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.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
