Meet the breeder
I'm Samantha M., the breeder behind Ancient City Schnauzers located in St. Augustine, FL. Our pups are bred to high standards. All of my adults are health and genetic tested. We are vet checked and follow a healthy happy lifestyle. All of our dogs live in our home. The puppies are raised in our home around children and toddlers. We make sure our pups are well socialized.
Q. & A. with Samantha
Why did you start breeding?
I knew after a few years of owning a schnauzer I wanted to be able to share my love of the breed with others. I researched and found a great girl to start with and with help from her breeder I was able to start my own program.What makes your program special?
I raise all of my dogs in my home with my family. I care for all of my dogs. I do not consider them breeding stock. They run the house. I just supply the food and toys. Some days they even share the couch with me.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include parti, liver, salt and pepper, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
