Meet the breeder
I'm Cindy M., the breeder behind Southern Kentucky Schnauzers located in Woodburn, KY. We are committed to preserving the Miniature Schnauzer breed according to the AKC standard. As a retired veterinary technician of 30+ years and a breeder since 2003, I have considerable experience and knowledge of what it takes to raise healthy, happy puppies and dogs with sound temperaments.
Q. & A. with Cindy
Why did you start breeding?
The veterinarian I worked for owned an AKC male Miniature Schnauzer stud and I bought my first breeding dog through one of his litters. Our family absolutely loves this breed and very much enjoys raising puppies to share with other people!What makes your program special?
We health test all of our breeding dogs and we do not breed anything outside of the AKC standard. We are Miniature Schnauzer preservationist breeders.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include salt and pepper and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 14 Jan •…They have grown so much! And so has their energy level! Too cold, windy and rainy to go outside so a cardboard box and flirt pole rope to entertain them until I can get them set up in the larger exercise pen in my kitchen. Hazel is chewing on the rope. Lily and Oliver are playing with the box. I took off the ID bands for safety reasons.

Litter update on 10 Jan •…Piper loves playing with them! They just think she’s a meal ticket. lol Our neighbor just happened to be shooting a gun that you can hear in the background. That exposure helps to desensitize them to the sound. My dogs are not bothered by it either as you can see.

Cindy was the greatest. We had just lost our dog. Looked on the site and it was everything we wanted. We had gotten our dog from a poet store before and had many problems. Our Lily has been an angel. She was already potty trained on papers. She has the sweetest disposition. Cindy raised our puppy around all her grandkids and she was was very gentle with our grandkids.. She sent videos every week and then met us halfway to pick her up.. She answered all our questions. It was a great experience. We love her. Suzy Castrodale

Working with Cindy was wonderful. She met us in Shephersville so we didn't have to drive all the way to her home. Would definitely buy another puppy from her.

Everything about the Good Dog process was unbelievably easy. From the app to the breeder herself. I feel like I hit the puppy lottery. The moment I brought our puppy home I could tell the time and effort that was put in to set puppy up for success. Cindy answered all questions in very reasonable time frame. Puppy updates came often. Cindy even took the time to think ahead of what would help the puppy with the transition. For example sent puppy home with blanket of mom’s scent, toy with mom’s scent, puppy’s current favorite treats. Those items were extremely helpful!

+4Cindy was wonderful through the whole process, she shared videos and photos of my little girl and met me half way for pick up. My Sofie Grace is the perfect puppy for me and my husband. She has been very easy to train and I can tell she has been brought up by a wonderful family.
