Meet the breeder

I'm Tina C., the breeder behind The Blue Eyed Schnauzer located in Winter Haven, FL. My love affair with Miniature Schnauzers began 30 years ago with my first named Harley Girl. I've been smitten with the breed ever since. If you're looking for a "human" dog, this is your breed. They are exceptionally smart, loyal and fierce protectors of their family.

Q. & A. with Tina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My goal is to offer the highest quality puppies, afforded every possible benefit. I spoil them!
  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding dogs have been AKC DNA tested for superior genetics with no defects. These puppies are cuddled daily, introduced to potty training, basic commands and are exposed to different environments (such as TV, vacuum, appliance sounds, adults, children and other dogs). They are acclimated to car rides and even come with a harness and seatbelt attachment for safety in the car.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten, parti, liver, 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.

    Tina was very attentive and available to answer any questions when I had them, and kept me up to date with Vader's progress thru picture and videos. She made the process of picking up Vader very easy considering it was a Christmas gift for my spouse and had to keep things discreet. Good Dog was so helpful with finding the right dog for our family, and Tina's knowledge of the breed was top notch!

    Our experience with Tina was absolutely perfect from start to finish. She graciously opened up her home to us for numerous visits, where it was obvious how much thought and effort Tina had put into maximizing enrichment for the puppies. It was also immediately clear how deeply she cares for her own dogs, and that love and attention carried through to every aspect of how the puppies were raised. Her communication was impeccable — timely, thorough, and reassuring — and she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth, successful transition bringing our puppy home. We could not have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring breeder.

    Our Experience with Tina from the Blue Eyed Schnauzer. First, we got an incredible Puppy, we named Cici. Yes, Cici has beautiful Blue Eyes, a Beautiful Dog…..we have three other Mini-Schnauzers ages 5 1/2 to 6 years old and Cici gets along with them Great. We can tell that Tina spent a lot of time caring and training Cici and was seamless for us to socialize Cici with our Mini-pack of Mini-Schnauzers almost immediately. My wife and I visited Tina when the puppies were about 5 weeks old. Extremely clean, organized and personal environment for raising puppies; exactly how we would have raised puppies in our own home. After our meeting, Tina kept us very informed on the progress and updates on Cici. She even started using the name we picked for the puppy so by the time we picked her up she knew her new name. Lots of videos and pictures and information until Cici was old enough and we were able to pick her up. My wife and I got the 5 Star Treatment when we picked up Cici. Of course she had her final Vet visit, vaccines and health certificate; to top it off she had a Top Notch Schnauzer Haircut. Very very Nice….an 8 week old Schnauzer with this Beautiful Professional Haircut. To top everything off, we got a nice gift box with harness, blanket and a Beautiful Pearl Collar for out new little Girl. I could not have asked for for anything more from this experience in getting a new Puppy. Much more than we expected. We got a well bread and well acclimated Mini-Schnauzer for our family and Tina did an Incredible Job in making this a very pleasant experience. Thank you Tina

    From the very first moment, Tina and her husband Steve were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. They invited us to meet our puppy at their home, and what could have been a simple visit turned into a truly wonderful afternoon where we connected, learned a lot, and felt completely at ease. Throughout the entire process, Tina kept us updated and informed while Hoku was growing and completing the necessary time before pickup. Her communication was consistent, thoughtful, and reassuring—she made sure we always felt included and confident every step of the way. Even after bringing Hoku home, we have remained in contact. Tina and Steve genuinely care, not only about their puppies, but also about the families who adopt them. Thanks to them, we were able to welcome the most beautiful, healthy, and sweet puppy into our family—an experience we will always be grateful for. Tina’s dedication and the way she raises her puppies is truly impressive. You can tell there is real love, care, and intention behind everything she does. If you are looking for a breeder who is trustworthy, warm, and deeply committed to their puppies’ wellbeing, we wholeheartedly recommend Tina and Steve❤️🐾 Grenny & Jesus

    Tina is very knowledgeable about the breed. She is very communicative and kept me informed throughout the entire process, making it very easy. We received pictures and updates throughout the early stages of Bogart's life. She accommodated us with the pick-up date and location. Bogart is healthy and energetic. Bogart is a joy, and the process from beginning to end was seamless. We would definitely recommend her as a serious and caring breeder. Albert Crespo Miami Beach

    Tina was amazing to have done this process with. From the very beginning I could tell she loves her schnauzer and just a nice person. She regularly sent me updates, pictures and videos up until adoption day. Nikolaj is a very happy pup. Already doubled in size now. But doing great. Hes very quick at picking up things and looooovesss kisses. But hes also a quick one. But I couldn't love him more or be any happier that I worked with Tina. She even sent him home with everything he needed and more!
