Q. & A. with Theresa
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to get into breeding when we fell in love with our Mini Schnauzers and the breed in general. We wanted to be able to provide this amazing breed to others that will love, and cherish them as we do. We focus on breeding to improve the health of our breed and a well balanced temperament. We health test our breeding parents and ensure year round proper care and always fully vaccinate them.What makes your program special?
We ensure good health in all our adults and puppies. We begin litter training at 3 weeks of age and acclimate our puppies early with lots of touching, differents sounds, holding, playing and socializing. We raise our litters indoors with proper temperature for summer/winter weather. We raise our puppies with lots of love and are always available for video calls, and for you to make home visits.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, white, parti, black, salt and pepper, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Theresa was so kind and gave us the necessities for taking care of Luna, including her dog food, toys, and a collar, just to name a few. Luna was bathed before we got her so we didn’t need to worry about it until Luna got used to our home. Any questions we had was answered. We saw some varieties of personality in their pets. While Luna was quiet, another was energetic. Since Luna is an adult, she was already potty trained when she came to our house and knew a few commands. If you’re interested in getting a schnauzer and you’re close to Sacramento, I would recommend them!

+5From start to finish, our experience with Theresa and T&A Cali Schnauzer was absolutely amazing! She was responsive, always available to answer questions, and provided so much valuable knowledge about the breed, puppy care, and what to expect. Murphy has been the perfect addition to our home—healthy, happy, and full of personality! It’s clear that Theresa puts so much love and care into her puppies, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready for their forever homes. If you’re looking for a reputable, caring, and knowledgeable breeder, Theresa is the one! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend her to anyone searching for their perfect pup. Thank you, Theresa, for bringing Murphy into our lives!

We’re so thankful we found Theresa and little Willow. After losing our previous Schnauzer, we were heartbroken as was our 2-1/2 year old Schnauzer. We knew we needed another puppy. I messaged Theresa and she responded right away and answered all my questions. When we picked up our new baby, Theresa was very knowledgeable and gave us a huge bucket full of treats, food, toys, and a blanket. We keep in touch and I get to share pictures and videos of our happy family. Thank you so much!!

Working with Theresa was an absolute pleasure! Her knowledge of the Mini Schnauzer breed and willingness to answer all my questions made the entire process smooth and reassuring. The weekly updates and pictures she provided made the experience even more special—we loved watching our little Remy grow week by week! If you’re looking for a Mini Schnauzer, I highly recommend Theresa. Remy has already brought so much joy and love into our lives, and we’re so grateful. Thank you, Theresa!
