ToMar Miniature Schnauzers
Meet the breeder
I'm Mary P., the breeder behind ToMar Miniature Schnauzers located in La Crosse, WI. We have been actively breeding Miniature Schnauzers since 1985. We provide buyers with healthy, socialized puppies.
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
It all started after purchasing a Miniature Schnauzer which competed in the Obedience and Agility fields. Whilst at a competition, a glance into the conformation ring was all it took to investigate further, leading to the purchase of the ToMar foundation bitch Am, Can Ch Minuteman Wednesday Addams.What makes your program special?
ToMar Miniature Schnauzers are owned and loved by Mary Paisley of Wisconsin, USA. The Kennel was started in 1985 and since then has gained recognition from around the world. Keeping the kennel small with a vision of quality, not quantity, on average only 2 litters are born here each year, often producing 2 or more champions from this.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
