Meet the breeder

I'm Rick S., the breeder behind Stratton House Kennels located in Noblesville, IN. At Stratton House Kennel, we are committed to maintaining strong, healthy dogs with excellent temperament, sound structure, and true working ability. We breed only from parents with proven health, champion bloodlines (Venezuelan, Mexican, etc.), and exceptional character.

Q. & A. with Rick

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We began breeding Giant Schnauzers after our own Giant's made such a huge impact on our lives. We have a strong desire to help other families feel the same joy from their own Giant!

  • What makes your program special?

    Our Giants are Family-Raised, Not Kennel-Raised – Our Giant Schnauzers live in our home and are part of our daily family life. They grow up around children, other dogs, and real-world experiences, which helps them develop confidence and adaptability.

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

    Our puppies include black and tan and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I had an excellent experience buying my Giant Schnauzer from Rick. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly cares about his dogs. The take-home package was very informative and covered everything I needed to feel confident bringing my puppy home. You can tell Rick puts a lot of time and effort into raising healthy, well-prepared puppies. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a Giant Schnauzer.

    It was a pleasure working with Rick and his team. From our initial interaction through meeting in person to pick up our puppy, they were consistently informative, attentive, and professional. They made the process of welcoming a new addition to our family easy and seamless. We were kept well informed with frequent updates, including pictures, videos, and guidance on what to expect when bringing our puppy home. We look forward to watching our puppy grow and continuing to work with their kennel in the future. I highly recommend them.
