I'm Carla R., the breeder behind Surely Blessed Mini Schnauzers located in Dickson, TN. We are a small, family-run breeding program focusing on quality care and good health. Our puppies are the perfect loving and loyal companions!
Q. & A. with Carla
Why did you start breeding?
We loved seeing our friends' mini schnauzer puppies and the joy they brought to their families. When the opportunity came along to start our own breeding program, we were thrilled!
What makes your program special?
We love our dogs like crazy! We homeschool which allows us to spend lots of time caring for and snuggling our dogs. We are intentional about socializing our puppies so they are well prepared for their forever homes.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

The experience of getting my little girl puppy, Charlie was pretty flawless! I met her a week before I got her. Carla and her family were very accommodating, and I felt great about getting her! I believe that she was well cared for during the time that she was with their family. I’m loving this little puppy, and our training is coming along quite well! ❤️
