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.

    Rick was great to work with. He drove Mansa to us and gave us all the tips and advice. He loves his puppies and cares where they go and what they call home. That matters. Mansa, was a huge change to us and I think without Rick and his knowledge and kindness we would have been winging it with our knowledge of having such a huge snuggle buddy who thinks he’s 10lbs but actually 30! Mansa has changed our lives for the best.

    Rick is truly an amazing person and breeder! From the moment I joined Good Dog and began searching for the perfect breeder, Rick immediately stood out to me. It was clear how passionate and dedicated he is to his Giant Schnauzers. Throughout the entire process, Rick was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and patient. He answered every question I had and made me feel completely comfortable and confident about bringing home my puppy. You can truly tell how much he cares about his dogs and the puppies he raises. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a Giant Schnauzer. You will not be disappointed with the care, support, and dedication he provides. Thank you, Rick, for making this such an amazing experience! 🐾🐶

    What I can tell you Is that there are no better People to work with. Their dogs are their lives, nothing less. This is my fourth puppy in my life and you can easily tell the level of care at pickup. My Milli clearly loved them. She has an INCREDIBLE temperament for an 8 week old puppy. She was so well taken care of and you can tell by how clean and confident she was immediately. I consider them family. Incredible, quick communication throughout the whole process. I WILL continue to stay in touch with them and hope to be a repeat customer in the future.

    We could not have asked for a better experience working with Rick and his family. From the very beginning, Rick was phenomenal, communicative, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He truly provided a white-glove experience and made bringing Oscar home seamless and exciting. Oscar has been even better than we could have expected. He is an incredible puppy, and it’s clear how much care, attention, and love went into raising him before he came home to us. Rick stayed in communication throughout the process, answered our questions, kept us updated, and made us feel completely confident in choosing him as our breeder. We couldn’t have asked for a better breeder, a better experience, or a better outcome. We are incredibly grateful to Rick and his family for bringing Oscar into our lives and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional Giant Schnauzer and an equally exceptional breeder.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Rick and his family . From our very first conversation through the day we picked up our Giant Schnauzer puppy, Trueno, he was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He kept in touch with us regularly, sending photos and updates on Trueno throughout the process, which meant so much to us! His genuine care for his dogs was obvious in every interaction. He answered all our questions patiently and clearly knew his breed inside and out. Pickup day was smooth and stress-free, a great final touch to a wonderful experience. Trueno is a dream come true, she is the sweetest girl there is! We’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a healthy, well-socialized puppy from a breeder who truly cares.

    I can’t even put into words how amazing Rick and Stratton House Kennels are!! He provided me with nearly daily (yes, daily!!!!) pics and updates and everything you could want leading up to bringing home your best friend. Winnie came home already so well adapted, happy, healthy, and FABULOUS!!!! Rick set me and Winnie up for success and I can not think of any other breeder that could do what him and his family do so well. They are the absolute best there is. Period.
