Meet the breeder

I'm Dorie T., the breeder behind Dorie's Mini Schnauzers located in Long Prairie, MN. Our goal is to breed dogs with excellent health and temperament. They are registered with the AKC. All puppies are started on paper training/house training, are vet checked, up to date on all vaccinations and deworming and come with a two-year written health guarantee.

Q. & A. with Dorie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with my first white female schnauzer, and we got a male for her to play with. At that time, we were not intending on breeding them, but things happened. We had our first litter of puppies and just loved them and loved finding homes for them.
  • What makes your program special?

    What is special about us is that we have all our dogs and puppies raised right in our home with us. I always take extra loving care of the puppies as they grow.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
