I'm Jill L., the breeder behind Shadow River Schnauzers located in Magna, UT. Our dogs are bred to have top qualities that all families want in their puppies, such as compassion, patience, and love! I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs. Being owned by a Mini Schnauzer is a wonderful experience, and it would be my honor to connect you with the perfect new addition to your family.
I practice ENS as recommended by the AKC and love the results that I see with the babies.
Q. & A. with Jill
Why did you start breeding?
When my black mama girl went into heat after researching for the best candidate for her I realized that most all of the options available to breed her with would not ensure a clean healthy line, so I went looking for a male with lines that are outside of her lines, working with my Vets I have worked to create a healthy new option for my area.
What makes your program special?
I love the breed and want to make sure that others can experience the same love and totally beautiful faithful companions that share my home and my life. My fur kids come from lines outside of Utah so they are healthy and happy. I have a variety of coats both soft short wire, medium length soft wire and dense mega coat in my dogs
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
