Meet the breeder

I'm Dawn, the breeder behind Blackhorse Schnauzers Washington state located in Ferndale, WA. In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, we begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. We prioritize the health and well-being of each one of our puppies and follow all appropriate puppy health protocols. I even give money back guarantees! We offer TAILS or docking. We also off 30 days free Trupanion insurance. One of the leading health care plans for your pet!

Q. & A. with Dawn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Mentorship and love for dogs. I take health and Temperaments seriously. I have tons of real references!

  • What makes your program special?

    Customer service and support. Besides the guaranteed puppies.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Dawn

Dawn has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices include a $200 deposit and between $1,900 - $3,800 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“2150 is pet price. Deposit waived for veterans with proof. (We've been lied to) We offer payment plans for future babies too! Usually our babies are spoken for early. But if the rare occasions come and we have older ones (10 weeks) the price comes down to 1500. $4000 is for a show/breeding prospect. I will only consider breeders outside of Washington state who are like minded. (Dogs are PETS first and not kenneled baby factories) All dogs eligible for AKC and microchipping for a fee. We stopped automatically registering as no one followed through with application process. Rising costs as well. We do not charge more than it costs us! Always transferable if you meet your baby and don't like him/her.”

Contract & health guarantee

Dawn may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Dawn offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dawn directly.

    Now I am very happy. I have a beautiful dog who keeps me company every day and is very intelligent. The breeders did a very good job of training him because everything has become easier for me.
