    Kristin was very helpful and very very patient with us, she knew what we were trying to do and accomplish. She kept us updated on how Coco was doing during the process, she answered every question that we had and explained in full detail what we needed to know, I would most definitely get another Pet from this lovely lady in a heartbeat 💗

    I was wanting a puppy and I went through Good Dog just because It is safer for the buyer to send the money and protects the breeder as well. So, there is No Funny Business there. This is where I obserded , Ardents Miniature Schnauzer of Athens. She had listed the most beautiful baby Schnauzers and I decided on one of hers. I texted her to ask if he was available. Kristen responded right away. Luckily , he was available and I bought him when he was one week old. So, I naturally had a waiting period for him to be with his mom. During this time , Kristen would send updates and videos so I could watch him grow. When we decided on his name. She started calling him by our name. That was so helpful of him knowing his name. Finally, it was time for him to come home. She sent a care package also with cloth potty pad and a blanket with his mom and siblings smells. That also was very helpful with his transition. Really Great Breeder. We still chat. She likes to know how her babies are getting along. I would recommend her. My dog is beautiful,smart and well bred. Thanks Kristin form Ardents Miniature Schnauzer of Athens.

    We had the most wonderful experience with Kristin from Ardent Miniature Schnauzers of Athens and cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we brought home our sweet Miya, it was clear she had been given the very best start. Miya was already amazing with potty training she used the potty pads perfectly from day one with no issues at all. It truly felt like a dream and made the transition to bringing a new puppy home so smooth and stress-free. She is also incredibly smart and eager to learn. Miya already knows sit and lay down, and she continues to impress us daily with how quickly she picks things up. On top of her intelligence, she is the sweetest, most loving little pup with a wonderful temperament. Kristin is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive, always willing to answer questions and share guidance. You can truly tell how much care, dedication, and love she puts into raising her puppies. We feel so blessed to have Miya and are beyond grateful to Kristin for giving her such an amazing foundation. If you’re looking for a breeder who truly goes above and beyond, Ardent Miniature Schnauzers of Athens is the place to go!

    From the very beginning to the day we brought Gia home, Kristin was amazing to work with. She was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful with everything—from updates and pickup logistics to paperwork and advice for those first few weeks at home. Gia has been such a great puppy. She has a wonderful temperament and is already picking up commands like sit, crate, place, and wait. I think that really speaks to the quality of Kristin’s breeding program and the temperament of her dogs. We’re so happy we found Ardent Miniature Schnauzers and have already talked about getting a second puppy from Kristin in a few years! I would absolutely recommend Ardent to anyone looking for a happy, healthy, and well-socialized puppy.

    We are so thrilled to have Charlie! Getting Charlie from Kristin was a wonderful experience. We had previously tried getting a puppy and got scammed. Kristin was a gem! She answered all my questions very promptly. She provided us with photos along the way. Charlie is a joy! He is bright and very smart. Potty training has been smooth so far. Again thank you Kristin!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful experience getting my miniature schnauzer, Roscoe, from Kristin! She was so kind, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. You can tell she truly cares for her dogs—Roscoe came home healthy, happy, and full of personality. He’s been the best little addition to my life, I’m so grateful for her and highly recommend Kristin to anyone searching for the perfect furry little best friend! 🐶💖
