Meet the breeder
I'm Donna I., the breeder behind Schnauzers Of Taylor located in Temple, TX. I put a lot of personal care and attention into every puppy. I try to avoid chemical dewormers or flea control, keep my puppy area clear of any toxic cleaners or lawn products and feed a species appropriate diet of veggies and good food. I use early neurological stimulation and scent introduction to provide a dog with superior mental and emotional stability, same program used by the military and therapy dog organizations. Every puppy is raised around my family, other dogs, and are exposed to multiple environments prior to leaving our home. Parents are AKC registered and health tested. I am a minimal vaccination breeder. My adult dogs only receive titers before vaccines. Mini Schnauzers and Mini Schnoodles are sold as pet homes only unless arrangements and special approval are discussed. Mini Schnoodles will have natural tails and dewclaws. Mini Schnauzers may have tails and dewclaws left if picked and paid in full by day 3 of age. We utilize guardian homes for most of our adult dogs and we have whelpers that help us deliver litters. It takes a village to raise puppies right, love the adults as family and provide the best care possible. We are a very small home Preservationist-Breed Specialist so expect to wait for special request our wonderful puppies!!
Q. & A. with Donna
Why did you start breeding?
My first schnauzer Pepper was such a joy and blessing for me in my teenage years. I don't think I would of survived them without him. Pepper was bought from a pet store and I remember my parents pulling every last penny they had to buy me this $300 dollar puppy. Little did we know how in love we would be with the schnauzer breed after that. Pepper lived to be 16 yrs old.What makes your program special?
We are a Christian family that loves schnauzers. Loves the breed and sleeps with one or more nightly. I started by only breeding for black miniature schnauzers but have added have added beautiful colors recognized by AKC like salt/pepper, livers or a parti. I guarantee every one of my babies. If you haven't got health and a breeder you can count on, it doesn't matter how beautiful or friendly a miniature schnauzer puppy is. Schnauzers can have many genetic conditions that are often un-foreseen. My goal is to produce the best quality, not quantity. A high quality miniature schnauzer is the combination of the steadfast health, the character with right temperament and the look of a schnauzer. Mini Schnoodles were added about 4 years ago for therapy options. Poodles are my next favorite breed, hypoallergenic and so smart. It only makes sense to have a mix of the best family pet breeds. We do not do this alone. We use guardian homes for our girls so they never have to worry about where they will retire to. We also have guardian homes that help us whelp the litters. Litters are raised by our protocols until weaned and then they come to our home. Holding fees are $800. Holding fees are non-refundable but are transferable to another litter. All finial payments are due at 8 weeks.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature Schnauzer puppies include parti, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Schnoodle puppies include parti, gray, black and white, black and tan, black, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Donna takes such good care of her babies and prays about who gets her babies to make sure they go to the right home. My little Bibi was already trained to go on a potty pad tray and is so sweet and playful. Donna loves each puppy and it really shows in how they are so well behaved, sweet and precious. She sends home a blanket with the mommas scent on it along with some other things in the little puppy bag to take home. She is so sweet and encouraging and very supportive. She has great communication and I could not have had a better experience. My daughter and I feel very blessed to have our little Bibi and appreciate how loved and cared for she was at her first momma’s house. Thankyou Donna so much ;)

So thankful I found Schnauzers of Taylor on a search for Schnoodles! After doing my research, I learned that Donna is a stellar breeder whose passion for Schnauzers turns out well-adjusted puppies. I could not be more delighted with my mini-Schnoodle puppy, Pete! He is friendly and so well-socialized.....the care Donna puts into these puppies shows!

Good Dog was a great source which made communication and payments easy. We just LOVE our sweet, handsome, blue-eyed Beau! He is such a perfect addition to our family! Thank you!

+5I can’t say enough wonderful things about Donna with Schnauzers of Taylor! From the very first message, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. She made the entire experience of bringing home my sweet Mr. Bingley so smooth and special. She even allowed me to FaceTime with him before our adoption was finalized — getting to see his little personality and ask questions in real time brought so much peace of mind. Donna went above and beyond to help coordinate a flight nanny, ensuring that Bingley’s journey home was safe and stress-free. It was clear she truly cared about the well-being of her puppies and the families they’re joining. If you’re considering a schnoodle from Schnauzers of Taylor, do not hesitate — Donna is a gem and her pups are absolutely wonderful. Mr. Bingley is the happiest, healthiest little guy, and I’m so grateful to Donna for making our match possible!

It was a pleasure working with Donna at SOT and securing our little girl, Gracie. We've had a Schnoodle in the past and they are wonderful pooches. Gracie is 9 weeks old and into all sorts of mischief. From the moment I hooked up with Donna, she was vigilant on getting back to you asap and sending images of Gracie's journey in her care. She is very knowledgeable about Schnoodles. And as you begin your journey with Donna, you will immediately be aware of how caring and loving a person she is. She does what she does because she loves her dogs!! Thank you Donna for bringing us Gracie and for all you have done for us!! Jeanette & Garrett
