What makes your program special?
We are enthusiastic about our program and look forward to advancing the wonderful qualities of the Miniature Schnauzer with a focus on health, temperament, and appearance! Our love for our dogs is reflected in the personal touches we put into making sure the addition of your new puppy is a truly joyful experience. We health test each puppy and provide a breed-specific health guarantee, quality Vet care, perform the world-renowned ENS and ESI exercises for advanced brain development, we litterbox train our pups, begin crate training, and provide a complimentary pre-paid lifetime Baxter & Bella training membership for each of our pups. Our puppies are sold as pets only with no rights to breed. With this in mind, we offer a $50.00 rebate upon proof of spay/neuter of our pups at the appropriate age.

Getting a puppy from Megan
Megan has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,000 - $3,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“Pricing is dependent on coat and eye color. We set prices at 6 weeks of puppy’s age and do puppy picks then. We always reserve the right to keep the pick of the litter for ourselves. Puppies are secured on a first-come, first-serve basis. Our program also reserves the right to respectfully decline an application or cancel a sale by our own discretion at any time during the sales process. If we make the decision to cancel a sale for any reason, on our own merit, then we will refund the reservation fee. The remainder of the purchase price balance is due in cash when we meet in person to transfer possession of the puppy. Alternatively, it can be made 14 days prior to delivery using the Good Dog payment method. We do not accept any other payment options or payment apps. By paying a reservation fee on a puppy, you are securing that puppy and agreeing to the health guarantee and to our purchase agreement. Please be sure you review both policies and have a clear understanding before we move forward. We do not refund reservation fees if a buyer changes their mind. We also will not hold a puppy at any time during the application process without a reservation fee applied to the purchase price. These reservation fees must be made using the Good Dog platform. No other payment methods or payment apps are accepted for reservation fees.”
Contract & health guarantee
Megan may provide a written contract or
health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps
protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you
both have a clear understanding of the terms of your
puppy purchase. If Megan offers a contract
or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them.
If you have any questions or want to know more,
don’t hesitate to reach out to Megan directly.
