I'm Kaye K., the breeder behind OKaye Minis located in Oklahoma City, OK. I breed Miniature Schnauzers for conformation and sport. I am passionate for creating excellent examples of the breed that will excel as companions and sport dogs. I have owned the breed for over 30 years and have been fortunate to learn from amazing mentors within the breed.
Q. & A. with Kaye
Why did you start breeding?
I love the breed and decided that I wanted to help promote it by breeding good examples of the breed. I did my research and waited and watched and tried to learn from those who have gone before me. I am fortunate to have several friends who have been in the breed for many years.
What makes your program special?
I am trying to breed for “brains and beauty”. My first litter of five all went to homes that are showing them in conformation and/or performance sports. They are two and three have their breed championships and other titles as well. The others are working on it.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
