Why did you start breeding?
We want to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program places an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation. Our dogs are outgoing and confident and we like to see these qualities passed on to our puppies. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What makes your program special?
We want to create a positive and pleasant experience for both the puppy and future owner. We are passionate about Black Russian Terriers and Miniature Schnauzers and have built that love and respect for the breed into every aspect of our program. Our puppies leave our home happy and healthy and we are looking forward to connecting you with your pup!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
