Teresa was wonderful to work with right from the beginning. My husband and I saw “Little Bit”, now Lillian-Claire(Lilli) and it was love at first sight. William and Teresa made the whole process extremely easy and relaxed. I loved getting pictures and videos of our new fur baby right from the start and updates about her too. Jim the puppy nanny was also lovely to work with. It’s been a week now since Lilli came home and she has fit so perfectly into our family. She gorgeous, cuddly, and everything a mini is which means PERFECT. Do yourself a favor and get a mini and get one from The Beards! Teresa is always there to answer questions and give advice. They truly love the breed and it shows!! Thank you both again!!!

Absolutely fantastic! Teresa was friendly beyond what I could have expected, and this was not my first experience with long distance breeders. And the puppy Cole, there aren’t enough words to express the love that came in that tiny package!! Thank you, a hundred fold.

It was a great experience. My new baby is just as wonderful as promised. He was super healthy and well taken care of. Theresa was super helpful and informative about everything he was used to (treats, dog food brand, etc.). The portfolio they gave me had everything I needed to give to my vet. My vet commented that the breeders had "done everything right" with my puppy. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a mini-schnauzer.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with William and Teresa Beard from Beard’s Little Schnauzers, and we can’t recommend them highly enough. With decades of experience—breeding since the 1980s—the Beards are everything you’d hope for in a breeder and so much more.
They met us halfway for pickup, and when we received our beautiful Schnauzer puppies, Gamble and Cash (born March 30, 2025), they were in perfect health and condition. From the start, the Beards provided us with detailed care instructions, full medical history, and all the information needed to register our purebred pups. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and clear love for these animals was evident from the very beginning.
Since picking up Gamble and Cash on June 19, 2025, our lives have been filled with nothing but pure joy. What was once a family of two is now a family of four, thanks to these wonderful little guys. The Beards have stayed in regular contact with us, always checking in on how the puppies are doing, offering guidance, and genuinely caring about their long-term happiness and well-being.
What sets William and Teresa apart is that their care doesn’t end when the puppies leave their home—they are deeply invested in the lifelong success and health of every puppy they place. Gamble and Cash are thriving, and we’re incredibly grateful to the Beards for the loving foundation they provided.
If you’re looking for a breeder who is experienced, ethical, compassionate, and truly exceptional, look no further than Beard’s Little Schnauzers. We are forever thankful for the gift they’ve given us.
