Meet the breeder

I'm Cecilia S., the breeder behind Birkin’s Miniature Schnauzers located in Los Angeles, CA. I’m Cece, a Peruvian psychologist and researcher. I bring an evidence-informed approach to raising Birkin’s puppies, with close attention to health, nutrition, early stimulation, and loving home care. My goal is to raise confident, intelligent companions for responsible, devoted families.

Q. & A. with Cecilia

Why did you start breeding?
My interest in breeding began through my love for Birkin and the Miniature Schnauzer breed. I wanted to raise her puppies with the same care and attention I give her, while learning about responsible breeding, genetics, health, nutrition, and early puppy development.
What makes your program special?
My puppies are raised in my home with close supervision, individual attention, and lots of affection. I use a research-informed approach focused on health, nutrition, gentle handling, early stimulation, and socialization, with the goal of raising confident, intelligent, and loving companions.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include salt and pepper and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Cecilia partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“Prospective families are screened based on lifestyle, experience, household, and ability to provide lifelong care. Approved buyers may reserve an available puppy, but I may recommend the puppy whose temperament and needs best match the family. Final placement prioritizes the puppy’s well-being and long-term compatibility.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $1,000 non-refundable deposit and between $1,000 - $2,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Each puppy includes vaccinations and deworming, a veterinary health check, a starter supply of food, a familiar-scent item, and ongoing breeder support as they transition into their new home. Puppies are priced from $3,000 to $4,000, depending on individual characteristics. A deposit is required to reserve a specific puppy, the remaining balance is due before the puppy goes home.”

About Birkin
Birkin is a loving, intelligent, and affectionate Miniature Schnauzer with a big personality and an unmistakable presence. She is extremely devoted to her owner, Cece, and happily goes everywhere with her. Birkin lives a very sophisticated little life and is used to being included in all kinds of experiences, from upscale dinner parties in New York City to exploring nature, beaches, and the ocean in Los Angeles. She is confident, curious, social, and very people-oriented, and she seems to attract attention everywhere she goes. Birkin loves being part of the action and is happiest when she is right by Cece’s side, joining her in daily adventures, outings, travel, and quiet moments at home. Despite her glamorous lifestyle, Birkin is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and tender. She forms a very strong bond with her family and has a sweet, nurturing nature. She is playful and expressive, but also loving and attentive, making her the perfect combination of companion, adventure buddy, and devoted family dog. Birkin is AKC registered and health tested.
