MINELPHI

Minelphi is a highly successful prefix that was established by my parents, Phillip and Elaine Cross, in 1961. They bred Miniature Pinschers for over 58 years. My parents started out in the breed with a dog from the late Dr Harry and Margaret Spira. Minelphi has produced in excess of 50 champions, 3 Grand Champions and Supreme Champion Minelphi I Am On Fire. When Minelphi was transferred to me in 2014 I went back to the start of the alphabet and introduced a new tradition. Now the registered names of Minelphi puppies, not only begin with the same letter but include a word that connects the litter. My first litter was born on the 1st September, 2014. After my mother passed away, in 2016, my father and I became joint owners. On 28th December, 2022 my father passed away. He was 88 years old.
