I'm Kim S., the breeder behind Pea Patch Schnauzers located in Carriere, MS. We are committed to having good family pets while keeping true to breed standards. Our dogs socialized with other pets and people. All of the pets in our care receive regular health visits with our vet, are groomed regularly, and are on flea, tick, and heartworm preventive treatments.
Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to get into breeding because we found it difficult in find schnauzers that have an adult weight on the lower end of the 11 to 19 lb range of the breed. When connecting with other owners across the country we noticed that there were others who were looking for this trait as well.
What makes your program special?
Here at Pea Patch Schnauzers we keep all pets and puppies inside our home. Each dog and puppy in our care gets love and attention daily. This way we can closely monitor their health, diet and make sure they get plenty of exercise and play.
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.

Kim's communication was very swift and knowledgeable. A stress free and enjoyable experience in buying the puppy. I was very impressed with how my puppy was trained and socialized even that young. I am very happy with the beautiful new member of our family. I am thankful for pea patch and good dog and would highly recommend both. Thank you
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
