Q. & A. with Joyce
Why did you start breeding?
I first started breeding Schnauzers about 30+ years ago. I stopped for a while due to my health, but am now back at it! I’ve raised other breeds as well, but the Schnauzer was my favorite due to their fun personality, loyalty and how easy they are to train. They are also hypoallergenic, which was another major factor in choosing this select breed to raise.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in a good, healthy environment, and are treated with care. All of their physical and emotional needs are seen to and they are well socialized in preparation to go to their new home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include parti, 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 and guardian homes.

Muffin, mom
Miniature Schnauzer
About Muffin
Muffin is a salt and pepper parti with subtle hints of tan in her thick coat. She has a very gentle disposition and interacts well with people and other dogs. Her profile picture doesn’t reflect her coat as we had given her a mommy cut just before the puppies arrived. We do this in consideration for the puppies and her hygiene during the mommy phase.

Joyce more than met what I looked for in a breeder. Her attention to assisting the buyer of her wonderful puppies was phenomenal. She was free giving of any and all info that was requested. She made several FaceTime calls so that I could see the puppy in real time. Most of all she insured that she was available until you got your puppy home. I would not hesitate to do business with her again.

Working with Joyce was truly a pleasure! She's incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and I'm extremely grateful for how smooth she made the process. I now have an adorable new family member whom I already love to pieces!

I had a great experience getting my miniature schnauzer from Joyce! She was so welcoming when I picked up the puppy and made the entire process super easy. Joyce really took the time to answer all of my questions and even checked in to make sure Cosette was settling in well - you can tell she really cares about her puppies! Cosette is the perfect puppy, she has the sweetest disposition and is very smart. She was already mostly potty trained to use a pan when I brought her home, which made the transition so much easier. I couldn’t be happier with my choice, and I highly recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a miniature schnauzer!

Joyce has been so wonderful to work with. She was very responsive throughout the entire process, and I know that she will continue to be a resource for us as our pup grows. You can tell she pours a lot of love into her puppies. We have loved working with Joyce and would recommend her to anyone.

+6We decided while on vacation in Florida to see if there were any Schnauzer breeders near us. (Our first Mini Schnauzer passed away several years ago and we had been waiting for the right time to get another one) Mrs. Joyce popped up with an available puppy that would be ready to go to his forever home when we would be headed back home to Tennessee. Last minute we reached out and Mrs. Joyce was so sweet, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a pleasure meeting with her and we felt that the interaction was seamless. We were at ease. She even gave us a cute little goody bag. You can tell she loves all of her puppies and is truly invested in their well being and who their "fur"ever family will be. We sent her some pics once we completed the trip home. Our Barney is the sweetest boy and we are blessed that we found Mrs. Joyce!!
