Meet the breeder
I'm Deborah Michelle B., the breeder behind Schnauzer Affinity located in Kannapolis, NC. I strive to produce the highest quality purebred schnauzers available for families to love and enjoy. I offer an excellent 5 year guarantee against congenital issues. I work with families to place the perfect baby for them who is 100% healthy and is the best fit for their family.
Q. & A. with Deborah Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I have been involved, in some capacity, with breeding since I was a teenager. Once I was bitten and smitten by the Schnauzer bug it was inevitable that I'd want to share that love with others at some point. It has been an amazing experience. My forever families and I are always in touch and love to share.What makes your program special?
I do not breed to "sell" puppies. I work with families for months and often years prior to making a decision on placement. We are one big family and discuss everything from pre conception going forward. I work with the puppies from day one to assure they are physically, mentally and emotionally sound. I make sure I send home a healthy, happy, calm puppy ready to bond and start training right away.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, white, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+4I got a miniature schnauzer puppy from Michelle on January 5th of 2025, and it has genuinely been one of the best decisions me and my partner have ever made. We saw Echo, my puppy’s, listing and we immediately felt a connection with her. We messaged Michelle and immediately got a response. It was unfortunate timing since my partner and I were going out of the country together for the holidays for two weeks, but Michelle was gracious enough to hold on to her until we got back! This breeder has the most knowledge about miniature schnauzers that I’ve ever seen, and has been super quick to respond to any sort of questions I’ve been asking—and I’ve been asking a lot! When we picked up Echo, Michelle had put together a whole “going home” kit, this included many toys, a bed, her papers, food, collar, leash, and much more. Michelle isn’t the type of breeder to just produce puppies and never know about them again, she deeply cares for every single one of her pups. Working with Michelle has been such an amazing experience and I’m so grateful to have someone like that in Echo’s life. Thank you!

We brought the miniature schnauzer home and she seemed very relaxed and so happy! Any time we interacted with the puppy she would wag her tail. She ate right away and was letting us know when she needed to potty(sniffing behavior). Very alert always engaging with her people. She has been the easiest miniature schnauzer to work with!

Working with Michelle from selection to gotcha day was a pleasure. She is a super communicator and continues to guide us and all the other littermate’s pup-parents. I wouldn’t expect anything else from someone who truly loves mini schnauzers. We are so happy we found her and our Rory!!

We just got our second puppy from Michelle with Schnauzer Affinity. Her puppies are so intelligent and well behaved. They both are absolutely beautiful. It's obvious that Michelle spends a lot of time with each puppy.
