I'm the breeder behind Illusion Miniature Pinschers located in Wilbur, WA. I produce quality pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether showing or as an active companion. My puppies are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family that will match their temperament and personality.
About Lynn
I have been involved in many aspects of dog sports, obedience, Schutzhund, tracking, and spent 17 years in SAR (Search & Rescue). My background as a trainer has included training Police Narcotic Detection dogs, Personal Protection Dogs, and all levels of Obedience training. I have also been doing Behavioral Rehabilitation for over 40 years. I was a Professional Show Dog Handler for 18 years, and now I just show my own dogs.
What makes Lynn’s program special
I only breed healthy, good temperament dogs and usually only when I want another puppy to show. I do not breed just to sell puppies and I am there for any puppy buyer for the life of the puppy. I am there to answer any questions, help with any behavior or training issues, and will always be there to board if need be. I truly want the very best for my pups and their forever families.

Lynn’s certifications & recognitions
AKC Breeder of Merit, Professional Handler, Associate Dog Trainer
Lynn has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,200 - $2,500 and include a refundable deposit of $500.
“Pet puppies start at $1200 and are all sold on a limited registration and spay/neuter contract. Show puppies are only sold to an established show breeder unless references are supplied and verified. The deposit paid is to hold a puppy in your name, if at any time you decide you no longer want to retain a puppy, you forfeit the deposit and the puppy will no longer be held for you.”
Lynn may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Lynn offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Lynn directly.
I have 5 grandkids so the puppies are comfortable around children. They are raised in my livingroom where they are subjected to all kinds of noises and people. Puppies are trained to go in/out of a dog door and to use a potty pad. My dog yard is set up with several obstacles, including an A-frame, tires, a swimming pool (summer), and many toys. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Household Desensitization, Human Interactions, Potty Pad Training, Doggy Door Training, Toys, e.g. Ball, Noise Desensitization, and Socialized with Children.
My puppies can not leave my home until they are 10 weeks of age and have had at minimum 2 vaccinations. Puppies are started on a deworming regime at 4 weeks of age and all puppies are microchipped.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Illusion Miniature Pinschers hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Lynn offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Lynn started breeding
I have always had animals. I raised about every type of farm animal and have always had dogs. I started breeding dogs when I got into some of the dog sports. I offer quality puppies from carefully planned litters. I focus on temperament, soundness, and beauty. My dogs are family members first and foremost. I am passionate about the work I do and truly love my dogs.
