Meet the breeder

I'm Carol A., the breeder behind Little River Puppies located in Floyd, VA. Miniature Schnauzers are our passion, and we can't imagine spending our lives without them. We are dedicated towards achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and we love to raise puppies and prepare them for their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Carol

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been a dog person ever since I was a small child. They are an integral part of my life, my love, seven days and nights a week. I enjoy and love them greatly and adore raising beautiful, precious, wonderful little puppies, who will be someone’s best friend and an integral part of a loving and happy home and family. I adore hearing from them and seeing pics, vids and stories regularly!
  • What makes your program special?

    I am proud and thankful to say that my breeding program is special in a multitude of ways! All of my dogs, parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents are 100% a part of my family. They of course, all reside with us in our home and are as much a part of the family as any of the rest of us. They are adored and loved on, have the best of foods, toys, treats, veterinary care etc. They are loved like crazy and each one of them are put before my own needs every day. Everyone is and has been happy, healthy, strong, absolutely stunning, determined AKC miniature schnauzers. Our lines are free from anything but the very healthiest of dogs. No genetic issues or otherwise are in these several generations that I have raised and are an every day part of my family. I know each one of them intimately and their traits, personalities, temperament, etc., and they are loved and adored and cared for beyond words each one individually for each ones needs and likes and dislikes, etc. These little ones are cooked for every single day to ensure that they have balanced and healthy nutrition, and to cater to each individuals likes, needs etc. Their puppies, of course, are born right into our hands and are monitored tended to around the clock to ensure health, safety, socialization, and so forth and again tending to each little ones’ individual needs. I offer a lifetime of support as well as genetic and health warranties. All of my babies go home to their new families, having been exposed to all the goings on of a busy normal household, as well as children, other dogs, and so forth. They of course, will go home with their Veterinarian exams, first round of vaccines, food, toys, gift bags, AKC paperwork, health, records, and more. I look very forward to happily helping each one of you in and your search for your wonderful and precious newest family member. Carol
