Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
I produce an occasional litter only when I would like to have a pup for myself to bring into the show ring. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program.What makes your program special?
I have a great amount of education and experience in breeding healthy puppies! My Miniature Schnauzer pups are hand-raised in my home with tender, loving care to ensure a reliable temperament and cherished companionship with its family. I do not breed often, but when I do I ensure I am always doing so as responsibly as possible. Rest assured, this is where wonderful health, temperament, and beauty meet!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include salt and pepper and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
