Stadtler Miniature Schnauzers

Daphne Y.

Breeder of Miniature Schnauzers

Meet the breeder

I'm Daphne Y., the breeder behind Stadtler Miniature Schnauzers located in Monroe, VA. I am exceptionally careful with the genetics and health of the breed. We only sell Show and Pet quality puppies. We breed according to the standards set for the breed by the American Miniature Schnauzer Club, the parent club for the breed within the American Kennel Club. Even a pet quality puppy looks like it could be a show dog to the untrained eye.

Q. & A. with Daphne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have had them since 2 days before my 11th birthday, I am now 50. I got my foundation bitch in 1991. I always told her I would get her a puppy of her own. I ended up keeping her daughter. I got my first champion out of her daughter. I fell in love from there.
  • What makes your program special?

    How careful I am at avoiding genetic disease and how I care about doing genetic testing. I will not breed to the #1 dog just because he is the #1 dog. In 30 years I have been blessed as to not have produced a genetic issue, although I am not stupid, it can happen. Our dogs have been fully tested for 7 different genetic disorders. PRA B Wild Type; MAC; Myotonia Congenita; Type B1 PRA HIVEP3; Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy; Comma Defect and PMDS
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and silver and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

“All of our pet prices are the same for natural ears. Cropped ears are slightly more. Show prices for females are sold at pet cropped plus a pick back (must agree to dog & pedigree) or outright for a set price. Males are sold outright for show. We DO NOT sell breeding quality, pet and show ONLY. Deposits are $500 from between day 1 until puppies are 6 weeks old, at which time 50% of total price is due. Remaining balance is due the day you take home your puppy.”
