Q. & A. with Joe

    We strive to provide pet only Miniature Schnauzers. We do not offer full registration of females for breeding. We will provide limited registration for females but there is additional cost and does require spaying before receipt of limited registration application. Full Registration is available for Males (additional 750.00).
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white, parti, liver, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    They live in my home.

    Joe is incredibly knowledgeable about puppyhood, and especially about Miniature Schnauzers. He was wonderful at communicating and updating me with photos of my baby girl prior to me taking her home. I have had my sweet Maelle for two weeks today, and my heart is so full with love for her and gratitude for Joe. Such a great guy!

    Joe was great to work with! He was a great resource and very informative. Our puppy came with some basic potty training and it was very easy to acclimate to our routine. She is such a bundle of joy and we can’t imagine our life without her!
