Meet the breeder

I'm Karen P., the breeder behind Tseekhah (Complete Darkness) Kennel located in Moberly, MO. Breeding on keeping to the the traditions of the breed. We breed to find the best qualities of temperament and workability without watering down the drive.

Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always had a curiosity for breeding. Especially working with Susan Butcher who was very selective in her kennel for certain traits. From her I learned a lot and know I am where I am. I feel confident going into this area by myself. Everyone has to start somewhere.

  • What makes your program special?

    I don't breed for the flashy Look at Me dog. I breed to bring out what a Giant Schnauzer is supposed to be, a strong, intelligent, working dog that is highly versatile and family orientated.

  • 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.

    I was in the market for a Giant Schnauzer and was extremely nervous about problems with the big purchase. Everything worked out wonderfully and I am so happy with Bruce(Grey Boy). He is a healthy, smart, and good looking dog. Potty training was a breeze, along with many other commands he has mastered in short order. All he wants to do is please me. He has received clean bill of health from our vet on all things(hips, teeth, skin, coat) and just a beautiful dog with a great temperment. Karen has always been availible for advice or to help alleviate concerns. I can't say enough about her help or the wonderful puppy I received from her. I am so thankfull the stars aligned and our paths crossed.
