Meet the breeder

I'm Viola R., the breeder behind Southern Sky Miniature Schnauzers located in Sylvania, GA. Our dogs are bred to have top qualities that all families want in their puppies, such as compassion, patience, and love! Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since! We strive to let everyone have an opportunity to experience the love of these schnauzers with a pay as you wait option. At no extra charge❤️ By 8 weeks old babies are totally doggie door trained to go out to potty and are completely ready to transition to new families ❤️.

Q. & A. with Viola

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We just fell in love with these intelligent spunky sweethearts and they brought us so much joy we decided we wanted to share that joy with other families. Our lives are surrounded by these beautiful intelligent schnauzers. There is absolutely nothing better than the daily love we receive from them. Best decision I’ve ever made with these lovable dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    The time, care and love for these babies start before they are even born. They are each one delivered in my hands and are pampered with love and care until the day they go to new families. We follow veterinary vaccination and deworming protocols to insure healthy pups. By 8 weeks pups are totally doggie door trained to go out to potty! All are AKC LIMITED REGISTRABLE. No breeding rights are sold.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten, white, 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.

    This was such an amazing experience. Viola was so easy to work with and very responsive. She kept in touch with me sending me pictures and updates. We met her at the Savannah airport and she was already there waiting when we landed. Charlie (Apollo) is the sweetest puppy. He adjusted so well and is healthy and happy. I could not have asked for a better breeder. I will be recommending Viola to anyone looking for a new puppy.

    Absolutely thrilled with our experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with our decision to get our miniature schnauzer from Viola and Southern Sky Miniature Schnauzers. From the very first inquiry to the day we brought our baby home, the communication, professionalism, and care were exceptional. The breeder is clearly passionate about the breed and goes above and beyond to ensure each puppy is healthy, well-socialized, and ready for a loving home. Maverick came to us confident, playful, and already familiar with basic commands and crate training—an absolute dream! We also appreciated the health guarantees, detailed vet records, and thoughtful puppy starter kit. If you’re looking for a reputable, ethical miniature schnauzer breeder who truly loves what they do, look no further. We are over the moon with our new family member and incredibly grateful for such a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Southern Sky and will look nowhere else for our next baby!

    Hi Viola - Sophie (Valentine) has settled in nicely. She is super playful. She loves riding in the car and playing with our daughter's Rigdeback mix. At her first appointment, our veterinarian said she was in excellent health. We wanted to thank you for such an easy adoption experience. We really appreciated having the ability to Face Time with you to give us time to pick her out of the available litter. We will send more pictures soon. Thank you! Ken & Karen
