Q. & A. with David
Why did you start breeding?
Although I am very involved in showing my dogs, they are beloved companions first and foremost. I decided to responsibly breed them as a way to complement my female and improve the breed. I hope to connect my puppies to individuals and families that will love them just as much as I do.What makes your program special?
My breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention I give to every detail of the journey. I am a professional handler of Schnauzers. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
