Meet the breeder

I'm Ana W., the breeder behind Silver Paw Ranch located in Houston, TX. At Silver Paw Ranch in Texas, our dogs are raised in a warm, loving home — not in outdoor kennels. We interact with them daily, ensuring every puppy is well-socialized, confident, and truly part of our family from day one.

Q. & A. with Ana

Why did you start breeding?
Our journey began when my husband shared how much he missed his beloved Schnauzer, Daisy. We soon brought home our first pup, Rosie—sadly, we lost her four days later. She was sick, and we later learned she came from a puppy mill. It was devastating, but eye-opening. A year later, we found our girl through family and gave her the middle name Rosie in memory of the one we lost. I’ve grown to love this breed—they're smart, loyal, and full of personality. I believe everyone should experience the joy of owning one of these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
Our goal is simple: raise happy, healthy, and well-loved Miniature Schnauzers in a family environment. Our puppies are raised in our home, surrounded by love, laughter, and the everyday rhythm of family life. They’re part of the family until they become part of yours. Thank you for considering one of our pups. We’re honored to be part of your journey in finding your next best friend.
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.
