I'm Karen F., the breeder behind Vaquera Miniature Schnauzers located in Newfane, NY. I have owned and raised Miniature Schnauzers since 1995. Over the years I have fallen in love with the breed and have worked hard to produce wonderful puppies. Vaquera pups come from champion lines, have wonderful dispositions, are playful, cuddly and intelligent.
