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.

    Deborah Michelle was very responsive and enthusiastic. It was apparent from our first communication till I picked up my puppy and now continues, how professional and caring Deborah is. She worked so well with me. Also apparent is her concern for her pups and those of us fortunate enough through Good Dog to find such passion, compassion, and genuine care for the entire process. I would tell everyone looking to make a mini schnauzer a part of there family Good Dog is the place to search. If you want pups that are available and are a testament to quality breeding and care, Deborah Michelle is the right breeder to get your pup from. I highly recommend the Good Dog sight and definitely Deborah Michelle, who is an exceptional breeder. Deborah just loves the schnauzer breed and it is evident from the initial connection. Thank you Deborah Michelle and Good Dog, my new girl "Mallow" is a gem and I could not be more blessed.

    We loved working with Michelle! It’s so clear that she adores Schnauzers and takes wonderful care of her dogs. Our little Freddy is doing great.

    Deborah Michelle is a phenomenal breeder. From the first time I reached out, she was very responsive and super kind. What convinced me to work with her was the fact that she wanted to know where the puppy was going to live, what kind of family was going to adopt him, and whether we had previous experience with Mini Schnauzers (which we did). She gave us many gifts when we picked him up: a bed, blanket, toys, and even a beautiful little hat because it was the 4th of July. Now, my angel LUKA is the most beautiful puppy, and once we got him, I knew how loved and cared for he was. He is very calm, social, and has been sleeping all night since day one. I told Michelle I wouldn’t get a dog from anyone else in the future. Highly recommended — Michelle is the BEST!

    D Michelle was a pleasure to work with. She loves raising these fur babies and it shows in their personality. My little fella is Rip ‘Dutton” Taylor. Dutton is absolutely precious and fits in just perfectly. My dog - Lucy, cat - Hillary think he’s their baby. He has such a sweet personality. He’s very quiet for the most part and would never know he was a new fur baby. He loves to play and run with Lucy and she him. He is absolutely sweet as a button. Loves riding and went to his 1st birthday party yesterday for my granddaughter and did awesome. He is a very loving and spunky little fella and loves to snuggle. I am very pleased! I would recommend Michelle for your next puppy. She stays in contact with you and doesn’t mind your questions or concerns. She shares photos and videos as a bonus. I love him bunches

    Michelle couldn’t be more wonderful. Right from the start she was always available to answer any questions and sent us home with lots of helpful things to get us started. We received so many fun updates about our puppy long the way. It was a real gift to watch her first weeks and see her personality develop before we even met her. Our Murphy girl has been calm, lovable, and so easy to teach from day one which I really think is a testament to the way Michelle raises these puppies. Wouldn’t get a puppy from anywhere else after this experience. Thanks for our Murphy!!

    Ms. Michelle is FANTASTIC. She answered any and all questions we had, and still does so to this day. She is very knowledgeable, and you can tell immediately she cares deeply about her schnauzers. Our Snowden is the most friendly, happy, and laid back boy and we are lucky to have him!
