Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon J., the breeder behind Shannon Johnson located in Ft. Liberty, NC. Our dogs are bred with the wonderful qualities families love in a companion—intelligence, affection, loyalty, and a willingness to please! We absolutely adore Miniature Schnauzers and Miniature Poodles, and we especially love the wonderful qualities these two breeds bring together in our Schnoodles. We love our dogs dearly and can’t wait to share the joy they bring with your family! We are passionate breeders dedicated to responsible breeding practices and providing our puppies with the best care from the very beginning. We do everything we can to raise happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies and to help each one find a loving, carefully chosen forever home.

Q. & A. with Shannon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our love for breeding began in 2014 when we brought home our first Miniature Poodle, Jack. He was truly the best dog in the world, and from the moment I met him, I knew I wanted more dogs with his wonderful qualities. Since then, I have spent countless hours researching ethical and responsible breeding, and I’m committed to raising quality puppies and placing them in loving, carefully chosen homes.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised right alongside our family, receiving lots of love and individual attention from the moment they are born. They are handled daily and introduced early to our children, other animals, and the normal sights, sounds, and experiences of everyday family life. We prioritize early socialization and strive to give every puppy the best possible foundation, surrounded by love and affection from day one.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Schnoodle puppies are sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Shannon

Shannon has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Shannon partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“We take great care in making sure each puppy is placed in a loving, responsible home. We screen families to ensure they can provide a safe, nurturing environment and are committed to the puppy’s lifelong care, including proper nutrition, veterinary care, training, and plenty of love and attention. Our puppies should never end up in a shelter. If circumstances ever change and a family can no longer keep their dog, we ask that they contact us. We will help them find an appropriate new home and make sure the dog is safely and responsibly rehomed.”
