Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
Over the years, I have been able to be a work-at-home mom and homeschool my six kids.. because I grew up with my parents raising and showing Golden and Labrador Retrievers I have great mentoring and im able to contribute to the household financially by breeding a smaller, loyal, non-shedding, hypoallergenic and wonderful dog. What a great breed!What makes your program special?
We have proudly been breeding for 19 years, and offer AKC certified Miniature Schnauzers. All our dogs are bred in my home, with special attention put toward temperament and conformation. All of our puppies here at Zion Miniature Schnauzers are crate, leash, and mostly potty trained before they leave my home to yours.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
