Meet the breeder
I'm Ronnette D., the breeder behind Von Baron Schnauzers located in Dayton, TX. Welcome to Von Baron Schnauzers – Where Quality and Care Come First Hi, I’m Ronnette Davis, the proud owner and breeder behind Von Baron Schnauzers, located in Dayton, Texas near Houston, TEXAS. My passion is raising healthy, well-socialized AKC Miniature Schnauzers that become loving family companions. My Breeding Philosophy At Von Baron Schnauzers, I prioritize health, temperament, and genetic diversity to produce the best Miniature Schnauzers possible. I carefully select parent dogs based on: ✔ Excellent temperament – ensuring puppies grow into well-mannered companions ✔ Health screenings – to eliminate genetic diseases common in Schnauzers ✔ Genetic diversity – avoiding inbreeding to maintain strong, healthy lines A Loving, Home-Raised Environment My puppies are raised inside my home, not in kennels. From birth, they receive constant care, affection, and exposure to everyday life. I provide a stimulating environment to help them develop confidence and adaptability, including: ✔ Daily human interaction to encourage trust and socialization ✔ Exposure to household sounds and textures to ease transitions into new homes ✔ Early introduction to potty training for easier housebreaking Early Socialization & Training I believe in starting early when it comes to training and socialization. Here’s what I do for every puppy: 🐶 Gentle handling from birth to build resilience and trust 🛁 First grooming experiences (baths, body clips, nail trims) to prevent fear later in life 🎀 Collar acclimation and crate conditioning to ensure an easy transition 🚗 Car ride exposure to prevent motion sickness and stress in new environments Health Testing & Lifetime Guarantee Health is my top priority, which is why I conduct comprehensive health testing on all my parent dogs. I test for: ✔ Eye diseases (including PRA and Myotonia Congenita) ✔ Eye and Heart health through OFA certifications ✔ Overall genetic soundness 💯 To give families peace of mind, I offer a Lifetime 100% Money-Back Genetic Health Guarantee. That’s how confident I am in the quality of my Schnauzers. Matching Puppies with the Right Families Finding the perfect match between a puppy and their new family is something I take very seriously. I conduct: 🐾 Formal temperament testing at 7 weeks to understand each puppy’s personality 🏡 Personality matching to ensure they fit seamlessly into your home and lifestyle 📖 New owner education so you feel fully prepared for life with your new Schnauzer What Makes Von Baron Schnauzers Different? I go above and beyond to give my puppies the best possible start in life: ✅ Early potty training initiation for easier housebreaking ✅ Sleeping near puppies for the first four weeks for round-the-clock care ✅ Daily exposure to new sights, sounds, and experiences to build confidence My Experience & Commitment Breeding Miniature Schnauzers is not just my profession—it’s my passion. I have spent years perfecting my breeding program, including: 🐾 Apprenticing under a top Schnauzer breeder to refine my expertise 📸 Professional puppy photography so families can watch their puppies grow 🏡 Raising all dogs in my home on a spacious 3/4-acre property – never confined to a kennel Hear from My Happy Puppy Families! ⭐️ “Our Schnauzer from Von Baron is the best dog we’ve ever had! So smart, loving, and well-behaved.” ⭐️ “Ronnette truly cares about her puppies and provides lifetime support!” ⭐️ “From the temperament testing to the training, Von Baron Schnauzers is a cut above the rest.” Contact Me to Bring Home Your Dream Schnauzer! If you’re looking for a loving, well-socialized, and healthy Miniature Schnauzer, I’d love to help you find the perfect match.
Q. & A. with Ronnette
Why did you start breeding?
I am a photographer that stumbled into being a Master Kennel Manager. My expansive knowledge of the breed was developed while working as a master kennel manager for one of the largest schnauzer breeders in the US. My love for Miniature Schnauzers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It has been an absolute joy of a journey and I pride myself on helping all of my clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle. I have severe allergies and found the schnauzer being hypoallergenic, to be a perfect breed to be around since they don't shed. They are very loyal and also make fantastic therapy dogs. We have a couple of our dogs that are now working therapy dogs.What makes your program special?
Raised with Love by Ronnette Davis at Von Baron Schnauzers Hi there! I’m Ronnette Davis, the proud breeder behind Von Baron Schnauzers here in Texas. I’m so happy you’ve found us! If you're looking for Miniature Schnauzer puppies in TX, I’d love to introduce you to our little family. At Von Baron Schnauzers, I raise AKC-registered puppies in my home with lots of love and hands-on care. Each puppy is part of our family until they become part of yours. My breeding program is small and personal. I focus on quality, not quantity, and I’m passionate about giving every puppy the best start in life. I’ve loved this breed for years, and it brings me so much joy to match the right puppy with the perfect home. What Makes Us Special? Health Comes First. All of my adult dogs are OFA certified for heart and eyes, and they are Embark DNA tested. This helps ensure your puppy has the healthiest start possible. Our puppies are also AKC registered, so you can be confident in their quality and pedigree. Raised in our Home, our puppies are born and raised right in our living room. They’re part of daily life—hearing the vacuum, kids playing, TV sounds, and lots of cuddles. This kind of early exposure helps them become confident and well-adjusted. Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)I start ENS at just 3 days old. This simple technique has amazing benefits, like helping puppies handle stress better, grow stronger, and become calmer adults. It even improves heart health and immune systems. Started on Potty Training & Social SkillsI begin potty training before puppies leave and get them used to crates and routines. They’re handled daily and learn to be comfortable with people, other dogs, and everyday noises. A Healthy Start with RAW Diet & Nuvet Supplements. I feed all my dogs and puppies a high-quality RAW diet. I also use Nuvet supplements to support strong development. Each puppy goes home with a sample and a recommendation to continue with Nuvet for lifelong health. You can learn more at www.nuvet.com/46509. Lifetime Health Guarantee & Support. I offer a full lifetime health guarantee with every puppy. I’m always here for you—whether it’s a quick question or years down the road. My families become part of the Von Baron community, and I truly care about your puppy’s lifelong well-being. What You’ll Receive with Your Puppy Your puppy will come home with: Full AKC registration Dewclaws removed, tail docked, natural ears Up-to-date vaccines by a licensed vet Deworming and microchip 30 days of free pet insurance (AKC Pet Insurance or Trupanion) Plus, a thoughtful puppy pack valued at over $250: Bed or airline carrier (if flying) Blanket that smells like mom Harness, collar, leash 2 toys, treats, and dental chews Nuvet sample & probiotics Collapsible bowl, shampoo, and brush Puppy food, health record, and litter certificate Snuggle puppy & ID tag Everything you need to settle your new best friend into their forever home! Our Adult Dogs My schnauzers aren’t just breeding dogs—they’re family. They love to play, go for swims in their pool, and snuggle on the couch. I make sure they’re healthy and happy because that’s what creates healthy, happy puppies. I take great pride in knowing my puppies inherit not just great genetics, but also the love and joy they see every day from their parents. Capturing Your Puppy’s Journey With my background in photography, I love capturing your puppy’s growth. I take pictures and videos from the moment they’re born so you can see your pup’s personality blossom. I also offer FaceTime so you can connect with your baby before pickup. Ready to Join the Von Baron Family? My puppies often find homes before they’re born, so don’t wait to reach out! Ask me about our waiting list, puppy payment plans, and even how to access free online puppy training classes. Also, ask about our payment plan.

It measures: Social Attraction: How eagerly a puppy approaches a stranger. Following: Whether the puppy follows a person or stays independent. Restraint: How the puppy reacts to being held down on its back for 30 seconds (indicates dominance or submission). Sensitivity: Reactions to touch, sound, and sudden movement. After testing is conducted, I am able to make sure the puppy you picked is right for your family."

I recently acquired a miniature schnauzer from Ronnette for my eight-year-old daughter, and the experience was outstanding. Ronnette is a caring breeder who truly loves her puppies. She maintained transparency and prompt communication throughout the process, providing videos and photos of our puppy's development. The delivery journey was seamless, as she ensured our puppy had everything he needed and kept track of him until he arrived safely. The educational puppy booklet was also a fantastic resource. This puppy has been a game changer for my daughter; she has become more focused and disciplined as she learns to take responsibility for him. They are inseparable, and she now reads to him every night before bed. Ronnette continues to be a valuable resource for any questions we have about our puppy's development and health. It’s clear she treats her puppies like family. I would gladly purchase from her again!

We had the absolute best experience! Ronnette was honest, communicative, and very helpful in answering all our questions. Twix is healthy, well-socialized, and the perfect addition to our family. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-bred pup.

Ronnette was great to work with and her love for her dogs is very evident! She really sets them up for success in their new homes. Her knowledge of the breed is impressive and her continued support is so valuable as a new puppy mom. We just adore our little Zeke!

I did a fairly extensive search once I settled on the miniature schnauzer breed. Ronnette was clearly knowledgable, experienced and committed to these dogs. I felt like I was in great hands making a very long term important decision. She was responsive to all of my questions and kept me updated with photos and videos of Remy. I picked him up and she gave me a ton of useful info, recommendations and puppy stuff to get started. She even started him on potty training and sitting. He's super smart and cuddly too.

Ronnette is fantastic. She is knowledgeable, caring, nuturing and her expertise is outstanding. Teddie aka Luke is well socialized, very healthy and he shows that he was raised in a home environment with good care and lots of love. She has shared her knowledge about the mini schnauzer and has answered questions without hesitation, She has also provided great tips and a handbook containing vaulable information. I am a previous owner of 2 mini schnauzers and I can honestly say that neither of them were given the care, socializtion, nurturing or love that Ronnette has given Teddie. She introduced me and my husband to Teddie's parents and the other Schnauzers in her household. The were friendly and above all happy and healthy. She provided us with a bag of toys, food, a bed, vet records and mamy more items. We highly recommend Ronnette from Von Baron Schnauzers.

We have known Ronnette Davis for many years. She is a professional breeder of miniature schnauzers. We are so pleased with our new puppy Kona! We couldn't have matched more perfectly. He is as she said he would be, calm and attentive and potty trained! If you are looking for a puppy, Ronnette has the best!
