I was so impressed with Kelly's operation breeding schnauzer puppies. The boy I got from her is my ninth schnauzer over the past 45 years. He conforms to breed standard and is beautiful just like his champion parents. Kelly wrangles multiple litters of gorgeous healthy puppies with obvious skill and experience as well as amazing organization and almost military precision. We recently lost our beloved miniature schnauzer Hunter and our remaining schnauzer Oslo was grieving as hard as we were. I was afraid it might take me months to find an appropriate puppy to complete our family again. But Kelly has this down to a science. I contacted a breeder I trust, from whom I got my other schnauzer, and she referred me to Kelly who already had puppies on the ground. I was fortunate enough to get in line for one about a month away from being ready to go home. Kelly is all about sharing her breeding bonafides on a granular level. Not only does she thoroughly understand and explain the genetics of proper breeding (just read some of her website), but she goes the extra miles by testing her puppies for multiple diseases as well as personality traits. She is so confident in her bloodlines she even gives a health guarantee. Every few days she shares new videos of the growing litters of puppies on her website so you can watch your puppy through his early development stages. You can see how he behaves and plays and interacts with the other puppies. Kelly also has a Facebook page for owners of her schnauzers where they share photos and stories of their BVS schnauzers. I am so grateful to Kelly for providing us with Bear, our happy, well-socialized now-16 weeks old puppy. He is just an adorable furry bundle of happiness who has already brought endless joy and laughter back into our lives. Kelly's description of his personality and typical behavior was spot-on and he fits perfectly into our little family. I look forward to giving Bear a little brother to grow up with when he gets a bit older. There is nothing in the world cuter than a schnauzer puppy. ♥️

Picking up Bronco was an amazing experience. We were able to meet his parents and grandfather to confirm their health and temperament, and we were able to see the housing and space provided for the puppies. They were kind enough to send personalized videos to help us see the temperaments of the puppies to make our final pick. Can’t say enough good things about Belle Vista Miniature Schnauzers!

Kelly was wonderful! She was very straight forward, trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, and highly organized. I felt completely comfortable with her. It was an incredible experience! I would highly recommend her to anyone I know looking for a miniature schnauzer. Her puppies are beautiful and has a great breeding program. Health of the animals always first. She was everything I wanted in a breeder and would use her again. We are so happy with our little Ruby!

Belle Vista Schnauzers is so well run. Kelly keeps great records of each litter and provides weekly updates on all puppies. She provides photos and videos so you can monitor and track personalities and with puppy would make the perfect fit into your family. Communication is always prompt and she offers so much support with any questions even after picking your puppy up. She even gave me a quick grooming training as she clipped our little Sadie so she had a fresh haircut to come home with! She checks in afterwards just to make sure everything is going smoothly and has a facebook page for all her customers to share their love of schnauzers!

Finding our new little dog Lucy through Belle Vista Miniature Schnauzers was a wonderful experience. We had been searching for an adult miniature schnauzer for several months with no luck so we decided to adopt a puppy. Kelly had one male puppy still available but another person had applied before us so our chances weren’t good. I happened to mention our interest in an adult dog, and she sent me a video of Lucy! It was love at first sight! Kelly is so caring of the puppies she adopts, that if things don’t work out, she takes the dog back to make sure it gets a good home. We were the lucky ones she chose to adopt Lucy. It has been 3 weeks and we couldn’t be happier with our sweet Lucy! Thank you, Kelly! 💕
