Michael and Aimee were wonderful to work with! They were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and guided us through every step of the process. We are absolutely obsessed with our little Milo and couldn't be happier. Thank you both for helping us find the perfect addition to our family!

+4Michael + Amiee were so lovely and delightful to work with through the process of getting 2 new puppies. It was our first time learning about Mini Schnauzers, and they were very knowledgeable and helpful from start to finish. When the puppies were ready, they even delivered them to our house. We are so happy with our new fur babies and very thankful for Moonshine's Minis!

KoKo’s First Day Home Meet KoKo. She is the cutest, most rambunctious 1.9 pound of fluff and sharp teeth that I have ever seen. We picked her up from Aimee and Michael Saturday afternoon at a pickup spot. And if you haven’t met Aimee and Michael, you haven’t met the best miniature schnauzer breeders on Good Dog. They really are the best. They began building a relationship with me the second I let them know that I was interested in their program. BUT, I digress…back to KoKo. She is a beautiful, healthy little girl and I think she knows that she owns every room that she enters. Needless to say, we love her as well as our newfound relationship with our awesome Good Dog breeders, Aimee and Michael. They are the go-to breeders for all things “mini-schnauzer”. Very knowledgeable and helpful! Okay! Here are a few photos of KoKo and our 7 yr-old, Kamea. 🌺🥰

Michael and Aimee were a joy to work with. We live in Honolulu, and this was their first experience navigating the red tape required to bring dogs into Hawaii. They were wonderfully patient and efficient throughout the process. They also did an amazing job taking care of the pup, and training and socializing her. Our puppy finally made it to her permanent home here yesterday, she's healthy, utterly fearless, and happy as a schnauzer (who are generally much happier than your average clam . . .) exploring her new digs, and getting to know her new doggie parents. I can't say enough good things about the job Michael and Aimee did with her! Many, MANY thanks, guys!

We had such a great experience with Michael and Aimee of Moonshine Minis. From day one they were very responsive, kind, and accommodating. They sent us picture and video updates often and the whole process was very smooth. We are now a week in with our new family member, Poppy. She is healthy, sweet, well behaved, and SMART! She goes to the back door when she needs to go potty, and is great in her crate, sleeping through the night in most nights. What a great addition to our family. Thank you, Michael and Aimee!
