Meet the breeder

I'm Lauren I., the breeder behind Lauren Ivascu located in Rome, GA. Our program has produced excellent show ring and performance dogs, but we’re equally proud of all the dogs that we’ve placed in loving homes as family companions.

Q. & A. with Lauren

Why did you start breeding?
I actually got into breeding Miniature Schnauzers when my mini passed away; after some time I was ready for another pup and I could not find a breeder near me that fit my expectations. That’s when I decided to start a breeding program so that we could provide happy and healthy pups to good pet owners.
What makes your program special?
The overall care of our pup sets us apart; our home is always open to visitors; we do video update and live video on the puppies frequently so new owners can see how they progress. Transparency is our biggest goal; it eases new owners knowing how their pups are being raised. We also give a lifetime guarantee against genetic disorders.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
