Q. & A. with Adam
Why did you start breeding?
I Obtained my first Standard Schnauzer in 2007, and began to compete in AKC confirmation shows soon afterwards. Thus began my Journey into the world of purebred dogs. After many years of competition, and having the opportunity to learn and grow under the guidance of many cherished friends and mentors. I Decided to follow in there footsteps, and help steward the breed into the future.What makes your program special?
At Highbrow My goal is to produce the best examples of the breed I can. For both myself, and individuals or family’s looking to bring a Standard Schnauzer into their homes. Producing quality animals with excellent health , good structure and sound temperatures . Is my number one goal. There is nothing more rewarding then placing a puppy into the home of a well informed family or individual , and watching them grow and develop together.

Parent dogs
Cordelia, mom
Standard Schnauzer
About Cordelia
Cordelia is a lovely example of the Standard Schnauzer, combining strong breed type with a wonderful temperament. She is confident, intelligent, and biddable, with the kind of stable, sensible nature that makes her a pleasure to live and work with. She comes from a strong pedigree with generations of quality Standard Schnauzers behind her and has completed and passed all recommended breed health testing. Cordelia is approximately 75% European breeding, bringing together bloodlines that we have carefully incorporated into our breeding program. Just as importantly, Cordelia has proven herself to be an excellent mother. She whelped and raised her first litter naturally and confidently, showing the strong maternal instincts and steady temperament we value in our breeding dogs. With this breeding, our goal was to pair Cordelia with a male who complemented her strengths while continuing to improve the next generation. We are looking for puppies with correct breed type, sound and balanced structure, effortless movement, excellent temperaments, and the health and longevity to be wonderful companions and representatives of the Standard Schnauzer.
