Q. & A. with Joe
What makes your program special?
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 parti, liver, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

These two are doing great. One has a forever home and will go home at Christmas. The more white one is still looking for his forever home. He is full of energy and likes to ring the hanging bell to go outside. Also uses the doggie door to go play outside.
