Meet the breeder

I'm Mary L., the breeder behind Sweet Pup Schnauzers located in North Zulch, TX. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do! We live on 60 acres in Texas between Houston & Dallas, near Bryan/College Station. Come see us! All of my pups are priced as pets. If breeder rights are desired, let me know but understand price will change.

Q. & A. with Mary

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have had Schnauzers most of our married life and love them. We have 3 females. I use a male from a local respected breeder in my area. This has been a good plan for me as I've had some beautiful puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    I believe our breeding program is special because they are raised in my home and yet have the run of my property (60 acres) to get plenty of exercise and sunshine. I feel that is a contributing factor as to why they have easy deliveries and great temperaments.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bernedoodle puppies include brown and white, black, black and white, and tri-color. Miniature Schnauzer puppies include wheaten, white, parti, liver, salt and pepper, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Mary

Mary has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Mary partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“One of the joys of breeding my puppies is seeing the excitement and love in the faces of the new owners. I use a short application form primarily to confirm that the individual is a serious purchaser and have properly prepared for the arrival of their fur baby. I amplify my application process with my 2 year limited health guarantee for puppies sold above a $1,500 price range. The agreement has several clauses that would rule out those that were not responsible pet owners. They are required to sign this prior to completing any purchase, therefore if they see a clause that they do not feel like they can comply to, they do not need to go forward with the purchase.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit that secures a specific puppy. The remaining $1,000 - $3,000 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price includes AKC papers for limited registration, a breeding agreement with a 2 year limited health guarantee. Thru Good Dog, buyers can apply for a payment plan, if you need it. Info below. $500 when a puppy has been chosen & pick up date established.”

Contract & health guarantee

Mary may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Mary offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Mary directly.

All contracts are handled securely through Good Dog.

    Mary was super responsive to all my questions. She was easy to work with since we came from out of state, and made herself available so we could pick up our boy to bring him home. He’s adjusted very well!

    Mary was wonderful! She quickly responded to every question and request I had. She made the entire process so easy. We absolutely love our Bernedoodle. I am so happy I found her puppies on Good Dog. Our Teddy is a very happy and healthy puppy.

    Mary was great from start to finish. Responded quick with all the info I asked and was very informative. The pick up was seamless and Elvin has been a great addition to my home. I’d recommend Mary to anyone looking for a mini schnauzer. Thank you!!

    We couldn’t be happier with our sweet little Schnauzer Riley Sue! From the very beginning, Mary was wonderful to work with—caring, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly passionate about her puppies. You can tell how much love and attention she puts into raising them.

    Mary was so kind and responsive! Great experience overall! We love our new Bernadoodles, and we named her Milie. She has adjusted so well and she is so sweet!

    Mary made everything so easy for us to pick up our puppy. It was our first time using Good Dog and we’re coming from out of state. She answered all of our questions , explained the process to us; made a difference for us. We drove on a weekend and met on time. Our puppy is happy and chill so you can tell he is well taken cared of. Given another opportunity, we’d be happy to get another pup from Mary!
