I'm Marie P., the breeder behind Dry Dock Mini Schnauzers located in Sarasota, FL. I have high expectations for myself as a breeder. I breed to the standard and am committed to putting in the work. I am involved in conformation and in the dog world. I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge over the years that I have incorporated into my breeding program. I take great pride in the dogs I produce.
