I'm ELIZABETH U., the breeder behind Halo Schnauzer located in Coarsegold, CA. We are committed to breeding healthy, well-balanced dogs. All of our breeding dogs undergo thorough genetic testing and are cleared by our trusted veterinarian to ensure the highest health standards.
Temperament is just as important to us as health—both the dam and sire are selected for their exceptional, family-friendly personalities. Our stud lives with us full-time and plays an active, loving role in raising the puppies during their time in our care, helping shape their confidence and social skills from day one.
Q. & A. with ELIZABETH
Why did you start breeding?
Saber & Dutchess started Halo Schnauzer in 2020. Raising that first litter was such a rewarding and joyful experience that it sparked a deep passion in us. We found ourselves wanting to do more, to dedicate ourselves fully to breeding Miniature Schnauzers responsibly. Our goal is to produce healthy, well-tempered puppies that bring as much happiness to their families as our own dogs bring to us.
What makes your program special?
We are passionate about preparing our puppies to thrive in their forever homes. We love to work with our buyers throughout the process so that they are fully prepared and excited to welcome their new furry companion into their homes and hearts.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include 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.

Halo Schnauzer are incredible to deal with. They are very dedicated to breeding healthy and genetically superior mini schnauzers. The parents Saber and Shade are just beautiful dogs and so well tempered. We love our puppy Alfie, he is so smart and a beautiful dog. We could tell when we picked him up their facilities are just top notch and they really love the dogs.

I was looking for a mini schnauzer puppy and came across Halo Schnauzer through the AKC website. Elizabeth and Frank were amazing the whole way through from first email contact to the day I picked up my puppy. It's obvious they put a lot of love and care into each litter. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to add a new puppy to their family.
