Meet the breeder
I'm Stacy L., the breeder behind Tailwind Giant Schnauzers located in Kokomo, IN. I'm a preservation breeder. I strive to breed for correct conformation while retaining the working ability and temperament of the breed. We exceed the recommended Health testing requirements for all of our Dogs. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.
Q. & A. with Stacy
Why did you start breeding?
My desire to have all-around dogs led me to my breeding program. Some breed "Show Dogs" some only "working" dogs. I want my dogs to have the ability and temperament to do both, and still be competitive in the breed ring.What makes your program special?
I evaluate, train and show my own dogs. I know the qualities needed to be competitive in both rings and performance sports. I strive for dogs that I would want to keep for myself to campaign.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Stacy
Stacy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $3,000 - $3,700 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.
“Our Pricing is based on the Conformation and Temperament along with the intended vocation of the puppy. The choice to crop the ears also factors into the puppy's price. Each puppy is evaluated at 8 weeks, and again at 12 weeks. They are determined at that time to be pet quality or a show prospect. They also are given the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test at 49 days. The show prospects are usually kept a bit longer and re-evaluated before placement into show homes. Puppies that have been cropped will stay until the ears have healed and can be posted before leaving for their new homes. A $500.00 dollar non refundable Deposit is required to guarantee a puppy from the current litter. The puppy reservation/deposit paperwork must be returned along with the $500. deposit to Tailwind Giants to facilitate puppy selection within the current litter. A deposit will only be requested once we have determined that there will be a suitable puppy for your family.”

Stacy may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

Breeze, mom
Giant Schnauzer
About Breeze
Breeze is a half sister to my girl REO. I was so impressed with her, that I wanted another girl from this Dam. She is just beginning her show career, and I expect her to finish her Championship easily. She has the same high drive, and catches on just as quickly. She should be a joy to train in the other disciplines. She has started Scent work and Barn Hunt. I cant wait to see her in FastCats as well. It will be interesting to see which sister is faster, Breeze or REO! Keep an eye out for her, She should accomplish a lot!

About REO
I can't say enough good things about this Gal. REO is a very high Drive girl. She loves training and catches on very quickly. She has finished her Championship and is now rearing to go in the Obedience Ring. She is also ready to compete in both Scent work and Barn hunt. We are also beginning her training in Agility and Tracking. There is nothing that she won't try. I expect great things from her. I only hope that I have the energy to keep up with her!

+4Tailwind Kennel was great to work with. They were always there to answer any questions we might have had in the beginning and after we brought Ollie home. We couldn't be any more happier with who we went with.
