Miniature Schnauzer
About Katie
Katie is the happiest dog! Her tail wags so often that we call her "Katie Wigglebutt". She loves attention and she will gravitate towards anyone dishing out head pats and scratches. She has two modes: full play and snuggle. She's quite intelligent and has the sweetest personality.

Karyn was a joy to work with. You can tell she loves her schnauzer babies. Teddy is such a sweet puppy. He is so smart and lovable. Karyn kept in contact with us. She sent regular updates on how my puppy was doing. She sent pictures and video to us so we could would know how he was doing while he was growing and getting ready to come home. I would definitely recommend getting a puppy from Karyn. I do want to get another puppy in a few months so that Teddy will have a playmate. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for a puppy. If you a looking for your new best friend, get in contact with Karyn.

Karyn was absolutely amazing to work with! She kept me updated every step of the way about my sweet Cora, always quick to share updates and answer any questions I had. When it was time to pick up our schnauzer, she provided everything we needed and it was so clear that Cora had been truly loved and cared for. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will most likely be getting a second pup from her in the future!

If you are ready to get a Schnauzer, I would definitely recommend Karyn. During the waiting period, Karyn provided pictures of Mo and answered our questions promptly. Mo has adjusted to us and our two other Schnauzers very well. It is obvious Karyn is a top Schnauzer breeder. Thank Karyn for giving our Mo a great start.

Karyn was very accommodating and easy to work with, coordinating the pick up of my new best friend. This puppy is absolutely perfect. Healthy, happy and she settled in so easily that it’s clear she was loved on from the beginning. I couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend!!!
