Q. & A. with Taunya
Why did you start breeding?
My family and myself have been around dogs all our lives. About 20 years ago we brought a miniature Schnauzer into our lives and have been in love ever since. We started breeding about 5 years ago.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are kept in our home and sleep with us and are very loved. They are like our children. They are small but we raise them to be mighty. Some of our fur babies also participate in AKC programs such as FastCat, Cat, Behavioral, and Barn Hunts and hold several titles in these.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include parti, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I had a great experience with Taunya in purchasing my puppy. She was a great breeder to work with. There was no hiccups and she delivered Leah to me in the time we both agreed on. I would purchase from her again. Thank you!
