Meet the breeder
I'm Kate M., the breeder behind Kinobi Standard Schnauzers located in Etna, ME. My love of dogs began 50 years ago with a Miniature Poodle puppy, Samantha. I've had many dogs through my life, both purebred and mixed breeds, including many shelter rescues. Once I found the Standard Schnauzer something clicked and I've had at least one Standard in my home for almost 20 years!
Q. & A. with Kate
Why did you start breeding?
I never intended on breeding, but when I couldn't find the type of dog I wanted, another breeder told me to breed for what I wanted. I bred my first litter as the pandemic began in March of 2020, and we welcomed six puppies in May 2020. There were many challenges in raising a pandemic litter - socialization being the biggest. With the help of local breeders we made it through and found creative solutions.What makes your program special?
The SSCA recommends 3 areas of testing for our breed: DCM, hip dysplasia and eyes. We also do elbows. All results are available at OFA.org under the dog's registered name. Names are provided upon request. *At this time we only breed DCM negative dogs - we do not utilize DCM carriers in our breeding program.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are pepper and salt. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
