Meet the breeder

I'm SOB R., the breeder behind Schnauzers of Blue Ridge located in Spruce Pine, NC. For over twenty years, we have established a solid reputation for producing puppies that are healthy, well-tempered, and well-socialized, successfully placing them in loving homes throughout the United States. Currently, we have three mothers and typically produce three litters each year.

Q. & A. with SOB

  • Why did you start breeding?

    What initially started as a simple hobby has evolved into a profound passion, making these delightful dogs an integral part of our lives. The joy and companionship they bring have not only enriched our daily experiences but have also motivated us to share the love and unique qualities of this wonderful breed with other families.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program stands out due to our unwavering commitment to producing puppies that are not only healthy but also exceptionally well-socialized. We understand that a puppy's early experiences play a crucial role in shaping its temperament and behavior, which is why we invest significant time and effort into their socialization from a young age.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include parti, liver, black and silver, salt and pepper, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
