What makes your program special?
A successful breeding program requires a lot of dedication, knowledge, and skill. One of the key factors that makes our breeding program special is a focus on producing healthy, well-tempered puppies that conform to the breed standard. This involves careful selection of breeding stock based on health and temperament testing.

Our goal is producing miniature schnauzers with superior coat color, size, and working to eliminate certain genetic diseases from the breed. We have a commitment to providing ongoing support and education to puppy buyers, providing resources and guidance on topics such as nutrition, and healthcare, as well as being available to answer questions and provide support throughout the life of the dog.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

We picked up Ranger from Virgil Farms and love our new puppy that we named Ranger. Garrett, who runs Virgil Farms was responsive and answered all of my questions about Ranger. It was clear Ranger had been well cared for and was in excellent health. He was practically potty trained to go outside when we brought him home. He was kenneled trained we think as he had no problems being kenneled at night or while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend Virgil Farms and will use them again as Ranger has been an incredible addition to our family .
