MPCA Honor Roll Sires and Dams (HR)
The Honor Roll recognizes dogs that have sired at least eleven (11) champions and bitches that have produced at least six (6) champions. The owners of these miniature pinschers are given a certificate designating the dog/bitch achievement. After that, the total champions are adjusted and printed in the awards program each year.
This award is based on the total number of champions produced by sires and dams over the dog's lifetime. Although the awards are awarded and updated annually, they are cumulative, differing from other MPCA awards.
