I'm Vicki K., the breeder behind Riversong Miniature Schnauzers located in Endicott, NY. As a member and officer of the American Miniature Schnauzer Club, it is vitally important to breed to our standard to perpetuate the breed we love! My puppies are hand-raised, socialized, and are offered early stimulation to ensure they are well adjusted. My puppies are bred from health-tested AKC Champion parents.
Q. & A. with Vicki
Why did you start breeding?
I am diligent in everything I do regarding my dogs, including careful selection of breeding dogs and health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments and conformation that are always exemplary representations of my breed.
What makes your program special?
My puppies are born and raised in my home, providing them the ideal setting they need to grow and become social affectionate dogs. I believe that if you commit to producing dogs of sound structure and take care of their minds and bodies, your pups will grow up to be happy, healthy, and beautiful. I am proud to raise these wonderful dogs and always commit to maintaining the highest quality standards for my program.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
