I'm Ila J., the breeder behind Silver Bells Miniature Schnauzers located in Port Orchard, WA. We love this breed and the experience of having litters! Our mission is to raise pups that are set to become the best companions. We care so much about each of our dogs and make sure to find our puppies the perfect families and individuals with lifestyles that will complement this amazing breed.
Q. & A. with Ila
Why did you start breeding?
We looked for the MS breed puppies and fell in with a family we were involved within soccer. They asked us to foster-adopt one and it made us decide to purchase one for us to breed and raise our own.
What makes your program special?
We have many years of experience in dealing with animals, children and the public. We look forward to learning even more.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Ila was so kind and she responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had about my pup. I still share pictures and updates with her
My sweet Indie has been home for about 3 months, and is now 5 months old. I can’t imagine my life without her. I would definitely come back to Ila in the future if I decided to get another pup

Working with Ila was a great experience. She was very responsive and clearly did an excellent job training our Hegel. I cannot recommend her enough for those who might be looking to add a minischnauzer to their family.
