Q. & A. with Marjorie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved animals from a young age, thus having many pets over the years. When I married and had children, I wanted them to have the same loving bond with animals that my parents had fostered in me. I wanted my children to experience the joy of life through the birth of puppies and from that first litter I was hooked. I have always been a hobby breeder of either dogs or cats. In the nineties, I bred Persian Himalayan cats for eleven years, with a litter of puppies here and there. I love the challenge of breeding intelligent, athletic, fine temperament, and healthy dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. When I bring a life into the world, I make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, intelligence, and beauty. My goal is to choose parents whose genes will bring out the best qualities in each other and produce well-balanced puppies. If you are looking for the perfect, quality companion, look no further!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Review of Lancelot (aka Rocky)A brief history of myself: I have raised, adopted, and fostered at least 14 dogs through the years. I've taken professional K-9 training courses and worked on joint tasks with the SPCA police. I won't tell you why you should or shouldn't adopt a Miniature Schnauzer. If you are already on this page, chances are you've already done your research .So, why did I choose Marjorie and her breed?She's been doing this a long time! Experience in this industry is everything—and I mean everything. If a breeder has less than 10 years of experience, in my opinion, keep looking.The Schnauzer I received from Marjorie is smart. Of the 14 various dogs I've cared for, he is definitely in the top tier for intelligence at 6 months old. We had him almost fully house-trained within a month with only a handful of accidents. With my background in K-9 training, I closely watch a puppy's temperament. Rocky arrived confident, well-socialized, and completely unfazed by new environments—a clear sign of excellent early-life care and socializtion. The two major hurdles you are probably facing right now are initial cost and transportation costs. Long term, you are likely to save more money on vet bills by buying a puppy from a reputable breeder with a strong genetic bloodline. Marjorie was able to secure excellent transportation for my puppy a week before Christmas from Kentucky to Philly for only $250. I was getting quotes online for three times that price! Don't take a gamble on a backyard breeder just because they are local; do it the right way! You won't regret it!

    Marjorie is the most caring and knowledgeable breeder I could have ever found. I prayed so hard to find the right breeder for my new puppy and her name popped up on Good Dog right away!! She responded immediately and i fell in love with one of her brand new mini schnauzers from her pictures. "Eboni" was the pup I chose. Her new name is Skylar because her beautiful blue eyes are so stunning. Marjorie communicated Skylar's progress while she was being raised and cared for in Marjorie's loving home. The process could not have been easier and I know I have the healthiest and most adorable puppy ever!! Marjorie met me at a central location and brought everything a new dog mom could need to nurture and raise my puppy. We still correspond and she is so helpful even after the sale. It is so apparent how much she loves this mission of getting ideal homes for her "babies". I could never have had a more wonderful experience and my puppy is just priceless!! Trisha Bearden
