Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Steph
Why did you start breeding?
After rescuing our first dog, Daffodil, and later adding Clover to our family, we fell in love with the breed’s personality. Watching the bond between them inspired us to start breeding so that other families could experience the same joy we’ve found. Our goal is to raise puppies who are not only healthy but also well-adjusted to family life from the very beginning.What makes your program special?
We raise only one carefully planned litter a year, giving each puppy the time, attention, and early socialization they deserve. Our puppies are born and raised inside our home—never in kennels—and receive hands-on care every day. We focus on health, temperament, and a smooth transition from our family to yours, so each puppy leaves ready to bring love and companionship to their forever home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I had an amazing experience getting my puppy, Luca, from Steph. From the very beginning, communication was clear, professional, and reassuring. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Luca came home healthy, happy, and well cared for, which truly shows how much time and love goes into raising their puppies. You can tell they genuinely care about their dogs and want them to go to great homes. I’m beyond grateful for this experience and couldn’t be happier with my puppy. I would absolutely recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and caring breeder. Thank you again for bringing Luca into my life!

Hello everyone! I want to start off by saying Steph and her family truly do have the puppies best interest at heart. Steph sent my new puppy home with a goodie bag full of food, toys, and blanket to ease the transition. She was nothing but attentive and very informative. She was able to answer any questions I had and provided plenty of updates on my puppy. She often went above and beyond by responding in a timely manner. She was able to communicate clearly and handled all drop off logistics wonderfully. You can truly tell that she cares about the well being of the puppies and I am very grateful for that. This has been the best experience I’ve ever had and would a million times recommend Daffodil Dogs to anyone who is in search of a miniature schnauzer. I am so grateful for everything she has done for me and my family. I wish her nothing but the best and cannot wait to show her all of my puppies updates along the way! :D
