I have these two sweet boys still available. They received their second vaccinations last week and are ready to go home.


Schatzi and Faith's litter

What will the dark puppies look like when they are older? The picture of the puppy is Gus at 10 weeks old. He is now 1.5 yrs old and has changed dramatically. He is now salt and pepper and is a great companion. The dark puppies that are available will look very similar to him as their adult coloration develops.

Green collar male is doing great. He is right at 5 lbs and will be ready for his forever home after March 12th. He now asking to go outside when in his sleeping area and occasionally rings the bells hanging from my patio doors. He is more vocal and lets you know when he needs something like to go outside.

We had a great vet visit today for wellness check and their first parvo/distemper vaccination. They all did great and are very healthy. The boys all weighed over 4 lbs and the two females weighed in at 3.5 lbs. temperature, heart rate and breathing were all normal. The boys all have both testicles dropped.

Enjoying the morning outside at 6 weeks old. They received their first hair cuts and are just striking. Their silver is beginning to really show through. They tend to lose the black stripe on back and the tan across their heads and ears. They will have more of a slat and pepper look at a year old like their older brother pictured here. The lime green collar male is still available. His two sibling’s have been selected by their forever families.

About Zoey
Zoey is a curious protector of everyone. She is the disciplinarian of any pups we have. If she thinks they are getting too rough with each other, she will hold them down till they stop and calm down. She loves babies and wants to take care of all of them. She loves walks and sleeping on a pillow above my head. :)

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!
