Meet the breeder

I'm Kristen H., the breeder behind EsKay Mini Schnauzers located in Scottsboro, AL. Raising puppies has been so much fun, although we take our role in raising them seriously. Breeding has helped us share the joy of our dogs with other families and individuals.

Q. & A. with Kristen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My grandmother has had several litters, past and present. When I was young, I always loved going out to the kennels and playing with the dogs and their pups! I had wanted to do it before but never had a means until we moved into our house! So I decided to start in March 2022, when I purchased my first babies, Lady and Winston. My program has grown since and hopefully will continue to!
  • What makes your program special?

    I am an experienced Miniature Schnauzer owner and am extremely hands on with my program. I have loved the breed since I was 4 years old and have had or been around the breed ever since! I make sure that all of my babies are taken care of!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

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

    They live in my home.

    We had such an amazing experience with Kirsten. She was communicative, kind, and patient throughout the entire process, which meant so much to us as first time puppy parents. We drove from Tennessee to Alabama to bring our puppy home, and it was completely worth it. He came to us clean, sweet, and clearly well cared for. His temperament is calm and affectionate, which speaks volumes about the environment he was raised in. We’re so grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, well loved puppy.

    Working with Kristen was a wonderful experience. I waited a long time to find the right puppy & she worked with me throughout my search. Our puppy, Bindi, is just a doll. She is everything I have been looking for.

    From the moment we brought our puppy home, we knew he was something truly special. He fit right into our family as if he had always been ours. His temperament is absolutely incredible-gentle, loving, and so patient. We are beyond grateful for the amazing start he was given-it truly shines through in his personality and confidence. He has brought so much joy into our home, and we honestly couldn't imagine life without him. Kristen truly knows what she is doing and was amazing to work with from start to finish. We are so thankful for the love and care she puts into her puppies-it makes all the difference.
