Meet the breeder
I'm Megan A., the breeder behind Laurel Crown Schnauzers located in Flint, TX. Laurel Crown Schnauzers takes a holistic approach to raising and parenting our Miniature Schnauzers. Every effort is put into health and puppy curriculum to ensure that our dogs and puppies have all the resources needed to thrive to their full potential. As a small home-based breeding program, quality bloodlines, a well-balanced temperament, and health are our top priorities. Our dogs are treated like family members. They ARE family members - I call them my “kids.” My dogs and puppies are very spoiled and are given endless amounts of love & affection. They do not live or sleep in concrete kennels or in a separate facility, they live in our home and sometimes sleep in our beds. Our puppies are raised in our in-home puppy nursery next to the master bedroom with surveillance cameras and baby monitors, or they are in the master bedroom with me and are raised right next to me and where I sleep. The are with me around the clock for at least the first full week of life, sometimes longer. They are given 24/7 care and attention, and though it can be a lot of work and truly stressful, I love every minute of it.
Q. & A. with Megan
Why did you start breeding?
After owning Miniature Schnauzers as cherished family pets for over two decades and closely following respected breeding programs, my passion naturally grew into a desire to raise them myself. I became deeply committed to learning every aspect of animal husbandry and the Miniature Schnauzer breed — from thoughtful pairing and genetics to proper prenatal care and the specialized needs of newborn puppies. I spent several years studying, planning, and preparing before ever producing a litter. Responsible breeding is a significant investment of time, resources, and heart, and I wanted to be absolutely certain I was prepared to do it the right way. I made a deliberate decision to never cut corners. Every step was taken with care to ensure the best possible foundation for these innocent lives before welcoming them into the world. I am fortunate to have several trusted mentors, most notably a dear friend from whom I have purchased dogs over the years. Through serving as a guardian home and a whelper-helper, I gained invaluable hands-on experience under the guidance of a seasoned breeder. Having knowledgeable mentorship and a strong support system is essential — much like having a midwife, but for animals. Providing exceptional companion dogs to families who value and appreciate them as deeply as I do has been incredibly rewarding. Becoming a hobby breeder has also connected me with wonderful people across the country and even abroad, many of whom have become treasured friends. My goal is not only to produce beautiful, healthy puppies, but also to lead by example by promoting ethical, responsible breeding practices. Through this commitment, I hope to contribute to the continued strength, integrity, and future of the Miniature Schnauzer breed for generations to come.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 and provide a breed-specific health guarantee, we travel to provide the best quality Vet care, even consulting specialists when necessary. We pride ourselves on performing world-renowned ENS and ESI exercises for advanced brain development, we litterbox train our pups, begin crate training, and we pride ourselves on providing general support to our puppy parents for LIFE. We have a return policy of “no questions asked, we will take our puppies back” at any time during their lifetime if the unforeseen happens. We have made a lifetime commitment to these companion animals. 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 by a licensed Vet.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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
"Disclaimer: We always reserve the right to keep the pick of the litter for ourselves and will set pricing when we have been able to fully evaluate a puppy. Pricing: Pricing is dependent on coat and eye color. Prices are reviewed and set at 4-5 weeks of puppy’s age. This is when we are able to form our best opinions on colors and traits. It also allows us time to make sure there are no issues or differences with a puppy that we need to be aware of. Puppies are secured on a first-come, first-serve basis with an approved application and holding fee. A puppy is not reserved until the application has been approved, we have talked (by video chat preferably) to discuss the placement, and the holding fee is paid in full. Deposits or holding fees are *nonrefundable* —however, we are more than happy to transfer it to a future litter/puppy if a buyer changes their mind or “life happens” and it is deemed not a good time to bring a new puppy into your home. 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, less the holding fee, is due when we meet in person to transfer possession of the puppy. We do not accept any other payment options or payment apps other than Good Dog and Klarna. By paying a reservation or holding 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 or holding fees if a buyer makes a hasty decision and changes their mind. We also will not hold a puppy at any time during the application process without this fee applied to the purchase price. Again, we work on a first-come, first-serve basis. All fees must be made using the Good Dog platform. No other payment methods or payment apps are accepted for payment."

Parent dogs
Emilia, mom
Miniature Schnauzer
About Emilia
Emilia is a female Miniature Schnauzer. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Megan decided to make her part of their program. Megan has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Bliss, mom
Miniature Schnauzer
About Bliss
Bliss is a gentle-natured, extremely sweet girl who loves children and other animals. She has been a wonderful mother to her first litter of puppies. I could not be more proud of her. Her beautiful hazel eyes and her thick Wheaton mega-coat make her an absolute head-turner and conversation starter. Bliss’ puppies are just as striking and maybe even more adorable in temperament.
