Q. & A. with Kathy
What makes your program special?
My dogs are not kenneled and live here in my home. We feel that Schnauzers need to be a part of the family. It's not only important for us to produce great pups, but to make sure they go to good and loving homes. We only place our dogs in homes with children five and older, in the best interest of the child and puppy.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
