Miniature Schnauzers first captivated us when we discovered them doing Flyball and Agility. The amazing intelligence, fun-loving, outgoing personality and non-shedding hypoallergenic coat made them very appealing and it didn't take long for a little black male to join our family. Spencer suited us perfectly. He was so smart and affectionate, it was impossible not to grow to love the breed. 20 years later, we now have many dogs in our breeding program however, all the dogs have their own families to love and care for them on a full-time basis. The only time they live with us is when they are needed for breeding and once the female arrives to have her puppies. Axel and Shelby are our family pets and "surrogate uncle/aunt" to the puppies in residence. By running our breeding program this way, rather than having it set up as a kennel, all our dogs are well mannered, well socialized, friendly family pets and their wonderful temperaments are passed down to their puppies. We look forward to each litter with great anticipation and continue to strive to breed healthy, well socialized, top-quality puppies to meet the breed standard for temperament and structure with the added bonus of producing this unique breed in smaller sizes and rare colors. When we choose to keep one of our schnauzer puppies to add to our breeding program, it is only after we have evaluated the temperament, structure etc. of the puppy and confirmed it is genetically sound (through DNA testing) to make sure it meets or exceeds our expectations. We breed only Miniature schnauzers and Toy Schnauzers as I couldn't imagine working with any other breed. Our dogs produce the regular colors of black, black/silver and salt/pepper as well as the more recessive colors of liver, liver/tan, liver/pepper, parti and white. Our pups come with a 10 year health guarantee, 30 days of free pet insurance (through Trupanion) and first vaccination complete. Deworming and microchipping is standard on all our pups. Our pups are also toy conditioned, crate acclimated (to make potty training a breeze) and have three weeks of toilet training before they go to their new homes. All our puppy owners have lifetime support via email.
