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.

Parent dogs
Phoenix, mom
Giant Schnauzer
About Phoenix
Phoenix is a tightly wound spring of athleticism and focus an 80-pound Giant Schnauzer with serious drive balanced by an exceptional off switch. She is highly intelligent, prey driven, and deeply eager to please, yet remarkably affectionate and gentle in the home. Phoenix is the kind of dog who is equally content running trails, hiking mountains, cycling alongside her handler, or quietly sitting and watching the world settle at sunset. Her working instincts are unmistakable alert, responsive, and purposeful but her temperament is what sets her apart. She bonds deeply, thrives on structure, and carries one of the most balanced temperaments I’ve seen in a long time. Phoenix represents exactly what we strive for at Stratton House Kennels drive without chaos, intelligence without sharpness, and strength paired with loyalty and heart.

This girl exemplifies the breed’s hallmark qualities — courage, loyalty, and intelligence — making her a truly exceptional dam for our program.

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.
