I'm Debbie M., the breeder behind Melton's Mini Schnauzers located in Biggs, CA. We believe that pets are not just animals but are truly part of the family. My goal is to add an additional family member to any buyers' home. To share the joy that a new puppy brings to others. My puppies are loved from the moment they are born.
Q. & A. with Debbie
Why did you start breeding?
We use to breed many years ago. My last schnauzer died 4 years ago. When she was young we had several litters from her and I enjoyed knowing they went to good homes. My newest dog is now 2 and had her first litter. It's such a joy watching these puppies grow.
What makes your program special?
I don't really feel its a program because I will not be doing this long term. I'm not in this to make a lot of money and I don't want to put my little girl through this long term like some breeders. I honestly just enjoy seeing the puppies and watching my girl be such a good mother.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Miniature Schnauzer
About Bert
Bert has brought so much life to our family. He is a spunky boy. He thinks he is a Saint Bernard. He likes to play with bigger dogs. He doesn't know his size limitations. He loves to play fetch. He retrieves as well as any Labrador. He quickly found his spot on our bed at night. He was quite the gentleman when Edie had her puppies. He did his part in sitting with the puppies when mommy was tired.

About Edie
Edie is such a sweet girl. She is very playful when she wants to be. Most of the time she just wants to lie in our laps. She is not aggressive at all. She is very happy to see anyone that comes to visit. She is almost 3 and this is her first litter. She is a very good mom. She loves to be at the center of attention. She is a very affectionate dog.
