Meet the breeder
I'm Christina W., the breeder behind Hillside Kennels located in Collinsville, MS. We’re proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies we raise for other families to love! We have developed several protocols to ensure the health and well-being of all of our dogs. It’s our top priority to make sure each of our puppy families welcome a happy and healthy new family member into their homes!
Q. & A. with Christina
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up working in a vet clinic for 15+ years and breeding always interested me. I use to show boxers while in college and fell in love with the breed. I decided to purse my passion of raising quality puppies for new families to enjoy. Later on, when my son was diagnosed with allergies, I had to transition from the shedding boxers and decided on the Minis, and eventually expanded to the Giants!What makes your program special?
I spend hours daily ensuring the first 8-10 weeks of these puppies lives are full of love, attention, structure, socialization, etc. They are raised inside and I start young working on potty training and basic manners. I also spend time with desensitization to ensure they don’t go to their new homes scared and shaking in a corner. I truly do prioritize these babies while I have them in my care!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature Schnauzer puppies include white, parti, black, and salt and pepper. Giant Schnauzer puppies include black and tan, pepper and salt, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 27 Oct. •…5 cities. 1,800+ miles. 3 puppies. 1 day. Collinsville → Jackson → Charlotte → Cleveland → Dallas → Jackson → Collinsville Wheels up at 5 AM. Back by midnight (hopefully). It's a marathon of a day, but when it comes to delivering these pups safely and stress-free (for their new families at least) I don't cut corners! They fly in-cabin, in their own carriers, treated like first class! Now for me?! I run on caffeine, chaos, and pure determination. Let's do this! 😅✈️

Zeus, dad
Giant Schnauzer
About Zeus
Let me tell you about my man Zeus! 🖤 He is a mammas boy for sure and doesn’t mind letting everyone know! This guy is absolutely STUNNING and I always get complimented on how majestic he is! He’s a big boy weighing in just over 90lbs and is built like a tank! But don’t let that fool you, he’s a big softy and has the fun goofy breed tendencies. He stands true to the breed standards in all ways with his characteristics and personality. As with most giants, he is hard headed and took a firm approach to train, but the results are absolutely remarkable! He has been certified as a theraphy dog and goes most everywhere with me. While working he is the absolute best dog! He knows his job and does it well. When we are home, he lets loose and runs the farm. He is very protective of our family, but warms up to company after sensing they are not a threat. He has a very impressive pedigree with many Champion and Grand Champion lines. He is absolutely remarkable!

Giant Schnauzer
About Beyla
Beyla is a beautiful pepper and salt female. She has the more traditional wire coat and stocky build. Her personality is very loving and playful! She is literally in your lap if you are sitting down! She loves snuggles and belly rubs. Beyla was easy to train and she loves when we go on long walks or hikes in the woods. She is certified as a theraphy dog and enjoys our outings greeting new people. She is very passive and doesn’t mind when new people are around. Even though she stays alert, she tends to be less tense with new company and warms up quickly as opposed to my other two. She has all the best qualities of the Giants without some of the more problematic tendencies the breed tends to possess. She is OFA Certified (Fair/Normal) and I am happy to share OFA numbers if needed!

Giant Schnauzer
About Athena
Athena is a beautiful American soft coat black Giant Schnauzer! She has the best personality and is always eager to please. Athena loves to play in the yard and nap in the sun! She has a very calm demeanor and more of a “cat like” personality when it comes to snuggles. She loves to be pet, but doesn’t mind being by herself in her own bed. She is so smart and catches on to new tasks quickly! She is a certified therapy dog who makes regular visits out and about in town. She never meets a stranger while working, but has her true breed standard protection instincts at home! We always know when there is someone or something who doesn’t belong on the farm! She is OFA certified with hips, elbows, and thyroid (good/normal) and I am happy to share OFA numbers if needed. Athena comes from well bred American and Russian Champion bloodlines!
