Meet the breeder

I'm Hollie H., the breeder behind Hardcastle Family Schnauzer’s located in Sacramento, CA. Every puppy we raise is adored as part of our family from birth. Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others. Our Dogs are Embark Tested.

Q. & A. with Hollie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted to be able to give others the opportunity to own their own family-oriented Mini Schnauzer. Our Mamas and Dads are vet cleared and Embarked DNA/ Health Tested.
  • What makes your program special?

    We offer live feed, videos, and picture updates for our dog parents to watch their puppies grow in real-time while they are under our dog mama's care. We also send home a care package as well.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    This experience of adopting our little Lillie from Hollie has been absolutely a dream. She was responsive and answered all my questions (even the ridiculous ones). This is our first time adopting a puppy so little & she helped us know what to be prepared for & must have items to make the transition easier. We also got updates & pictures pretty frequently which made the wait not feel so long 😂 You can tell the puppies are so loved with Hollie and it translates into when they officially come home.

    My experience with Hollie from Hardcastle Mini Schnauzers was awesome. You can really tell she loves what she does and most of all how much she loves her animals. If and when I can purchase my next female it will definitely be with Hollie. Thank you so much to you and your family Hollie❤️

    We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Hardcastle Family Mini Schnauzer! From our first inquiry to bringing our beautiful Mini Schnauzer puppy home, everything was handled with such care and professionalism. Hollie truly goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of their puppies and the families they join. The puppies are raised in a loving, clean environment, and you can see the attention to detail in every aspect—from early socialization to health checks. They provided us with a thorough health history, vaccination records, and even sent us home with a care package full of toys, food, and instructions on how to transition our new family member smoothly. What stood out the most was their genuine love for the parents and their puppies. Hollie takes the time to match each puppy with the right family, ensuring both the dogs and owners are happy and well-suited to each other. They were incredibly patient with all of our questions and kept us updated with photos and videos of our puppy’s progress. Our little Schnauzer Dante has the sweetest temperament, is well-adjusted, and has already become the heart of our home. If you’re looking for people who care deeply about the health and happiness of their dogs, look no further. Hardcastle Family Mini Schnauzer is truly exceptional, and we feel so lucky to have found them! Thank you again for our wonderful new addition! Ian, Margie and Oliver-Dante

    We had an absolutely amazing experience getting our new puppy from Hollie with Hardcastle Family Mini Schnauzers. Hollie is incredibly warm, welcoming and professional. Her knowledge on the Schnauzer breed was impressive and incredibly helpful as we discussed everything needed to insure our new puppies quality of life and health. The loving family environment that the puppies were born into spoke volumes in the care and quality of the puppies. My family and I left feeling supported and empowered to begin our new life with our fur baby! Thank you Hollie! You are amazing!
