    I wanted to take a moment to thank you for such a wonderful experience in getting our mini schnauzer puppy from you. From start to finish, you were communicative, timely, and professional. You always responded promptly to questions, provided helpful information and photos whenever asked, and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Your facility was clean and clearly well cared for, and it was obvious how much love and attention you give your dogs. I also appreciated your follow-up after we brought our puppy home—it really showed your dedication to their well-being. Our puppy is doing great! He’s been checked by our vet and is healthy, happy, and thriving. He has a great personality and temperament—intelligent, curious, and affectionate. Of course, he’s teething, chewing, and nipping a bit, but that’s to be expected. He weighed about three pounds when we picked him up, and after a week he’s already up to four. He’s truly a wonderful addition to our family. We’re so pleased with our experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a healthy, well-raised mini schnauzer. Thank you again for everything. Warm regards, Mark--

    From the moment I reached out to Rick, he was responsive, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and was helpful throughout the entire process. It was clear that he truly cares about his dogs and about setting the families they go to up for success. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and reassuring. Our pup has been very well-tempered, sweet, cuddly, and the best dog we could ever ask for. We love him so much 🖤

    i would absolutely recommend working with Rick to find your new fur-friend! Quick response time, easy to schedule a pick-up time, and you can tell how much he cares for all of his little schnauzers. I love little Matilda and would absolutely go to Rick again if I ever wanted to find her a friend ◡̈ 5 stars.

    I had an amazing experience getting my puppy from Rick. He was incredibly responsive, always answering my questions quickly and thoroughly. He also welcomed me to visit as often as I wanted, which really helped me feel confident and excited about bringing my pup home. What I really appreciated was how much insight he shared on how to raise and care for my puppy—everything from feeding and training tips to health routines. He also took the time to walk me through all the complicated paperwork, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. You can tell he genuinely cares about his dogs and wants them to go to good homes. My puppy is healthy, well-socialized, and so smart. I couldn’t be happier, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and knowledgeable breeder.

    Rick was amazing to work with. He really helped me to fill the void left by the unexpected death of my 14 year old mini, Cinder. Phineas has filled that hole perfectly! I brought Phineas (Finn) home and the whole family loves him. Thanks Rick and socal schnauzers!
