Meet the breeder

I'm Carli J. B., the breeder behind Pups With Potential located in Greenville, OH. Miniature Schnauzers are our passion, and we can't imagine spending our lives without them. We are dedicated to achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and we are always working to further our education so that we can continue to improve our breeding program.

Q. & A. with Carli J.

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding Doberman Pinschers about 20 years ago. They are beautiful and majestic, but can have many health issues if they are not bred properly. I successfully bred many "home security systems" that had excellent health and they were the best "velcro dogs" ever. A couple of years ago, I decided that I would like to try a smaller breed. I was infatuated with Miniature Schnauzers, so I searched high and low to find the softest, silkiest puppies that I could find. They are the perfect pair, who love each other very much, and they have the most beautiful, healthy babies.
  • What makes your program special?

    All of our parents are Embark tested to rule out any genetic defects or anomalies. We only breed to cream of the crop and we socialize the puppies from Day 1. Our puppies are dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped, prior to going to their forever homes, as well.
  • 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.

    Our experience with Carli J was amazing! She was very helpful and kind to work with. She shared many photos and videos updates of the pups daily. We also got to meet the pups before the final purchase. Knowledgeable breeder who definitely care for her babies. This whole experience was 10/10 and we couldn't be happier with our choice in Gooddog and Carli J!

    I was looking for a pup for my son and playmate for my labradoodle. Pups with Potential looked like a good fit for us. They were quick to respond to my messages and gladly answered any questions I had. I could tell my pup came from a loving, well kept, and responsible home and that was important to me. Pups with Potential was excellent , everything went smoothly and I may very well be tempted to get another pup in the future.

    Carli J. was very communicative throughout our time working together. We received regular updates while we waited for our puppy to be ready to come home. It was really fun to watch the videos of all the puppies as they grew in the first 2 months! It was a comfort to see how happy all the dogs in the household were. It was very clear their family really cares about the dogs and the families their puppies find.
