I'm Andrea G., the breeder behind Celeste's Miniature Schnauzers located in Garden City, MO. Our puppies are bred for health and temperament so that they will make wonderful companions for a lifetime. All parents of the puppies are fully loved, indoor pets that have been chosen to be bred because they are exceptional examples of miniature schnauzers.
Q. & A. with Andrea
Why did you start breeding?
Our family is diverse, being grown from foster care and adoption. Thru these experiences, we've learned the amazing power that the right pet can have in bringing joy and healing to kids and adults alike.
Breeding and training this kind of animal for families that need them became a passion for me.
What makes your program special?
Our program is small and will stay small. It's important to me that these sweet dogs get all the love and attention they deserve. If you get a puppy from our home, you know that your baby is loved and cared for from Day 1. This is not a business for us, but a pleasure. Also, having degrees in molecular biology and biochemistry means that I can make wise health choices when selecting parents.
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.
