get in, she is like a little kangaroo, lol. She loves going shopping, having lunch at outdoor patio restaurants, going on camping trips and to visit family from out of town.

Peg, I can’t thank you enough for the decades of dedication and passion that you have poured into making your bloodlines perfect.

Thankyou Peg

I’d been following your kennel & progress for a few years. I had an opportunity to finally purchase my favorite breed, a Chinese Crested HHL, at an affordable price (to me), locally. However, she was born with a closed ear canal. I love her extremely & Will never part with my Ria girl. 🩷

But my life changed last year when I saw a photo you posted of your then recent litter. She was a tiny black and white puff female. I kept looking at her photo until I felt encouraged to contact you about your location and her price. You sent the additional photos I’d asked for and it was love immediately. I had to have her. You told me you were calling her Tink and I knew claiming her was the right thing for me to do. She was in Omaha & I was in Arizona but you arranged everything without delay.

My husband & I drove to Las Vegas to pick her up and we welcomed little Tink to our pack where she fit right in. She’s given us ( and each of our pack) soo much love and joy.

Tiny Tink has won everyone over including our 120 pound German Shepherd. EVERYONE loves her. Our vet Dr Angione @ Kingman Animal Hospital says Tink is perfect. Everyone at the groomers love her. Our neighbors love her. She is our lovely gorgeous princess baby. 🩷. And anyone that wants to hear more can feel free to contact me. Peg has always been most helpful, knowledgeable, and available to contact with help in answering any questions which mostly stem from my insecurity. I’m still learning about the breed.

I cannot thank Peg enough for giving me the opportunity to have our Tink. She is just precious. I totally recommend the pups from Shaw Kennels.

We have been min pin parents since 2005, we fell in love with the breeds energy, personality and gorgeous looks.  Our last 2 loves have been Shaw puppies.  Bentley who is now 4 and Bailey who just turned 1.  We love the professionalism and care that she shows for her dogs.  We would recommend a Shaw pup to anyone looking for a great dog with lots of love and personality.

Peg shaw is an amazing breeder who cares about what she breeds. I perched my first full blooded crested from her. She is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and was never rude. I found her after a lengthy search and meany scammers. The Chinese crested we received is an amazing lovable girl who love everyone. An I am so thankful I found Peg and will be going through her in the future for puppies.

I purchased this little guy from Peg Shaw and couldn’t be any happier with him. He came to me very well adjusted to inside life and nearly potty trained and knew how to use a doggie door. Peg was very generous with her sharing of abundant knowledge of Min pins and encouraged me to reach out to her with any questions. Little Roscoe has been readily accepted by my other two  Min Pins here in Iowa. Great shout out to Peg!!!

We have previously had 2 other min pins Sampson and Jack who was a rescue.We loved them both for 15 plus years each,now we have Rogan to enjoy and he brings such joy to our lives every day. You truly have the most beautiful specimens we have ever seen, we get asked all the time if he is a show dog.Kim and Bob Tebbetts🐶💖

I am thrilled to share my experience with Peg Shaw, the breeder behind my male hairless Chinese Crested, Cash, whose registered name is OHBIS GCH Shaw’s Burnin’ A Hole In My Pocket. From the moment I brought Cash home, it was clear that he was going to take me for a ride!

Over the past five years, Cash has taken me on an amazing journey in the show ring. He has earned the title of Grand Champion, with multiple group placements, multiple Owner Handler group winning, an owner handler toy specialty Best in Show and a regular Owner Handler Best in Show. His achievements are a testament to Peg’s commitment to quality and excellence in her breeding program.

What truly sets Peg apart is her unwavering support and guidance throughout our time together. Whenever I faced challenges in showing Cash, Peg was always there with insightful advice and uplifting words that kept me motivated. Her passion for her dogs and dedication to her clients shine through in every interaction.

I recommend Peg Shaw to anyone looking for a reputable breeder. Her knowledge, experience, and genuine care for her dogs ensure that you will receive not just a remarkable dog, but also a supportive partner in your dog-showing journey.

Thank you, Peg!

I have 2 of Shaw’s Chinese Cresteds. Peg was so helpful in making sure the right one was a fit for what I was looking for, she answered all my questions and is still available if I have any questions. Her puppies are healthy and have great temperament. I got one at 5 months of age and one at 9 weeks and they are so outgoing. When I’m ever ready for another I will go to her for my next crested. I recommend her to anyone wanting a pet or a show Chinese Crested cause you cannot go wrong.

I am thankful for the two min pins I’ve gotten from Peg Shaw. One of our girls is 11 years old and one is 3. Both beautiful, playful, and loving. They have brought us years of happiness in our home. We have future intentions of getting another one from Peg in a few more years. I trust that the dogs we buy from her are from great parentage and would never hesitate to buy again from her.

The Chinese Crested has always been my breed. I have allergies, and this breed has always just made sense for me. Over the years, I’ve had about five Chinese Cresteds — many of them rescues, and a few purchased. I’ve loved every single one, but before I found Peg Shaw, I had quite a few problems with the dogs I acquired because they didn’t come from reputable breeders.

One of my rescues had only one eye, another passed away from cancer far too young — and while I adored them all, those experiences taught me how critical it is to go through a responsible, ethical breeder. I didn’t fully understand what a difference that makes until I found Peg.

About three years ago, I purchased a male from Peg, and he is, without question, the best dog that has ever entered my life. He’s small, exactly as described, and has the most wonderful temperament — truly perfect in every way. Peg was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We had arranged for him to be a Christmas surprise for my children, and she made it happen by coordinating delivery in Orlando during an AKC show. My parents picked him up, and everything went perfectly. He’s been the highlight of our lives ever since.

Last year, we decided to add another to our family — this time a female Powderpuff, my first of that variety. Peg once again made the process effortless and personal, arranging the pickup at her December AKC show in Orlando. Our Powderpuff is just as wonderful — healthy, affectionate, and full of personality.

One of the things I appreciate most about Peg is that she doesn’t disappear after the puppy goes home. She’s always been available for questions — whether it’s about grooming, feeding, training, or health. I’ve even texted her directly from the veterinary clinic a few times when I thought there might be an emergency, and she immediately responded with calm, knowledgeable guidance that helped me stay grounded. She’s incredibly experienced, professional, and kind — and she genuinely cares about her dogs and their families.

I can honestly say that the two dogs I have from Peg are absolutely gorgeous — the kind of Cresteds that make you smile when people call them “the world’s ugliest dog,” because these two are living proof of how stunning, elegant, and loving this breed can be when bred with care and integrity. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to get another puppy from her.

Review: Atticus

From the very first moment I contacted Peg, I was deeply impressed by her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine love for the Chinese Crested breed. She immediately took the time to answer all of my questions, ensuring that we were the right match for one another before moving forward. Throughout the process, Peg kept us consistently updated on our puppy’s progress, sending photos and information as we awaited his arrival.

When our puppy, Atticus, arrived, our veterinarian was astonished by the completeness and quality of the health records provided — they even remarked that they had never seen such thorough documentation and evidence of care for a young puppy. It was clear that Peg had gone far above and beyond in every aspect of early development, health monitoring, and socialization during those first ten weeks.

Peg personally followed up to make sure that Atticus had arrived safely and settled in well. In the years since, she has remained an incredible resource, always available to offer guidance on grooming, nutrition, socialization, and even vaccination choices. Her depth of knowledge is remarkable, and her commitment to her dogs doesn’t end when they leave her home.

Atticus has grown into the most beautiful, healthy, and affectionate companion — well-adjusted, bright, and wonderfully social. We continue to send Peg photos a few times a year, and she always replies promptly and with genuine warmth. It’s rare to find someone who so clearly views her puppies and their families as lifelong connections.

Peg will always be a part of our lives — and Atticus’s — and we are endlessly grateful for the care, dedication, and love she pours into every one of her dogs.

Much love,

Cheryl, Adrian Burgos, and our little man Atticus

I purchased Marcus, a black and white Chinese Crested puppy from Peg this past July. She provided all of the photos and requested information that I needed in order to make an informed decision regarding the purchase. She also made every effort possible to have him flown into a convenient local airport.
Marcus arrived spotlessly clean and groomed. He also was completely trained to use potty pads. Not even one mistake.
Based on my experience I can recommend Peg as a competent professional breeder.

We are so happy with Ellie. She has a wonderfully sweet and playful personality. She loves to play fetch. Ellie is very healthy and has a beautiful coat. She is gorgeous and we get compliments on her all of the time. She is everything we hoped for and we could not be more happy with our little powderpuff.

Highly Recommend Peg Shaw for Min Pins!
We had a wonderful experience working with Peg Shaw. From our initial inquiry, she was very responsive and professional, taking time to explain her breeding practices and comprehensive health guarantee.
The entire process was smooth. We brought home the sweetest little guy who is happy and healthy. His champion bloodline really shows in how smart he is, too! We are thrilled with our new family member and have confidently referred Peg to friends and family in search of a responsible breeder and a wonderful pet.

Fiddle In The Band, 2023 Miniature Pinscher

Breeder Peggy Shaw, Wilber, Nebraska

AKC Breeder of Merit

 

In 2023, I learned about Shaw Miniature Pinschers from a fellow veterinarian with a Chinese Crested. I was seeking a healthy, genetically sound dog with a good disposition from a reputable breeder. My friend recommended Peggy Shaw highly.  I called immediately and fortunately there was a puppy available. We drove from Texas to Nebraska to pick up this puppy. I found Peggy Shaw to be knowledgeable, dedicated to her dogs, responsible, responsive, and interested in the education of dog owners.  By the time we reached Texas, Fiddle was fully bonded with me and my husband.

 

Fiddle (Fiddle In The Band) is an incredible dog. He is smart, sweet, energetic, comical, and pretty, although we had no aspirations to show him. My husband and I have never been without dogs, of various breeds, from our birth to the present and we agree that Fiddle is the best dog we have ever had.  His mind and trainability were obvious from day one. I think he has had only one accident in the house. He has learned multiple fun tricks and comes running when he is called – almost always. He lives on a farm with an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie and, of course, he is the boss despite size and age disparitywithin an exceptionally affable group. Fiddle travels very well, whether by car or by plane.  He is becoming a frequent traveler.  Fellow passengers frequently comment on how well behaved he is and so do veterinarians at the veterinary conferences he attends.

 

I am an equine veterinarian, so I take my dogs to a small animal veterinarian. During a recent trip to his veterinarian, she remarked that Fiddle is the sweetest dog she has ever seen in her clinic. That makes a pet parent proud.

 

When my sister met Fiddle, she decided she needed a Shaw Miniature Pinscher also.  She is as happy with her puppy, Ruby, as I am with Fiddle.  I expect another Miniature Pinscher is in our future and we will get a puppy from Peggy Shaw.

Here is my review. 5 stars. -I got my beautiful Chinese Crested, Pepper, from Peg Shaw about four years ago, and I couldn’t love her more if I tried. She’s healthy, happy, and has the sweetest personality — truly the light of my life. Peg is everything you could hope for in a breeder: trustworthy, knowledgeable, and full of genuine love for her dogs. You can tell she puts her heart into every pup she raises. I highly recommend Peg Shaw to anyone looking for healthy, well-socialized, and absolutely wonderful pups.

After showing a working breed for many years my husband and I decided we would like something smaller that we could enjoy showing ourselves. Temperament, health testing, and longevity, along with breeder support, was important to us. Upon carefully consideration, conversations and answering any questions on what would be a new breed for us, Peg Shaw was the breeder we chose.

I must say our Chinese Crested Dapper,  GCH Shaw’s Saratoga Simply Smashing has been such a joyful addition to our home.  So whimsical, loving, entertaining and loyal. He has the attitude that makes a great show dog as well as a wonderful pet. He adapts to anything from snuggling to swimming in the pool. We just love him. Great with the grandchildren and our other dogs. He finished his AKC Grand Championship and is enjoying retirement. We couldn’t be happier, thank you Peg for our little boy.
