I'm Michael S., the breeder behind Reservoir Dogs located in Pensacola, FL. Our dogs are raised as family pets with an emphasis on great health, good manners, and an all-around good disposition. We are big believers in both Prenatal & Postnatal Vitamins, as they have proven themselves in the overall health of the dam during the entire process. Reservoir Dogs takes great pride in providing families with happy, healthy family pets.
Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
I bred Chow-Chows back in the early 1980s. Just started back up in the past few years after raising my first two mini schnauzers. Now with Schnauzers 3, 4, and 5 in my life I started to breed again.
What makes your program special?
All of my Mini Schnauzers have the "bb" recessive gene. We raise the litters as they were members our family until they are prepared and ready to be part of yours. The dam is given both prenatal & postnatal vitamins to ensure the best possible outcome throughout the entire process.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Malla, mom
Miniature Schnauzer
About Malla
Malla was my 2021 Christmas miracle. There was a big hole in my heart and she was just right for the soul. Because her ears stand up naturally, we started to call her "Radar" until the Vet corrected us and said my "Prince" was actually a "Princess", but that's another story! She learned all the ropes from Queen BB on how to interact with us humans, from cuddling & snuggling to being the center of attention, and loved on by both family & friends. Once Malla passed the "Raptor" stage she settled down to be one of best companions one could ask for!
Kenobi, dad
Miniature Schnauzer
About Kenobi
Kenobi is a sweet, gentle boy! He has brought such balance to our Pack. He loves the outdoors so much, you have to watch he doesn't over do it in our hot Florida sun, with his almost translucent white coat. He was our "Lil Meerkat" when a puppy because he would always stand up on his hind legs all the time. While he adores a good belly rub sharing the couch with you, he spends most of his time with the other "Pea" in the pod; Leia. He & she are only six weeks apart, and have been raised together since he was acquired at twelve weeks.

Kyle R.
Verified owner · Sept. 2025
Michael was very good to work with. We had never adopted a Miniature Schnauzer before but Michael was a wealth of information and very patiently answered all my questions. Michael sent us many pictures of our puppy with his mother and father and siblings. They were all very well cared for.
Ultimately we adopted Monty, who was 10 weeks old when we brought him home. He has been a joy, and is a beautiful healthy dog who fits in wonderfully in our home. Michael also helped us be driving halfway between his Florida home and our home in Georgia to facilitate our puppy pick up. I recommend Michael as a knowledgeable, responsible, caring, and helpful breeder.
