Q. & A. with Eugenia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was walking thru Germany & saw my 1st Giants…. was HOOKED! Came home & searched far & wide for a giant Schnauzer. Contacted so many breeders. Finally found a breeder with a litter on the way and I got on the waitlist!! My youngest daughter left the house for college 😫….. and my female Giant came home in my arms. Never thought about breeding till a year later when a friendly neighbor approached & asked about getting a puppy from her. I have learned so much!!! I have 3 giants now! I LOVE my VELCRO SHADOWS!! Floral designer by trade. I owned/ran Wessels Family Honey, LLC we were in 400 plus stores ofter a pretty bad honey year pieced it off & bought rental properties. Our home has little over 8acres and we have done so many animals….lol now we have Filbert trees, 2 barn cats & Giants….thus our tagline, “GIANTS IN THE GROVE!” Striving to learn as much as I can! AKC EVENTS are so much fun & this breed is incredibly smart, talented & deserve THE BEST! We are doing scent, conformation.,,hoping for truffle hunting as well!!!

    Sorry for the late review. Have been very busy since the new puppy. Did a lot of research on this breed before purchasing. Zeus is a perfect example of a giant schnauzer. As far as the breeeder, Eugenia is a perfect example of a great breeder. She cares more about the well being of her puppies more than anything. So thank you for the excellent experience and the new friend.

    Eugenia is great to work with. Jack was going to be my first GS so she gave me lots of information to make sure I knew what to expect. After listening to what I wanted to do with him ( scent work and rally) she picked out just the right puppy for me. We kept in touch and she was always available to hear about his accomplishments like when he got his Farm Dog Title or give me moral support when he broke his toe. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a GS SamPointer

    It great working with Eugenia and Wessells Giant schnauzers. She took a lot of time with us as we picked out our puppy. Our granddaughters were there to help and everyone was patient with us as we found the right puppy “Coral”. Olive is now an energetic 2 year old that is pretty obedient. She weighs 92 pounds and loves to play in the house or the backyard. She waits patiently every morning for her walk.

    Eugenia is simply the best. From matching you with a pup whose temperament matches your lifestyle to checking in to see how it is going after you bring your pup home. These pups are not just a business for her, she genuinely cares about them and their lives after they leave her care.

    Eugenia was great to work with, we loved getting social media updates as the pups were born and grew up before they went to their forever homes.
