I'm Miguel R., the breeder behind Canteranos pups located in College Park, MD. Our dogs are bred for health, sound temperament, and intelligence. We aim to produce exceptional family companions through careful health screening, and hands‑on, ethical care. As responsible breeders, we raise our dogs as part of the family.
Q. & A. with Miguel
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding Miniature Schnauzers started as an unexpected journey. What began with a deep love for my own dogs grew into a commitment to raising healthy, well-socialized puppies with great temperaments and lifelong support. I keep my litters small, hands-on and home raised
What makes your program special?
What sets my program apart is the personal, hands-on care behind every puppy. I raise small, home-based litters with a focus on health, and early socialization. Each puppy is part of daily life from the start, and I stay connected with the families they join—offering guidance, support, and a genuine relationship that lasts well beyond placement.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver and salt and pepper. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
