I'm Michelle K., the breeder behind Canyon Rose Schnauzers located in West Point, NE. Every puppy we raise is adored as part of our family from birth. We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. I try to place the right puppy with the right home, so I do want to hear about what you are looking for in a puppy, and I will watch as personality develops so you get the best puppy for you!
Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Minature Schnauzers- that was just the beginning of my deep love for the breed! My dogs have such unique personalities, there is no way to have just one!
What makes your program special?
I breed dogs for the love of the dog! I fell in love with schnauzers and love to share the breed with others.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Miniature Schnauzer puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, black, salt and pepper, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Michelle was awesome! She was very responsive, kept us up to date on our little guys growth and health, and supplied us with lots of pictures. Finn is full of energy, is sassy, playful and very loveable. He is exactly what we were looking for! We couldn't be happier with our lil' guy. Michelle is great to work with and she knows her pups.

Michelle was great to work with. Very responsive and informative. You can tell she’s cares for her dogs. She met us 1/2 way to deliver him . His name is Eddie. I was unexpectedly widowed this year and thought long and hard about getting a pup. Did a lot of research on the miniature schnauzer and decided to go for it. Best decision I’ve made. My grandkids love Eddie and so does the rest of the family. He is definitely helping to heal our broken hearts . I highly recommend Canyon Rose Schnauzers .
