I'm Mary Lou P., the breeder behind Mini Schnauzers 4U located in Parma, ID. Mini Schnauzers are active, intelligent little dogs! We breed our AKC pups for their sweet, loyal temperament, and great composition. Our adult Mini Schnauzers usually weigh between 14-19 lbs. -- the perfect size! They are hypoallergenic, non-shedding loyal companions. We do Early Neurological Stimulation for all pups to develop their temperament and concentration for better trainability. Our pups are sold with rights. Our dogs are family members and live in the house with us.
Q. & A. with Mary Lou
Why did you start breeding?
We love this breed! We got our first Mini Schnauzer over 20 years ago and have only had Mini Schnauzers since. Our dogs have brought us so much love and happiness that we decided to start our own responsible breeding program by producing the highest quality dogs with a playful and loving temperament.
What makes your program special?
We are small breeders having only one or two of litters per year. Our puppies are exposed to a very clean and loving household. We offer a limited health guarantee and veterinary record upon pups going to their new homes. We use the Early Neurological Stimulation by Dr. Carmen L. Battaglia for better trainability and intelligence. Breeders are welcome.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include salt and pepper and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
