I'm melissa w., the breeder behind Walker's Schnauzers located in Dunkirk, IN. We love this breed and love raising the puppies!

It’s important to us to share the gift of living with one of our puppies with other families.
Q. & A. with melissa
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I loved the breed and began our search for our new puppy. We found our beautiful girl Piper 3 years ago and fell in love so much with her we had to get more. She is so very smart, playful, just an overall fantastic dog we had talked about it and really wanted to try breeding her because we wanted to keep one of her puppies. We then found our boy Ace and began. We love it!
What makes your program special?
All our dogs are AKC registered. We take the puppies to the vet within the first 3 days to get their tails docked and dew claws removed. They go back and have their wellness check, shots, de-worming. Our pups are raised in our home with lots of love from us, our kids (15, 11, 2), and the cats. They are played with and handled several times daily.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver, black and silver, salt and pepper, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
